Another couple of panels... His head ever-encased in a mysterious battle mask, Rayken Shorde- failed saboteur against the Thalamus military R&D base- is being hunted down like a dog by its ardent security forces... https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZSQ3GCKhtfA/VzBlyhMc-5I/AAAAAAAACPU/hk5MtdzCPjgEYH3mxLw-FW...
