Reviews

[Drew Canole · Rating 2 out of 5]

HR is in V-City with the martian Juggler. They talk about human civilization on Mars and are abducted by 3 bounty-hunters who run a comicbook shop. the THB pill gets cut in half, but when he gets water on him he's able to put the two halves back together and they escape.

The talking about Mars and with the bounty-hunters was pretty dull.
