Destiny's uncanny intuition draws him to Tom Carlson's home on the eve of the election, where he uncovers a vicious frame-up orchestrated by political rival Boss Bragg—a gambling syndicate scheme designed to discredit the reform candidate through fabricated evidence. With Destiny's help, Carlson thwarts the conspiracy and exposes a traitor in his own household, but the mysterious detective must stay focused on the larger corruption threatening the city's future.

Dead Duck Dolan
8 pp · Superhero
Dead Duck Dolan (Commissioner Dolan's father, introduction)

When Commissioner Dolan's rough-around-the-edges father, Dead Duck Dolan, rolls into town from Texas, he's got no patience for the city's crooked politicians—especially their refusal to take down the ruthless Fink Frazer and his mob. As the Commissioner finds himself handcuffed by corruption, Dead Duck joins forces with the Spirit to clean up the Fourth Ward the old-fashioned way. It's a clash of frontier justice and masked vigilantism against a criminal empire that thought it had the system locked down.

Beware the Human Bomb
8 pp · Superhero

Roy Lincoln, the Human Bomb, springs into action when his new terror-detection device alerts him to a scream in the park—only to discover a young man murdered and his fiancée attacked by what witnesses describe as a hideously disfigured monster. As the creature strikes again and again, targeting young lovers under the cover of darkness, Roy and his sidekick Hustace must set a daring trap to catch a killer whose twisted motive runs deeper than simple rage. With his explosive powers and clever detective work, the Human Bomb closes in on a mystery that's far more human—and tragic—than it first appears.

With only a cryptic letter as a clue, Manhunter must outthink a dangerous criminal mastermind before more innocents fall under his spell.
