Pick up where you left off with Dark Horse's exciting 16-issue superhero explosion Comics' Greatest World, and find out more about the most mysterious and powerful hero of them all, Vortex!

Also, in the blood and dust-streaked conclusion to "Predator: Blood on Two-Witch Mountain," Enoch's grandfather faces his own devil under the hot desert sun. And don't expect the Predator to lose this time!
