  • Holed up in the Arkham family's mansion, Jonah Hex and Doctor Amadeus Arkham wait for the inevitable attack on their lives by the minions of the elite gentleman's club whom they discovered were doubtless responsible for the murders being pinned on the Gotham Butcher. Despite the obvious drive of the rich and powerful to take control of a city's wealth, Arkham is confused as to why they would choose to kill prostitutes and leave messages of fear at the scene. Mention of a 'consecrated affiliation' reminds him of something he once read about: a Religion of Crime whose sacramental text is the Crime Bible. His discovery has little time for fanfare, as a dozen gunmen appear on the horizon and begin laying siege to the mansion. Jonah Hex meets them at the front doorstep, shotgun in hand. Without much effort, Hex kills all but one in a hail of bullets and flames. He forces the remaining gunman to divulge that the Religion of Crime does indeed follow the teaching of the Crime Bible; that they want Gotham City to be their Vatican, using the prostitutes as sacrifices; and their hideout is the big house on the grounds of Blackgate Isle, which is expected to be the future home of a prison. Shooting the dying man, Hex determines that the only way to overcome such wealth and power is to kill them all. Meanwhile, on Blackgate Isle, the men belonging to the Religion of Crime have captured Police Chief John Cromwell, who has evidently refused to join their organization. With the Chief out of the way, Colonel Hammersmith will be able to pursue his career in law enforcement. They believe that they have eliminated the threat that Hex and Arkham pose to them, but they are still wary, knowing of Hex's habit of cheating death. Meanwhile, they will make an example of Cromwell, and show Gotham that it is under control of the followers of Cain. As the members of the Religion of Crime leave the mansion, Hex and Arkham ride up on their horses. They arrive in time to catch Doctor Dupree torturing Cromwell on a rack. Suddenly, Hex is knocked to the ground by a large muscular man. Arkham tries to be heroic, but is easily brushed aside. Doctor Dupree commands his thug bruiser to relieve Mr. Hex of his head.
