Synopsis- SPOILER ALERT!!! |
|
The Question finds a
Nerve Gas didpenser in one of the watchtower's ventilation shafts.

him nowhere. upon returning to the Watchtower he ends up in a confrontation
with J'onn and discovers that the true perpetrator is him. Soon they find
that the culprit is BrainStorm. |

The Question notes
that he works alone but accepted the League's offer of membership lest they
be suspicious of him. His living space will be filled with a concentrated
Napalm Burst if anyone attempts to crack the code on his 'lead-lined' filing
cabinet. It is known that Superman cannot see through lead. His folders
reads KNOWN ENEMIES and "ALLIES" (note the quotation marks missing from the
other folders.).
He seems to consider
Darkseid a threat (in photo), even if he's dead at this point. He goes after
three suspects- The Mad Hatter (in Arkham), the Fiddler (injured), and Lex
Luthor (who has just gone 'straight' season 1)
In Arkham one may
hear the voices of Firefly, Scarface and the Ventriloquist and some other
insane guy going "tell me a story, a beautiful story about saws and razors",
aside from the Mad Hatter.
The Fiddler is
revealed to be injured by none other than the Girder who appears later on in
the series.
An establishing shot
seems to place the Question's quarters in an annex of the Watchtower. |

In the solicitation art (unreleased cover), the Question's ensemble is colored grey instead of
blue. |

Review
|
|
Don't let the cover title deceive you. This book has nothing to do with
telling one about the Question and or his origins. However, this is a very
entertaining 'detective' read. The Question remains intact all throughout. |
|
Notable for |
|
- running a whole
book in 'first-person' featuring 'The Question'... |
