Page 2, panels 2, 3, 4, 6: Wires removed to take away inference that victim was electrocuted

Smith's is visible as a white space, even the outline was deleted from the black plate.
Page 18, panel 7: The part of the panel showing Irma shooting herself in the head has been replaced
with a narrow panel that has "BANG" running vertically.
Page 18, panel 10: "The water's bloody!" has been removed from the first word balloon. Second balloon
changed from "That's blood on my hands!" to "He's been shot!"
Page 19, panel 2: Irma's body outline has been removed, but the color still prints.
