### MANEFRAME — ISSUE #3: UNFINISHED BUSINESS The battle may be over, but the tension is far from settled. As Mane City continues to rebuild, Ace and Max face the challenges of a changing world. Old enemies, unanswered questions, and unfinished conflicts threaten the peace they've fought to restore. With Vex still pursuing his own agenda, the line between danger and discovery grows thinner. Trust is scarce, loyalties remain uncertain, and every decision carries consequences. **Some battles don't end when the fighting stops. Some are only getting started.** *MANEFRAME: UNFINISHED BUSINESS — Issue #3*
