The Barbarian is making a break from behind bars — but between freedom and our hero from another world stands a squad of taser-wielding prison guards! Luckily, a solitary confinement cell is a great place to receive a mystic visitation from a goddess of cosmic justice. Meanwhile, the Barbarian’s public defender, Irene Chang gets much too close for comfort with her client’s possessed, blood-thirsty battleaxe!
