“Crimes of Violence”

The Spectre looms large on Tom Mandrake's cover — a hooded, caped figure crackling with supernatural energy against a massive backdrop of skulls, radiating the brooding dread that makes DC's Spirit of Vengeance so compelling. This 2014 collection, subtitled Crimes and Judgements, gathers John Ostrander and Mandrake's acclaimed run under the story banner "Crimes of Violence," showcasing a creative team that understood how to make divine wrath feel genuinely unsettling. If you're looking for superhero storytelling with real moral weight, this first volume is a strong place to start.

Amy tells the press that the Reaver targets women with the HIV virus, which gets Nate Kane suspended from the police force.

The Spectre sends Dennis to the afterlife, but Azmodus warns Spectre that Dennis is just one of his many pawns. The Reaver claims another victim and chooses Amy as his next one.
