    Who is the new Doctor Fate? You witnessed the death of the original Dr. Fate and the birth of his new incarnation in the 1987 mini-series, but many questions were left unanswered...until now.

In addition, his household has run amok, pitting Fate against more than average domestic problems. They are situations he had best learn to deal with fast as the war between the Lords of Order and Lords of Chaos escalates, with Fate caught in the middle. DOCTOR FATE is an ongoing monthly series in the New Format, written by J.M. DeMatteis (writer of the 1987 Dr. Fate mini-series), and features the art of Shawn McManus and Mark McKenna. Painted cover by McManus. Cover price $1.25.
