Synopsis
Maverick goes to a bar to clear his head and runs up against the Blob. Elena takes off after Sabretooth.

Indexer Notes

In an odd continuity glitch, Blob is fully clothed when he belts Maverick out of a bar window, but when the fight is joined a few pages later, he is stripped down to his shorts (one of the dangers of having two artists working on a book).
