Futures End #8 (2014) escalates the tension in DC’s dark and mysterious look at what might lie ahead for the DC Universe. Crafted by the powerhouse writing team of Brian Azzarello, Keith Giffen, Dan Jurgens, and Jeff Lemire, this weekly series continues to unravel a timeline where the future is far from bright—and heroes must face haunting consequences of their past decisions.

In this issue, the pieces on the board shift yet again. Grifter’s mission grows more perilous as his hunt for alien infiltrators leads to a deadly revelation. Meanwhile, Mr. Terrific inches closer to unveiling his controversial tech, and Batman Beyond (Terry McGinnis) digs deeper into the conspiracy that could upend the timeline. As these seemingly separate stories begin to connect, the scale of what's at stake becomes increasingly apparent.

The visuals by Patrick Zircher and Aaron Lopresti maintain a gritty, cinematic quality that perfectly suits the story’s darker tone. Their clean, expressive line work helps carry the weight of a complex narrative that’s as much about internal conflict as it is about external threats.

Futures End #8 is a compelling chapter in a series that dares to question the destiny of the DC Universe. If you’re collecting the full run or diving into the bigger mysteries of the New 52 continuity, this issue is essential.
