Indexer Notes

This cover actually illustrates the story in the next issue. Issue #17 is probably the correct cover showing only Marlon threatened by giant claws.

Synopsis
In Seattle, an Irish renegade runs into a church and seizes hostages. A banshee has pursued him from Ireland after a girlfriend he shot laid a dying curse on him. Police surround the church but Marlon sneaks in and invites the banshee in. His fiance, Jessie, is among the hostages, as is a pregnant woman. The pregnant woman goes into labor as the hostages flee and Marlon negotiates. The banshee has no power here, and it agrees, "a life for a death". The Irishman wants to die, but Marlon tackles him. Jessie is grateful, but can't live in constant fear, so kisses Marlon goodbye.
