Unspoken Issues #136 - The Rafferty Saga (Firearm #12 and #13)(episode 1)

from The Source Material Comics Podcast · host W2M Network

BOOM! BANG! WHOA! Buckle up, true believers, because we’re diving headfirst into some prime ’90s Ultraverse insanity! This episode is all about the beginnings of "The Rafferty Saga", the ultimate knife-wielding, blood-spattering, ultra-hating villain from Malibu Comics! Our host stumbles upon an ashcan edition (yeah, we’re going DEEP CUT here) and uncovers a brutal, relentless, seven-month-long storyline that ran through Firearm, Freex, Night Man, Prime, Sludge, and more! And let’s be real—when a villain gets his own blood-splatter logo on every issue he touches, you KNOW it’s about to get gnarly. We break down Firearm #12, where Rafferty goes on a kill-crazy rampage, offing ultras left and right in some of the most over-the-top, full-page, 90s-style deaths ever! And it doesn’t stop there—Firearm #13 ups the ante with explosions, poison, firefights, and a strike team gunning for our hero! Plus, we get inside the mind of Alec Swan (aka Firearm), a guy so cool he breaks the fourth wall like he’s auditioning for Deadpool! And let’s not forget Rafferty’s ultimate mission—hunting ultras one by one, leaving a trail of bodies, and playing a twisted game of cat and mouse with Firearm. It’s a full-on '90s action flick meets comic book carnage, and we are HERE FOR IT! So, grab your holofoil covers, your polybags, and your best leather trench coat—it’s time to relive the Rafferty Saga.  Let's begin!
