Brave and the Bold Vol. 4: Without Sin (2027 Edition)

Unexpected hero team-ups lead to adventure across the DC Universe!

To save the life of a young orphan, Green Lantern and the Phantom Stranger travel across the galaxy to an alien civilization. There they encounter Purge, a legendary psychic parasite bent on eradicating all life in the universe. If the heroes cannot stop the demon, he will move on to Earth—where Green Arrow stands alone, charged with closing Purge's gateway to Earth no matter what the cost—but will the Emerald Archer be able to destroy the nexus when the passageway turns out to be an innocent child?

Plus, Supergirl and Raven must escape the vicious influence of their diabolical fathers in order to save the legacy of a forgotten hero and the soul of his son.
