In "The Darkseid War Prologue, Part One," Superman and Lex Luthor arrive on Apokolips under mysterious circumstances, drawing the immediate attention of Darkseid—while on Earth, Wonder Woman faces off against Grail before Metron whisking the Justice League to the Rock of Eternity. There, as the League grapples with Metron’s cryptic warnings and the enigmatic power of his chair, Batman’s bold decision to take the seat reshapes their fate. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated with striking precision by Jason Fabok—whose dynamic art defines the cover—this essential edition captures the explosive opening of a war that will test the very essence of the DC Universe.
