Deathlands #135
Killville
5 hours and 42 minutes
Fleeing from the growing sinkhole that was once the Glory mines, Ryan Cawdor and his companions struggle to make their way east to Ryan's home of Front Royal as a safe haven for delivering Krysty's child. Along the way, they are welcomed into a Deathlands community based on the structure and devoted traditions of a 20th century Iowa State prison. One of the bizarre customs that has evolved is the tallying of victorious acts of violence as a way of achieving dominance. Through a misunderstanding, Doc Tanner is believed to have achieved 246 of such acts and is thrust unwillingly into a cage match against a savage, hulking opponent. The companions' fate may well rest on the outcome.
Elsewhere, Ricky Morales and Jo Abernathy are on the trail of his long-lost sister Yamile who was captured into slavery when he first met Ryan and the others. Having appropriated a slavers' wagon, they are pretending to be slavers themselves when they enter the territory of Cloudville, a thriving community that employs slave labor to maintain its prosperity. The ruse comes to a head when the real slavers arrive.
Narrated by Richard Rohan, Terence Aselford, Delores King Williams, Colleen Delany Alejandro Ruiz, Laura C. Harris, Zeke Alton, Tia Shearer, Michael Mowen, Lawrence Redmond, Karen Novack, Amanda Forstrom, Eva Wilhelm, Bruce Alan Rauscher, Michale Glenn, Carolyn Kashner, Marni Penning, Tracy Olivera, Christopher Walker, Eric Messner, Matthew Pauli, Andy Brownstein, Steven Carpenter, Henry Kramer, Matthew Ward, Elliot Dash, Marty Lodge, Jonathon Church, Matthew Bassett.

Our heroes, eyes wide open, follow a 90s movie street thug into an ex-prison which has mutated into a Thunderdome-like society where all the citizens have their IQs stated before their given names and fight in an arena. Of course, everyone is captured and forced to fight or be used by the men.
The highlights: Doc becomes a champion gladiator specializing in Japanese martial arts, using his opponents' moves against them.
Ryan has to survive two killer dogs while his hands are tied behind his back.
Jack hangs out in an elevator shaft for a few days until it's time to save the gang.
Ricky finds his sister and conquers a ville by killing the leadership, then walks away from it so new slavers can take it back and enslave his aspiring farmer sister after he leaves.
