Brain Boy 0 (from DHP 23-25|2013|Dgtl-1680|Son of Ultron-Empire)

This is the original "Brain Boy" story serialized in "Dark Horse Presents" issues 23 thru 25, which precedes issue 1 which was published earlier this week (link in comments below).

Stands to reason that this one is "Issue 0", then, don't it! I'm unclear on why this wasn't re-released as an issue in its own right; that's how they did it for previous DHP spin-outs such as "Amala's Blade" and "Black Beetle", but no matter.

The only real downside here is that the artwork wasn't featured on any of the DHP covers, so I had to improvise and use one of Geof Darrow's splash pieces for a bookend instead. But there's no such thing as too much Darrow, so it's all good! :)
