Part one of an exciting new story arc! The country of Libue is in the bloody throes of a desperate rebellion. While a brutal dictator uses whatever means necessary to squash the rebels, the American government orders OSI to locate and disarm Libue's nuclear missles before they go rogue. Steve plunges into the unforgiving desert on the hunt for the nukes, but finding them could be far tougher and deadlier than the Bionic Man bargained for.

The last thing that Steve Austin needs is a spy within OSI... but that's exactly what he gets! Relationships are tested to the breaking point as suspicion and blame run rampant. When the double agent's identity is finally revealed, it will shake the Bionic Man to the core.

Caught in a lethal crossfire between a growing rebellion and a vicious dictator determined to hold on to power at any cost, the Bionic Man must enlist help if he's to make it to Libue's capitol city in time to stop certain catastrophe. Once there, Steve navigates the bloody streets, desperate to locate the country's nuclear weapons before it's too late. But as time ticks away, he uncovers a plot far more insidious than he expected.

Behold... Purgatori, the vampire goddess! Born a slave in ancient Alexandria, she refused the life of servitude, rising up against her masters and claiming an unnatural power as her own. In her long life, she has dined on kings and queens, and toppled countless empires across the globe... but now, she finds herself again on her knees, a slave to her unquenchable thirst! Lucifer, the lord of Hell, has stripped Purgatori of most of her power and exiled...

While we know about the events that lead Jaime Summers to become Bionic Woman, the details of her break up with Steve have been a mystery...until now. Dealing with Jaime's injuries and long recovery have Steve on edge, but how will he react to the discovery that HE might have played a role in her accident? All questions will be answered in this stand alone issue.

With the chalice of regeneration in her hot red hands, Purgatori is one step closer to regaining her powers. But in order to get them back, she's going to have to return to the fiery pits of hell...this time as a mere mortal. Don't miss the Hell and Back story arc's action-packed penultimate issue!

On the run from Lucifer's hit squad, Lady Demon rides a newly arrived soul back to earth. Little does she know, the soul is attached to a woman in the middle of a dark conspiracy. That suits Lady Demon just fine because it means she gets to kill a whole lot of people.

During his mission in China, Steve faces a life-and-death struggle against a truly wicked enemy and an army of indestructible battle mechs. The Bionic Man will have to rely on wits and a strange new partner to escape this one alive!

An ancient relic may be the answer to quenching Purgatori's unnatural thirst. But if she wants it, she'll have to defeat Jade and her Yakuza goons. It's a fight Purgatori would normally savor, but with one foot in the grave, it won't be easy.

When a foreign scientist wishes to defect to America, Steve must infiltrate a highly secure research facility to get him out. He'll have the help of OSI's newest (and strangest) employee... but all the help in the world won't keep the Bionic Man alive if he's discovered!
