“Let Slip the Dogs of War!”

In "Let Slip the Dogs of War!", the fate of the heroes hangs in the balance as Darkseid’s scheme nears completion, and Glorious Godfrey—posing as G. Gordon Godfrey—unleashes a massive rally in Washington, D.C., to crush them once and for all. With the stakes higher than ever, Billy makes the desperate choice to reclaim the mantle of Captain Marvel, stepping forward when hope seems lost. Written by John Ostrander and Len Wein, with dynamic art by John Byrne and bold inks by Karl Kesel, this pivotal issue delivers a charged showdown that redefines the cost of heroism. The cover, also by Byrne, captures the moment’s intensity with striking precision.
