Legends 30th Anniversary Edition #[nn]

In "Once Upon a Time...!", Darkseid unleashes the monstrous Brimstone to crush Earth’s heroes, overwhelming the Justice League led by Martian Manhunter. While Firestorm absorbs the creature’s power to hold it at bay, Shazam battles Macro-Man—only to accidentally kill him, leaving Billy in shock and vowing never to wield his powers again.

In "Breach of Faith!", Billy struggles to uphold his vow to reject his powers after the fallout of last issue, while Darkseid manipulates events through Glorious Godfrey—posing as the fiery political activist G. Gordon Godfrey—to turn public opinion against the heroes. With Macro-Man's apparent death as the spark, President Reagan, swayed by Godfrey’s rhetoric, issues an executive order banning heroes from acting, setting the stage for a crisis of faith and identity.

In a world where heroes are outlawed and hunted, Jason Todd finds himself hunted not just by the mob but by a government that sees all costumed vigilantes as threats. As the Suicide Squad—Task Force "X"—rises from the shadows, even the revived Brimstone steps into a new war, facing a brutal test of loyalty and survival.

In "Cry Havoc...!", Darkseid's scheme to dismantle Earth's heroes by weaponizing their legends is unfolding with terrifying precision, amplified by G. Gordon Godfrey's manipulative influence. As the Phantom Stranger watches from the shadows, he delivers a grim warning to Darkseid—though he remains powerless to stop the unraveling.

In the shadow of Darksied’s growing threat, the heroes make their final stand against Glorious Godfrey—now operating as G. Gordon Godfrey—in a tense showdown at a massive rally in Washington, D.C. As the city braces for chaos, Billy faces a turning point, knowing he must reclaim his power as Captain Marvel to help turn the tide.

In "Finale!" from the Legends 30th Anniversary Edition, Glorious Godfrey launches a final, chaotic assault on heroes in Washington, D.C., rallying a frenzied mob against them. When Robin (Jason Todd) arrives with a group of young children, their presence shifts the tide—especially when Godfrey's harsh reaction to a defiant child ignites the mob's fury against him. As warhounds tear through the chaos and the heroes fight to protect the innocents, Godfrey's attempt to seize Fate's helmet backfires, unraveling Darkseid's grand design.
