"Domination," part 2 of 4.

The town of HELL, Michigan is an evil one. A town that seeks it's own destiny. A town that must rid itself of what it considers an "infestation" of it's citizenry. As our small group of heroes resist the power that has most residence in it's control, the town's newest arrival, Regina Lockridge, shares a vision with the group which arms them with enough knowledge to have a starting point in their battle against the town. The town, however, is well aware of the threat they pose against it, and those few who hunt down the source of this ultimate evil become the hunted in this second issue of the first story arc of HELL, Michigan.
