The Anti-Life Equation has infected Gotham City, turning friend, foe and family into mindless slaves of Darkseid, and the might of the Spear of Destiny has left the Spectre powerless. Can the Question find the answer to restoring hope inside the one being capable of saving the world?

Cain walks the Earth with the Spear of Destiny in his hand, and the only one who can stop him is the Spectre! But the Spectre hovers at death's door, split from his host, and only one person can save him: Crispus Allen. Meanwhile, the Question, Radiant and Huntress struggle to defend what's left of Gotham in the face of a Justifier siege.

The Question's been marked for death by the Spectre! How will Renee escape the grasp of the Spirit of Vengeance? Can either of them stop the immortal Vandal Savage once he has the Spear of Destiny? Plus, the return of Batwoman!

With the end of creation nigh, Crispus Allen must embrace his role as the Spectre by exacting God's vengeance on some of the DC Universe's vilest sinners. But even as Allen struggles with his duty, a new threat is arising – one that only his former partner, Renee Montoya, a.k.a. the Question, can help him fight!

The sky rains blood, Darkseid's legion of slaves rampage across the planet, and in Gotham City, the Question and Huntress struggle to defend the few men, women and children who remain free. But without the Spectre, do they even have a chance against the might of Cain and the Spear of Destiny? The final battle is at hand, and the fate of the DCU hangs in the balance.
