About this title: There are a lot of unanswered questions about Vic Sage, like how he spent - or misspent - his youth and how he came to be a journalist in the country's worst city. This novel will solve these mysteries, retell and embellish some old tales and tell a new tale of how Vic, with a bit of help, brought some measure of serenity to a truly dreadful place. From his first meeting with Lady Shiva, where he was almost killed, to training with Richard Dragon, the best martial artist in the world, and how Batman, while threatening his life, also saves him. DC UNIVERSE: HELLTOWN finally provides answers ...

"Props to Dennis O'Neil for writing a novel about the Question. Like all Steve Ditko creations, the Question is a fascinating character--a blank slate in a complicated world. Maybe someday someone brave will also write a Mr. A novel. You never know.
And that makes me wonder: If you were tapped to write a book based on any superhero comic, what would you chose? Lois Lane? Night Nurse? The Doom Patrol? The Inferior 5ive? There are plenty of Batman and Spider-Man novels already. No need to add to the slush pile. Given a choice, I guess I'd write a Kamandi novel. Why not? Even the last boy on Earth needs a little love."
"This is basically a revised, truncated and (in my opinion) inferior retelling of the story found in the DC Comics The Question series by Dennis O'Neil and Denys Rowan which ran for 3 years. There are changes made as far as the timeline and sequence of events leading to Vic Sage becoming The Question. Elements of some of the series major plotlines are found here. But the Vic Sage of this story is nowhere near as interesting. I look at this as sort of an "Elseworlds" retelling of that series where some things parallel and some things differ. I am a huge fan of The Question and this was a good book, but it pales in comparison to the comics series. In the end, I got the impression that O'Neil may have planned for more Question novels but who knows if that will happen."
"This is by far a sad tale... Our hero Charles Victor Szasz, or Vic Sage, or the Question, spends his entire life in an attempt to truly learn who he is. And sadly enough, you find yourself wondering the same as he makes his self sacrificing transformation. And once you've finished, you have to wonder, did he really ever find who he set out to find?"
