About this Collection

This volume collects the tie-in issues and one-shots that expanded the world of DC's Final Crisis event, including Final Crisis: Requiem, Final Crisis: Resist, and Final Crisis: Secret Files. It provides additional context for the main storyline by focusing on key characters like the Martian Manhunter and the Human Flame, as well as the global resistance against Darkseid's invasion.

"D.O.A.: The God of War!" delivers a high-stakes chapter in the Final Crisis saga, spotlighting Justin Ballantine as he grapples with the immense power he's tapped—power that once drew the attention of the New Gods through Glorious Godfrey, and now again, under Darkseid’s mysterious new design. Written by Len Wein and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Tony Shasteen, the issue pulses with cosmic tension, while J. G. Jones’ striking cover captures the gravity of Ballantine’s escalating role in a war that reaches beyond the stars.
