You never know what you might find in the Dark Multiverse. But it’s fair to say that when Mr. Terrific, Plastic Man and Metamorpho found themselves lost in it, NONE of them expected to find a young woman living atop a monstrous, decomposing creature with nothing but giant spiders to keep her company. Pulled into a portal that the industrialist Simon Stagg had opened to the evil realm, our three superheroes barely had time to make sense of what had happened when they were swarmed by hundreds of giant spiders until the creatures were calmed by Linnya Wazzo, an intangible, yet fully alive, young woman who had apparently been living there on her own for years.

Happy to see another living being, Linnya revealed that she was from the planet Bgztl, where everyone possesses the ability to slip into a “phantom form,” a ghost-like intangible form that prevents them from being harmed. However, since arriving in the Dark Multiverse, she’s been unable to revert back to her solid state.

Linnya seems trustworthy, but is she? After all, she seemed completely oblivious to the fact that she was living near a ship sending out a distress call—a message from someone named Tom Strong. In this exclusive sneak peek at this week’s THE TERRIFICS #2, Linnya shares a bit more about her past, including how she wound up in the Dark Multiverse, while Tom’s message seems to bring more far more questions than it does answers…

THE TERRIFICS #2 by Ivan Reis, Jeff Lemire, Jose Luis, Vicente Cifuentes, Jordi Napolitano and Marcelo Maiolo is in stores this Wednesday.
