The story brings together characters like Dr. Katherine Reynolds, Chan Liuchow, and Charles Blackwater as they confront supernatural threats, including the dragon Fin Fang Foom, while exploring the dark legacy of the Omen.
In "Messenger from the Dead," writer Steve Gerber and artist Whilce Portacio launch a haunting tale where the murder of Charles Blackwater triggers a chain of supernatural events. As occult figures react to his death, a long-buried threat stirs—Fin Fang Foom is resurrected, fulfilling an ancient prophecy tied to a dangerous cult. The cover by Whilce Portacio and Scott Williams captures the eerie tone, setting the stage for a story where knowledge comes at a deadly cost.

Several people with occult knowledge or sensitivity are alerted when Charles Blackwater is killed by Reeve Calder.
