Déjà vu slammed the Emerald Aven-ger as he sat in the pew behind the assas-sins at Reverend Jones’ old church.
No more preachers would die, not with the Emerald Avenger on the case.

“Oh, my mistake.”
“Just don’t bother me at this hour.”
“It’s not my fault you were up until two a.m. watching the Marx Brothers.”
“Hey, how did you know that?”
