In "Showdown," Justice is sent to Duncanville, Texas, to investigate Dennis Foley, a former convict with a paranormal past. As a mob prepares to lynch him, Foley and Tensen devise a daring plan that turns the townspeople’s hatred into awe—only to leave Tensen reeling from a sudden, painful psychic shock when Psi-Hawk is destroyed, a blow that echoes from a battle far away in Washington, D.C. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Mike Gustovich, with colors by Janet Jackson and letters by James Novak, the cover by Lee Weeks captures the tension of the moment.
