Cosmic Odyssey #4

Jan 1989 · DC · 3.50 USD; 4.35 CAD
“Book Four: Death”

In "Book Four: Death," Jim Starlin delivers a haunting chapter of Cosmic Odyssey as Dr. Fate battles to pull Darkseid and The Demon from the Anti-Life universe, while John Stewart faces a crushing personal reckoning after failing to save a world. Mike Mignola’s stark, evocative art—penciled and inked with intense precision—brings grim weight to Batman and Forager’s final stand against the Anti-Life Equation Aspect, where sacrifice is written in every line. The cover by Mignola captures the moment’s grim finality in shadow and silhouette.
