Issue 3
Original Release: N/A
Amory Wars Release: 29 August 2007
Issue 3 starts with Claudio, who was supposed to be home hours earlier, outside the Kilgannon house saying goodnight to his girlfriend, Newo. Noticing that the door is damaged, Claudio enters the house and slips on something on the floor: Josephine's blood. Grabbing his sister, Claudio briefly revives Josephine—the first sign of his true potential. Josephine tells Claudio about what happened in Jersey City, and tells him to leave her and run as he is attacked by a priest. Claudio puts up a fight, but ultimately escapes by becoming intangible and moving through the kitchen wall.
At the spaceport, Mayo Deftinwolf oversees Coheed and Cambria being loaded aboard the Gloria Vel Vessa for transport to Paris: Earth. At a nearby bar, Josephine's frightened boyfriend, Patrick, is acquiring a gun, but is soon hunted down by a priest who destroys the bar; Patrick barely escapes in a car.
Elsewhere, the Prise are asking Mariah Antillera for help. Jesse, or Prize Fighter Inferno, appears and informs the Prise that Ryan is planning to separate the Twelfth Sector from Heaven's Fence and alter God's creation. Inferno tells the Prise that if they do not reform their pact, Man will wage war.
Cutting away, Claudio is seen standing over a sleeping Newo. He wants to tell her everything that has happened, but realizes that the information will only endanger her. He leaves without saying goodbye.
The comic ends with a vision that Coheed and Cambria are having on the ship: it depicts the birth of the K.B.I., and the reader learns that the Monstar's antidote is, in fact, Josephine. Coheed awakes ready for revenge.

Famous quotes containing the word issue:
“Modern equalitarian societies ... whether democratic or authoritarian in their political forms, always base themselves on the claim that they are making life happier.... Happiness thus becomes the chief political issue—in a sense, the only political issue—and for that reason it can never be treated as an issue at all.”
—Robert Warshow (1917–1955)
