    Trace Morales' recent acquisition, and 18-wheeler containing “the fourth” (whatever that is) becomes something he may not be interested in keeping once he learns who he's stolen it from. He knows of course he took it from the Ghost Fleet, making the truck the only one the fleet has ever lost in his 200+ year history, but he doesn't know who owned the cargo. And who does it belong to? A very powerful Washington senator by the name of Cohle, that's who. And he's a very dangerous senator one as well.

    Senator Cohle's fact-finding briefing from the Ghost Fleet director, Robert Ward, gives the reader a good look at what went down mere moments ago when Morales pulled off the heist. Not happy with the news, Cohle gives Ward 48 hours to find his truck. Ward knows who has it and what needs to be done, but being Morales' ex-partner in the Ghost Fleet and former best friend, he tries to reason with him over the CB radio before acting on his duty. Their discussion ends poorly, and Morales' insanity appears to be coming out from hiding.

    One-eyed Morales is starting to become an interesting character: one who is obviously nutso, but when not in fanatic-mode is one who seems like a nice enough guy. After he steals the truck he and his dog Axl cruise to along to Iron Maiden, just hanging out, so there's that. It doesn't last long, but the scene gives the guy a bit more dimension than the reader has been giver so far. This issue has a cool 2-page hero-shot with gratuitous vehicular demolition that showcases Daniel Johnson's style and his ability to create some great energy on the page. And his cover on this issue is an interesting one; kind of calm-before-the-storm moment. After three issues, The Ghost Fleet has proven itself worthy of being a series to keep on the subscription list, and is quickly becoming a favorite. This is some fine trucker action.
