Justice League #40

In "Darkseid War, Prologue," Metron reflects on the fragile balance between New Genesis and Apokolips, recalling a past where the Anti-Monitor shattered the multiverse and reshaped reality. Now, with time reborn and the multiverse reassembled, the Anti-Monitor has resurfaced—driven by a convergence of timelines and a shocking new alliance—threatening to plunge the cosmos into war once more. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by a rotating team of legendary artists including Kevin Maguire, Phil Jimenez, and Jason Fabok, this pivotal issue sets the stage with a cosmic scale and a haunting sense of inevitability. The cover by Jason Fabok captures the moment’s weight in stark, striking detail.
