Jack Kirby's Fourth World #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Godhood's End," Scott Free and Metron—hidden in plain sight in 1920s Kansas—finally shed their quiet lives when Scott’s use of Apokoliptian tech in a bar forces a reckoning. With a flying car built by Metron ready for the road, the two prepare to leave behind their decade-long disguise and head toward whatever comes next. Written and drawn by John Byrne, with colors by Noelle Giddings and letters by Byrne, this 1997 issue features a striking cover by Walter Simonson.
In "Godhood's End," the Forever People struggle to contain a city-wide frenzy sparked by the Godwave, their efforts undone when the Source Wall collapses. Highfather, desperate to restore balance, unites the ancient deities Zeus, Jove, Odin, and Ares into a single entity—only for Ares’s hidden ambitions to threaten the fragile alliance.
In "Tumbleweeds," Scott Free and Metron—disguised as ordinary settlers in early 20th-century Kansas—find their quiet life unraveling when Scott can't resist using Apokoliptian tech to settle a bar brawl. With their cover blown and a flying car finally ready, Metron signals it's time to leave, but not before the dust kicks up and the next chapter begins.
