And yeah, I know what I'm doing. I saw a guy do this incantation once.

What could possibly go wrong?

Back in volume 4, we learned of a councilman who wants Cal's head on a platter. Here's where he gets it. Cal is finally captured and quickly railroaded through the court system with trumped up charges and a corrupt judge. 5-10 years just like that. And just like that we have a story involving Cal being in prison and trying to figure out how he's getting out.

It's fine, overall. The corrupt cops/judge/everyone is pretty cliche, but fine. It wraps up too quickly, but that's the pain of these 4-issue arcs. But I wasn't expecting how the ending ultimately went down, which is a very good thing.
