Fan-favorite writer Keith Giffen (52) joins the acclaimed art team of Chris Sprouse & Karl Story to form the explosive new regular creative team of MIDNIGHTER! The Midnighter is the most self-assured member of The Authority; he’s been called the world’s best killing machine, and he knows what his job is and how to do it. He’s never had any doubt about his chosen vocation…until now.
SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT!
Synopsis
In Los Angeles, the Midnighter attempts to stop a young woman from committing suicide. She is terrified of him however and claims that he has "killed God". She then pitches herself from a window onto the street below. He then returns to his Los Angeles apartment, where he finds his daughter Jenny waiting for him. Jenny gives him a StormWatch disk that has encrypted files, which include details on the Midnighter's life prior to assuming his current alias. Midnighter brings the disk to a computer hacker named Chester and convinces him use the information to create an identity for himself. When Chester completes his task, he asks why the Midnighter chose him for the job. Midnighter tells him that he required someone expendable, then reveals that he knows about Chester's history with prepubescent girls. As Chester tries to defend his actions, the Midnighter snaps his neck.
Meanwhile, in the town of Harmony, Indiana, a man named Bellwether walks down the street. His face is featureless but for the colorful markings of the United States flag. People give him a wide berth as he walks down the street. A woman passes by him. She too has no face but for the stars and bars of the flag. Later, an older man with similar features notices a tattered American flag hanging over a grocery. He goes inside and kills the stock boy responsible for displaying "damaged goods".
The Midnighter changes out his costume for civilian attire and inspects his new Indiana driver's license. The name on the license is Lucas Trent. He hitches a ride to Harmony, Indiana – "Gateway to the Heartland".
