Circus Maximus #5 (of 5)
Description
Final issue of Circus Maximus follows the crew who robbed the Temple of Saturn as they race toward a perilous escape from rival gangs, mystery cults, and Emperor Nero. Betrayal from within has left their loot dwindling and their chances of slipping away with their lives slipping away. With the flames of Rome closing in, they must choose between a clean getaway and a scorched reckoning with Nero for all they've endured. In this concluding chapter, writer Mark Sable teams with Giorgio Pontrelli’s kinetic art to bring ancient intrigue, brutal action, and surprising twists to a dramatic close, capped by a Paul Azaceta cover that heightens the intensity. This 5-issue arc blends historical setting with pulpy heist thrills, focusing on what characters sacrifice for loyalty and what power really costs. Will anyone survive the final fallout?
