"Book One: Discovery" from Cosmic Odyssey: The Deluxe Edition (2017) brings together iconic DC heroes in a high-stakes cosmic journey, with Jim Starlin’s writing and Mike Mignola’s striking art shaping a story where Superman and Orion face hostile Hawkmen on Thanagar, while Batman and Forager navigate Earth’s shifting dangers. As Lightray and Starfire join Adam Strange on Rann to hunt the Equation Bomb, J’Onn and John’s mission to Xanshi ends in tragedy due to a Guardian’s hubris—setting the stage for Jason Blood’s transformation into The Demon in a desperate bid to confront the Anti-Life Equation.
In "Book One: Discovery" from Cosmic Odyssey: The Deluxe Edition, Superman, Batman, Starfire, J'onn J'onzz, Green Lantern John Stewart, and Jason Blood are summoned by Highfather of New Genesis to confront the catastrophic threat of the Anti-Life Equation, unleashed by Metron. Split into teams, they race across the cosmos to protect key worlds from collapsing, each mission testing their resolve as the universe hangs in the balance.
In "Book Two: Disaster," Superman and Orion face a hostile sky of Hawkmen on Thanagar, while Batman and Forager navigate Earth’s unraveling chaos. Lightray and Starfire join Adam Strange on Rann in a desperate hunt for the Equation Bomb, and on Xanshi, J’Onn and John confront the devastating fallout of GL’s arrogance—only to see the planet fall to the Anti-Life Bomb. As the universe teeters, Jason Blood embraces his true form, becoming The Demon to stand against the coming darkness.
In "Book Three: Decisions," the cosmic threat of the Anti-Life Aspect escalates as Superman and Lightray stand united against their shared enemy, while Starfire and Lightray find unexpected strength in their alliance. J'Onn and John return from a mission that ended in failure, and Batman and Forager take up the hunt for the Anti-Life Aspect on Earth—just as Darkseid, aided by The Demon, steps into the Anti-Life universe.
In "Book Four: Death," the cosmic fallout of the Anti-Life Equation reaches its breaking point as Dr. Fate works to pull Darkseid and The Demon from the Anti-Life universe. With Earth scarred and hope fading, John Stewart grapples with guilt over a world lost, while Batman and Forager face the Equation’s deadly Aspect—only for Bug to make the ultimate sacrifice to save them all.
