How do you know if you've averted the end of the world or hastened it... unless you just wait for tomorrow? 
Wildstorm: Revelations #6 is an issue of the series Wildstorm: Revelations (Volume 1) with a cover date of May, 2008.
Synopsis for "Fear the Reaper; or, This is the End, Beautiful Friends..."
Kaizen Gamorra forces Nemesis to fight in a battle to the death against Minotaur in which either she wins and walks free with her companions, or if she loses Savant becomes Gamorra's next wife. Meanwhile Jodi is forced to deal with Kaizen's other concubines who prevent her from helping Nemesis. After a fierce battle, Nemesis manages to slay Minotaur. However, Gamorra reneges on his deal and instead Nemesis and Jodi are forced to bargain for Savant's life. Savant reluctantly agrees to do a 'show' for Kaizen and they let him keep the computer they used to hack his system. After the girls leave, Kaizen tells his advisor that the world is going to end and his nation must prepare for it.
The girls return to Nemesis' safehouse where Spartan and Zealot are waiting for their return. Savant reveals to the others that she is able to smuggle the information she got from Gamorra's database after she told Kaizen about Armageddon. With help from Spartan, they learn more about a program called "Number of the Beast" developed by an influential cabal within the U.S. government to capture costumed post-humans and contain them in a bunker. The group decide to find this bunker.
Together with Zealot they find the bunker in western Utah and infiltrate it. Inside, they find a missile holding a caped superhuman. Their presence is discovered by a scientist who set off the bunker's alarm. They then capture the scientist and find a room producing clones and placing them into warheads. Nemesis interrogates the scientist for answers, in which he reveals they are making post-humans into literal weapons of mass destruction. Just as Nemesis demands the scientist on who they are cloning, the scientist is killed by the bunker's automated security. The girls fend off the security drones until one of the drones' particle beams hits the missile propellant causing it to explode and the girls are caught in the blast.
A freed Reaper attacks Nemesis.
Fearing Savant dead after the blast, Zealot accidentally calls Savant 'daughter' thus making Savant aware of the truth. Nemesis tells everyone that they must destroy the bunker to avert Armageddon, in which she plans on doing it herself by flooding the bunker with rocket fuel before setting it on fire while the rest find a way out and a clear signal to teleport themselves out. But just as Nemesis starts flooding the bunker, one of the cloned superhumans has broken free and attacks Nemesis. The two fight while Nemesis tries to get it to reveal what it is designed to kill and who it was made from, but the clone only says "Reap what you sow. Change or die." Nemesis barely kills the clone via decapitation and causes it to release a burst of blinding energy before losing consciousness. Fortunately, Majestic swoops in and saves her - thanks to Spartan calling Majestic for help - before the bunker explodes.
The next day, Nemesis is brought to Majestic's home to recover. Jodi visits a pet turtle shop. Savant is conflicted over Zealot being her mother. However, not all seems well as Nemesis is unsure if anything they did is going to prevent the future she saw as she awakes from her sleep dreaming a vision of countless Reaper clones encircling Earth's orbit.
