Teaming up with a ragtag group of surviving heroes, Grifter scours for a way to return home, with the creative team taking full advantage of the alternate universe premise to punctuate the story with the deaths of major characters native to this world to heighten the stakes. Investigating what exactly the Halo Corporation is up to, Grifter confronts the otherworldly Void and appears to be killed in the ensuing blast, only to be transported to different realities before landing in a devastated iteration of the DCU.
