Capping off another thrilling cliffhanger from the last issue, Jonathan Lord is no longer the Lord of the Undead. But he can never return to that persona least he suffer the ultimate fate of a vampire permanently: undead and thirsty for human blood.
Meanwhile thanks to progress made between former enemy Blackfeather, Milestone, and the ghost of former TV star, Brian Vane, the ever growing group of allies to Jonathan and the Falcon spirit have discovered a way to track the Executioner, now posing in the form of the Winged Avenger, a character from a beloved 1960s superhero program.
But the Executioner has other plans for Lord as he's forcibly convinced the producers of the Silverblade remake to hire Jonathan Lord, Jr. as the new Silverblade. Now, in devious fashion, the Executioner hopes that a workplace accident will be able to bring about Jonathan's demise and make the Falcon vulnerable to attack without his champion to fight in its stead.
This chapter wasn't quite up to par with the previous two issues. However, some threads left dangling since issue 4 were returned to by having the Executioner kill off the murderous director whose assassination attempt on an elderly Lord turned him into the Silverblade. With the director's assistant now under the Executioner's power, the ultimate force of evil has another ally in his arsenal to destroy his polar opposite- the Falcon.
