(Question I #3, 4) - Question broke into the mayor's mansion and confronted Reverend Hatch. He wasn't sure whether or not he was going to kill the Reverand, but his thoughts were interrupted when Myra burst into the room. Hatch took advantage of his distraction to attack him with a poker, but after a scuffle Hatch was pitched out a window. While Question was recuperating Myra had gotten married to the mayor. He wanted her, and Hatch threatened her daughter Jackie if she didn't agree to wed him. They passed by the mayor, who was in his cups, and still had no idea how Hatch was keeping him in power. He told them he admired Teddy Roosevelt, and thought he gave all his constituents a fair shake. Myra told Question she trusted him because she had no choice, and warned him that Hatch planned to have a bus bombed because the bus line operators weren't cooperating with him. Question foiled the bombing, and vowed to keep going after Hatch. Police under Hatch's employ kidnapped Jackie, putting a gun to a nun's head to keep Vic Sage from interfering. Vic told Aristotle he was determined to put an end to Hatch, not because of anything he felt for Myra, but because he couldn't stand to see the innocent betrayed by authority. The mayor overheard Hatch discussing with his flunkies how he was using Fermin to own Hub City, and the drunken mayor tried to confront him, but was knocked cold by Hatch's man Jackie. When he woke he sped away in his car, but quickly crashed into a tree. The Question saved Jackie, and Hatch perished in a fire at the mayor's mansion.

(Question I #5) - The Hub City government broke down completely, with Fermin giving a rambling speech blaming the communists for burning down his mansion. Order was temporarily restored when the governor called in the military and national guard.

(Question I #7) - With her husband's mind long gone Myra began taking over his responsibilities running the city. Volk, who ran Hub's illegal gambling organizations, was ready to retire and inform on his fellow criminals. Myra arranged for him to meet with Fermin, who said Volk would never give him a square deal like Teddy Roosevelt before he passed out. Volk walked out, and Myra poured the rest of Fermin's bottle over his head for blowing it. She asked Vic to get Volk's story for her, and he wondered why she was assuming responsibility for Hub City. She said she was the only person good enough and smart enough to stop Hub's slide. She admitted she still had feelings for Sage, and she'd been forced to marry Fermin, but she said she still took vows and intended to honor them. Vic, as Question, fought alongside Volk against Volk's gambling partners, who'd found out he was turning against them. In the battle Volk died, along with his competition.

(Question I #8) - Vic's station got a tip about a man who'd been starving his children being carved to death. Investigating further Question found a number of ironic deaths for those who abused people. He asked Myra for any resources she had, and they had a good time retelling all the Hub City jokes making the comedy circuit, deciding it was better to laugh than cry at their desperate situation. Myra found that she actually missed her former lover. Myra still held the reigns while the Mayor was drinking himself to death. The culprit was Dr. Spaulding, who operated as the vigilante the Mikado, and when confronted by Question he committed suicide.

(Question I #12) - Myra met with Vic in an out of the way motel, revealing that she was running for mayor in the next election. She wanted one last fling with Vic, because once she dedicated ehrself to politics she knew she'd be under intense scrutiny. Question investigated the murders of Channing and Bolger, two prominent residents of the exclusive suburban community Parson Acres. Pete Carstairs, who built Parson Acres, was being blackmailed by them because the community had been built on top of industrial waste. Carstairs hired Baby Gun to kill them, but told Question the Acres were unpolluted, eating dirt on the lawn to prove his claim. Tot analyzed soil samples, proving it was contaminated, and Vic reached out to Mtyra to get the government involved. Fermin asked Myra if he should help, and she just told him to keep drinking. Carstairs died of poisoning, and Question found him dead in his house, with Baby Gun present eating ice cream. Carstairs knew Baby was out of control and had poisoned the dessert. He went into shock, and Question decided to attempt to get him medical treatment.

(Question I #19) - Vic Sage reported on the robbery of an armored truck company where the perpetrator used a plastic gun manufactured by the Polys Corporation to evade a metal detector, and noted that Butch Cassidy had also used a Polys gun to break his partner out of custody. Myra’s political adviser introduced her to Alexander Polys, who wanted to open up a factory in Hub City. She was unnerved by the way he talked about plastic as the pinnacle of man’s creation, but was interested in his offer of bringing jobs into the city and contributing $500,000 to her campaign. Myra told Cobb she was unsure of Polys, and wanted to try to dig up some dirt on Dinsmore first to see if that tactic could swing votes her way. She enlisted Vic, who, as the Qyuestion, tailed Dinsmore and heard him bragging to his bodyguards that once he was elected he’d start rounding up minorities and putting them in prison, because he racistly viewed them as undesirables. The Question couldn’t control his rage, knowing that if Dinsmore won the city would be a powderkeg waiting to explode, and revealed himself, brutalizing Dinsmore’s bodyguards. Vic contacted Myra to tell her Dinsmore was as bad as they suspected, but he couldn’t prove anything. Wesley drunkenly stumbled into Myra’s bedroom, insisting she drink with him and getting furious when she refused. Myra sighed and called Cobb, telling him she’d back Polys. Vic was dismayed, and brought up the use of Polys guns in Hub City to dissuade Myra, but she wouldn’t listen. Vic said he was sure there was something dirty about Polys, but she told him to stay out of it. Vic took the matter into his own hands, and located August Lumberg, a taxi driver who’d given a ride to Polys and Butch Cassidy who witnessed Polys selling him the plastic gun he’d used to break out the Sundance Kid.

(Question I #22) - Wesley drunkenly put a gun to his head and got upset when Myra took it away from him, having already forgotten that he was contemplating suicide. Wesley barely remembered the past year, and got more upset when Myra told him he wasn’t up for re-election because she was running. Wesley asked where Reverend Hatch was, and Myra reminded him he died in a fire. Myra’s makeup artist Maurice took it upon himself to start acting as her advisor, and told her to call a press conference completely disavowing her husband. Maurice said he was the perfect campaign adviser because his whole job was built on false promises. Myra asked why he cared so much about her winning, and he replied that as a gay man Dinsmore and his supporters would be happy to see him in a concentration camp or dead. At Myra’s press conference she revealed that after Wesley fell deep into alcoholism she’d been the one running the city behind the scenes. Wesley saw the press conference on TV and was furious with Myra, calling her a communist and cursing her out. He asked if he meant anything to her anymore, and she said once she got elected the first thing she was going to do was to send him to rehab and get him the help he needed for his addiction.

(Question I #23) - On election day Vic uncovered that the new voting machines came pre-loaded with votes, and they were disallowed. Royal hired bikers to intimidate voters, but Question made short work of them. Myra told Maurice she didn't really want to win or lose; if she won she was responsible for one of the shabbiest cities in the country, and if she lost a racist thug would destroy whatever remained of the city. Wesley stumbled in and called her a defeatist, infuriating her. She told him she knew he was sick, but he'd failed as a man and as a mayor, and shirked his responsibilities so he could stay drunk all the time. She told him she couldn't wait to attend his funeral. Wesley shuffled off to his room and grabbed a gun.

(Question I #24) - Myra and Maurice waited for all the votes to be tallied, and waited out the storm in the basement of City Hall with Wesley. Wesley was playing with his gun, and Myra said guns weren’t much use against tornadoes, but he replied that guns had other uses. They survived the storm only to learn that Dinsmore won the election by a single vote, although he was currently missing. Vic went to see Myra to offer her condolences but Maurice told him Myra really needed to be alone at the moment. Vic covered an accident at the riverfront, where a car that had driven into the water during the storm was being dredged up. Inside the car was Dinsmore, who’d drowned. Vic broadcast the story, and because of Hub City laws, if an elected official died before being sworn into office the runner-up would be considered the winner, and Vic congratulated Myra. Vic spoke to Myra, who was having second thoughts. She felt obligated to help Hub City, but wished she could just focus on being a mother and starting up her journalism career again. She wondered what difference it would make in a hundred years who won the election anyway. Vic replied that all they could do was live in the moment and make the most out of the time they had. Myra gave him a kiss goodbye, and said in the future she’d be interested in giving their relationship another go. Myra gave her acceptance speech while Wesley drunkenly told the press that JFK and Martin Luther King had gone too far in their politics, and best served history be being made examples of. Myra talked about ending corruption and rebuilding the city when Wesley pulled his gun and shot her.

(Question I #25) - Wesley said Myra was a bad wife and and godless to boot. KBEL reporter Jerry Thatcher tried to grab him, but Wesley fatally shot him in the head before fleeing in the confusion. Myra was still clinging to life and was rushed to the hospital. Riots broke out across the city and Vic met with Izzy, who said his men were stretched thin. He was currently dealing with a hostage situation where two men who’d robbed a liquor store and shot a cop were holed up in a tenement where they were holding two elderly sisters at gunpoint. Back at home Rodor said he noticed Vic was brooding and seething, which didn’t solve anything. Vic felt guilty about Thatcher’s death because he was supposed to be the one covering Myra’s acceptance speech, but he bowed out because subconscious he was hoping Myra wouldn’t win the election and they’d end up together again. Vic smashed a table in a rage and Tot said he was going to have to pay to replace it. Vic said he needed to be righteous and he needed someone to fight. He changed into the Question and said he was going to hunt Wesley Fermin down, and refused to answer Tot when he asked what he’d do when he found him. Question pulled a list of Wesley’s biggest campaign donators and focused on liquor distributor Willy Sundert. Question fell asleep in the park, dreaming of a monstrous Skell who lived in the hearts of every Hub City resident and had grown to enormous size by feeding off the city. Question woke and snapped, severely beating a number of rioters before getting in a confrontation with police officers and taking a bullet to the leg. KBEL did a report stating that under Hub City’s by-laws after a mayor died or was left incapable of serving the previous incumbent became mayor, meaning Wesley was technically still the boss of Hub city. Question saw Sundert load Wesley into a limo, but was too wounded to stop him. Wesley showed up at Izzy’s hostage situation, saying he was in charge and grabbing an officer’s gun before he started firing at the tenement. The officers were forced to fire when the suspects started shooting back. The suspects were fatally shot, as was Wesley, with some considering him a hero.
