DC Universe: Helltown

Hub City is no Kansas, Dorothy. As a matter of fact, it’s probably as far removed as you can get. Corruption. Armed gangs. Odorous factories. Rigged elections. It’s no place to look for your past, but that’s where Vic Sage finds himself — friendless and with only a few bucks in his pocket.

But the adventure is about to begin. Finding a job with KWLM as a reporter and anchor, he uncovers the ugly secret about Reverend Hatch, Mayor Fermin, and why Hub City is the “armpit of the Midwest.” A beating later and a year of intense training under Richard Dragon and Shiva’s tutelage, Sage returns to clean up the mess as The Question — and it won’t be pretty.

Denny O’Neil has written a fantastic book based on the DC comic. With deviations that only novels can take, it is a thrilling, compelling, and magnetic story. The DC universe has conquered the bookstands. Be one of the first victims.
