Creator: Alex M Clark Independently published, 2025 When we last left our protagonists Quinn and Morgan, as described in our review mid-last year of Lost in the Shuffle #1 (Lost in the Shuffle #1 (review) – World Comic Book Review ), they were in very big trouble and on the run, trying to evade both the police and gangsters.
