A damaged U.S. time-travel craft crashes back into the present, carrying one wounded pilot… and releasing a cybernetic time-traveler known as Berzerker. Confused and believing the military around him to be enemies, Berzerker attacks, forcing Vanguard to intervene. As the confrontation escalates and the media arrives, another time-pod materializes — delivering Alexander Kirk, a manipulator determined to reshape the narrative for his own purposes. The issue delivers fast action, big ’90s sci-fi energy, and a twist that leaves Vanguard questioning whether anything he did actually changed the timeline.
