“We’re in crash now!”

The no-good double-crossing sci-fi spies of Nighwing’s Night Force are back for a second-helping of the good, the bad and the weird. But the rogue group of rogues is in for an even bigger shock when a visit from the Doom Patrol (crossovers, people!) leads them face-to-face with the the leader of sister group, Meridian! And you’ll never guess who it is. So join us as John Ostrander and Jan Duursema reveal the big bad of the big bad with “Into the Fire!”
