Beneath the Djangos Where the 90s are Seen

Jeff is still gone, so Django and Roman have called on our resident Data B.R.O. Brian to gather around the proverbial comic book round table and lay down their gooey ducks for all mankind. I mean, Youngblood is BACK! We're going beneath those dang trees again! There's a Canadian dog of some kind that you're gonna learn about! And so much more!
