About this Collection

This volume collects the final issues of the 2009 Question series, wrapping up the philosophical and action-packed saga of Renee Montoya as she continues her journey as the faceless vigilante. The story delves into the mysteries surrounding the Church of the Question and the enigmatic Riddler, challenging Montoya's sense of justice and identity. Written by Greg Rucka with art by Cully Hamner, this conclusion ties together threads from the earlier volumes while delivering a noir-tinged resolution.

In "Skells," Dennis O'Neil and Denys Cowan deliver a tense, grounded thriller as Myra tries to unite rival gangs to restore order in Hub City—until a violent betrayal shatters the fragile peace. The Question finds himself tested in more ways than one when Lady Shiva lands a brutal, unexpected blow, turning the streets into a battleground of trust and survival.
