Mr. Terrific: Year One #2
In the past, Michael Holt violently lost his very last lifeline to the outside world — and he’s certain that it’s entirely his fault. Guilt and grief bring him to the Gateway City bridge in an effort to put an end to the pain once and for all, where the Spectre awaits to render divine judgment… and perhaps even salvation!
And in the present, Mr. Terrific’s investigation into a mysterious new rift in his old city brings him face-to-face with an unexpectedly Apokoliptian foe!
