| Synopsis | Earth's heroes can no longer rely upon their super-powers at a time when they are needed most - as the planet is threatened both by a wave of unknown and unimaginable powerful energy and an armada of alien warships encircling the globe. But Highfather, leader of the New Gods of New Genesis, has sought out the answers to these threats... and has learned that what lies ahead could mean doom not only for Earth, but for the universe itself! And the only salvation for all reality lies within the Source of all things... and the evil of Darkseid! [per next issue box] |
