The Vigilante #2
In "Guilt!", Marv Wolfman and Keith Pollard deliver a powerful, character-driven story that dives into the cost of justice when it’s built on flawed assumptions. When the Vigilante, Adrian Chase, discovers that a man he helped imprison was wrongfully convicted, the weight of his mistake forces him to abandon his vigilante ways—only to confront the deeper question of what justice really means. Keith Pollard’s intense artwork, brought to life by Pablo Marcos’ inks and Anthony Tollin’s colors, captures the emotional toll of a man grappling with his past, while Todd Klein’s lettering grounds the story in its raw, personal stakes.

A man that Chase sent to prison while he was district attorney for raping and beating a nun is exonerated and freed after only a few years of hard time. After Vigilante tracks him down, beats him senseless and wrecks his mother's home, he learns that Kord was, indeed, innocent of the crime. Disgusted by his error in judgment, Adrian gives up being the Vigilante and goes to work for his father's law firm. After only a short time of being expected to get real criminals off the hook, however, he changes his mind and decides to return to his former mission.
