We follow Aaron, one of Erica's friends from the flashback issues of the original series. He's sent on a mission to kill The Butcher, another rogue ex member of the House of Slaughter. As we find out, this time there is a very good reason they want this particular ex-agent dead.
The artwork is much better in this volume than it is in the original series.
The story is interestingly told, swapping between timelines from panel to panel, reflecting how history repeats itself.
It's a very good introduction to the new series and Aaron makes for an interesting new hero. The House of Slaughter is as morally skewed as ever and it's going to be great fun seeing if he can maintain this level of intensity.
These are bad people trying to do good things in bad ways. It certainly makes for a different dynamic in the storytelling.
