Universe #7
In Universe #7, written by Paul Jenkins and illustrated by Clayton Crain, Tom finds himself caught in a deadly game when the Devil reveals that Mr. Black’s company, DJM, Inc, has developed weapons for Hell—intended to dismantle the Reciproca Maligna, hell’s stock exchange. As Tom arrives in Hell, he’s ambushed by Mr. Black’s demons, only to realize too late that he’s been tricked. Confronting the Devil, he learns the truth: the weapons were never meant to destroy the exchange, but to inflate the stock price of DJM, Inc—now that the weapons’ effectiveness is proven, the Devil is poised to profit. The cover by Clayton Crain and Jonathan Glapion captures the issue’s dark, high-stakes tension.
