The issue begins in an office at Marvin''s Manikans, where lowly employee Hershel Roundhead is having a meeting with his boss, Mr. Spidergod, regarding a monster that''s been eating the employees. Mr. Spidergod tells Hershel that if he doesn''t get someone to take care of it, he would send Hershel down to deal with it. We then find Hershel outside on the street, standing in front of a vending machine simply labeled SCUD. He inserts three Franks, presses a button and out steps Scud, the Disposable Assassin. Hershel gives Scud a disk containing all of the information he will need to complete the job on it, and Scud heads off to the Marvin''s Manikans building to take out his target.
