The Story
Devil's Bargain Toys and BigBadWorkShop announce the triumphant return of the legendary Human Bullet and his most cunning rival, Black Jet.
High above the Grand Canyon, Black Jet and the Sky Pirates patrol the clouds, sowing anarchy and destruction. Their toughest foe is the Human Bullet, a sharpshooter with an eye for justice and a personal vendetta against Black Jet.
Before taking up the mantle of the Human Bullet, Jody Aquino-Barr was a CIA officer dismissed in disgrace. Black Jet took the young man in and gave him purpose, but Jody grew uneasy with the Sky Pirates' increasingly violent exploits and fled. A secretive government agency then offered a deal: avoid jail time by working for good. Armed with a retrofitted Sky Pirate uniform, the Human Bullet has a chance to right the wrongs of his past and bring his former comrades to justice.

Evolution of Mini Comics: Part 2
Before he reinvented himself as the heroic Human Bullet, Jody Aquino-Barr was a member of Black Jet's notorious Sky Pirates. It wasn't until he saw first hand the depth of their brutality that he fled into the waiting arms of an even greater evil, the seemingly altruistic Dr. Ursa. Today we share a panel from the mini comic written by Bill Nedrow that will be printed on the Human Bullet's box. Damian Navarro perfectly captured the moment Jody escaped from the sharpshooting Sky Pirate called Le Vol by pulling off a seemingly impossible shot that fired a bullet through both of palms. Damian has also provided you with his initial sketch as well as an alternate angle he considered during the brainstorming process.
