About this ebook

X's former accomplice Leigh Ferguson is shocked to learn that her high school friend has become the latest victim of "the Skin Traders," a mysterious gang of surgically modified thugs stealing slices of flesh from their abductees. Only the resilient vigilante X can stand up to the demented plastic surgeon who leads this "patchwork" crew. Scalpels clash with swords in a bloody hospital showdown!

Collecting issues #17 through #20, this latest volume of Dark Horse's edgy superhero series is a perfect starting point for new readers, but it's also packed with Easter-egg references for longtime fans.
