☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"In Search of a Dream!" presents a foundational moment in the New Gods saga, tracing the origins of the cosmic conflict between New Genesis and Apokolips through the lens of a fragile peace forged by Izaya and Darkseid. Written and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Mike Royer and letters by Royer, this pivotal issue unfolds with the legendary creator’s signature grandeur. The cover by Ryan Sook captures the mythic scale of the story’s opening chapter.
In Search of a Dream! follows the Forever People as they journey from New Genesis to Earth, using a boom tube to seek help from Superman in rescuing their companion, Beautiful Dreamer, who’s been captured by Darkseid. The tyrant, convinced she holds the key to the Anti-Life Equation, has imprisoned her—forcing the Forever People to confront the very forces they’ve long fled.
In "The Pact!", the long-burning conflict between New Genesis and Apokolips is reexamined through the pivotal moment when Izaya and Darkseid forged a fragile truce. Set against the epic scale of the New Gods' war, this story explores the dangerous compromise that briefly halted the bloodshed—without revealing how it came to be or what it truly cost.
