One of the most intriguing comic book heroes of the 1980s was DC’s The Question, a faceless, morally conflicted avenger based in corrupt Hub City. An expert in martial arts, The Question also delved into Eastern philosophy while taking on crime and crooked politicians.

In this new, fourth volume, The Question tries to find a manufacturer of deadly plastic guns and attends his high school reunion. Then, as the election of a new mayor is being held, a tornado tears through Hub City, killing the new mayor-elect and leaving an unlikely bureaucrat to fill his shoes.
