   David Lapham (Stray Bullets, Batman: City of Crime) and Eric Battle (Batman) follow the weird and horrific exploits of the reborn instrument of God's wrath in a new 8-issue miniseries! As the personality of recently murdered Detective Crispus Allen recedes into the shadows, the strange entity known as the Spectre spans both interstellar cosmos and the crime-ridden back alleys of Gotham on his eerie quest to brutally punish those who choose to do wrong.

   Plus, here begins the 6-part backup feature in which strange forces threaten to tear asunder the very fabric of the DCU's past, present, and future! Dr. Thirteen rounds up the unusual suspects - Anthro, I...Vampire, Genius Jones, Primate Patrol, Gentleman Ghost, Captain Fear, Freedom Beast, Tracie 13 and others - for an adventure by the team of Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, BATMAN) and Cliff Chiang (DETECTIVE COMICS, HUMAN TARGET)!  Retailers: This issue will feature two covers that may be ordered separately.  The Standard Edition cover is by Mike Mignola; one copy of the Variant Edition, with a cover by Neal Adams, may be ordered for every 10 copies of the Standard Edition ordered.  Please see the Previews Order Form for further details.
