Death of the New Gods #3

Darkseid dominates this striking cover by Jim Starlin and Matt Banning, arms raised in command as a surging horde of shadowy, red-eyed demons swarms the cosmic battlefield around him — a fiery alien script blazing across his chest. Part three of eight in Jim Starlin's Death of the New Gods, "Armageddon Tarantella" promises that the Lord of Apokolips is very much a central force in whatever catastrophe is claiming Jack Kirby's gods. With a demon army at his back and the cosmos crackling behind him, this 2008 miniseries is firing on all cylinders.
