X-O #6

Power Play – As Aric attacks Ax’s cyborgs, Ax dons his own alien battle-armour. The ensuing fight leads from air to sea, to an island where Ax’s scrambler paralyses Aric’s armour. But he sheds the “Good Skin” and still bests Ax. Aric spares Ax’s life, exchanging him for Ken. But Ken still cannot be trusted, so Aric replaces Ken’s severed hand with an extension of an armour that will slay Ken should he ever betray Aric again.
