Plot: Super-heroine Maxima attends a Broadway production of Angels in America: Millennium Approaches. Afterwards, she empathically feels the pain of a young street prostitute named Kirsty. The girl thinks Maxima is an angel who has come to deliver her from the Hell that is her life. Maxima vows to help Kirsty, and after visiting the National Runaway Switchboard, she comes calling on Kirsty's pimp. . . with shocking results.
Notes: This story is one of Mangels' favorite comic stories to date. The editors paired Mangels up with artist Phil Jimenez partially because of the subject matter, and partially because the story featured Lizzie Angelo, one of the runaway girls from Marv Wolfman and George Perez's famous "Runaways" storyline from New Teen Titans #26-27. Here, we find out the hopeful fate of Lizzie, who we last saw in dire straits. There is a phone listing for the National Runaway Switchboard at the end of the story.
