Deity #1

Deity #1 (1998) kicks off with Jamie struggling under the rigid demands of Diamond’s training, caught between discipline and desire. When an assassination attempt shakes the foundation of Ogden’s world, the ancient forces of the Darkness and the Light begin their relentless pursuit of Jamie—setting the stage for a conflict that’s as much about identity as it is about power. Written by Karl Altstaetter and Robert Napton, with art by Altstaetter and inks by Victor Olazaba and Carlos Buelna, the issue’s moody tone is heightened by Brian Buccellato and Derek Bellman’s colors and Tiberius Jones’s sharp lettering, all framed by a striking cover by Altstaetter and Olazaba.
