The New Gods. Vol. 01, The Falling SkyThe New Gods. Vol. 01, The Falling Sky

"An old god dies...And a new god is born! Darkseid is dead. With his last breath, the greatest force of tyranny in the cosmos disappeared, and a quiet peace descended across the stars. But as the balance of power in the universe shifts, the Source itself delivers a cryptic prophecy to Metron ... and peace becomes little more than a memory. In the darkest reaches of space, an evil that precedes the stars themselves has awoken, and it is racing toward the Fourth World. On Earth, a child has been gifted tremendous power, and it will bring either salvation or decimation, a gamble Highfather is not willing to make. As oblivion approaches, Orion is tasked with committing the unthinkable -- but he, the child, and existence itself may be saved by the most unexpected thing of all ... a miracle. From visionary creators Ram V and Evan Cagle (Dawnrunner), alongside a collective of legendary guest artists, the New Gods live again -- but the fate of the DC Universe hangs in the balance." -- (back cover)
