And it is being haunted by something impossible. BLACKCROSS, a supernatural extension of the PROJECT SUPERPOWERS mythos, is a ghost story about something reaching out from the other side of the night, through the forest and mist of this remote town, to grasp at the hearts of a handful of people who may not find out that they're the targets of a strange killer until it's much, much too late. less

In this issue, something terrible is happening in the quiet Pacific Northwestern town of Blackcross. A man has burned himself to death by the lake, but there's no body.

The alternative history of Blackcross is reaching out through the mist to lay its claws on the real world

Across town, Jeff Dumont has quietly returned from Tibet, even as The American Spirit is circling Blackcross like a raptor... moreRob Benton is in hospital and his secret is about to be revealed.
