Now the third and last of the Secret City superheroes to emerge from the Triad Cell must fulfill his ultimate mission -- save modern mankind from the doom that destroyed Gazra. He soon discovers that his mission has taken a terrible new twist. A small group of the Ninth Men led by General Ordis has also survived.

Unless Captain Glory can first find and then join forces with Night Glider and Bombast, General Ordis will plunge mankind into a new unending Dark Age!

Signed and numbered Edition - Love and Rockets: Book 13 - 1st printing.
By Los Bros Hernandez.
'Chester Square' chronicles Maggie's turbulent life from the end of 'Wigwam Bam' through 'Bob Richardson,' Jaime's farewell to Love & Rockets. Split up from Hopey yet again, Maggie bounces back and forth between a one-laundromat town in Texas (the 'Chester Square' of the title), where she has to contend with both her own inner demons and a murderous hooker, and Camp Vicki, wher she has to fend off her aunt Vicki's attempts to make her a professional wrestler, and the unwanted advances of the amorous wrestling champ-to-be, Gina. As usual, Jaime spotlights a wide range of headstrong female characters, including Maggie's sister Esther and her cousin Xochitl; Penny Century, Hopey, and Danita show up as well, as does Rena Titañon, who, joined by the wrestler El Diablo, dominates the finale with a rousing free-for-all slugfest against six armed thugs.
