Rapture (Top Cow)
Rapture was an artifact that featured in Top Cow comics.
History
The Rapture was one of thirteen legendary artifacts that existed in the world with it serving as a gateway between Earth and Hell. It was known to possess the potential of giving hope or taking it away with the former giving those in Hell the power to escape that dimension. Furthermore, it was stated that those who looked through the Rapture were capable of seeing the true nature of things but it required a human host in order to work.
It was first found by Horace Grimes who was a mathematician that lived in 1901 and was looking for a theoretical formula that would allow him to gain entry to the fifth dimension. He attempted to wear the Rapture though was not chosen for it which led to it killing him in the process. A century later, it was received by Tom Judge who discovered it by accident when he picked it up after hearing whispers from the artifact. When he met Tilly Grimes, she convinced him to wear it and he was transformed whereupon he was explained about the Raptures role in Heaven as well as Hell by the devil Nick. After being sent to hell, Judge met with Jackie Estacado and gave him hope to return to Earth. Following that, Tom Judge used the Rapture to complete personal tasks as well as missions from the devil. He was later asked to choose a successor to hell and he chose the Conductor but when he turned over the Rapture, they were transported back to Earth.
