AFTERBURN BAD BLOOD #3 (OF 4)

Afterburn: Bad Blood #3 continues the high-octane, film-ready saga as Jake and his team race to stay ahead of a mutant army. On an offshore oil rig run by his brother, they must form a fragile alliance while the clock ticks toward disaster. Drea digs into the mutants' origins, uncovering a conspiracy that may be the war's true engine. Scott Chitwood’s tight, cinematic scripting wears Derepentigny’s kinetic art with punchy action, stark suspense, and sunlit panels that feel ripped from a blockbuster. Now a major motion picture starring Dave Bautista and Samuel L. Jackson, the story progresses as the third of four installments in the ongoing Afterburn: Bad Blood arc, building toward a finale. The issue balances character drama with explosive set pieces, working as a standalone read or as a key chapter in the property’s broader adaptation universe.
