'BEGINNING, MIDDLE AND END' Scud is programmed to destroy a basement monster but he will self destruct if he does, so the robotic assassin puts the wounded creature on life support and becomes a freelance assassin to pay for the hospital bills. Collects SCUD # 1-24, plus the super-sweet one-shot DRYWALL: UNZIPPED

Everyone comes back, but does everyone survive?

Once inside, Scud prepares his guns, and begins tracking the "monster", following trails of blood and mutilated bodies of employees. Finally he finds his target, Jeff, a monster with mousetraps for hands, an electrical plug for a head, a squid strapped to his chest and a mouth on each knee that shout pop-culture references as a form of communication. Scud shoots Jeff, and thinks that he is down, when Jeff suddenly gets up and mounts a counter-attack. Attacking with both his head and his hands, Jeff eventually sprays Scud in the face with ink from the squid and runs off.
