Ordained: The Machine #0

New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78, PLANET DEATH) and powerhouse artist Trevor Hairsine (DCEASED, X-MEN) join forces for an essential new chapter in the ORDAINED mythos with an all-new, bone-crushing special.

When his hired thugs fail to take down Father Roy, crime boss Cormac Byrne calls in the only man he can trust to finish the job -- the ruthless, hulking killer-for-hire known only as THE MACHINE. An unrestrained force of blue-collar brutality, THE MACHINE doesn’t hesitate and he doesn’t stop until the work is done.

Meet the man tasked with cleaning up Byrne’s mess and in this brutal, no-prisoners one-shot and witness how THE MACHINE takes care of his business.
