Lendas do Universo DC: Darkseid #[nn]
This 2017 Brazilian edition from Panini collects John Byrne's iconic run on Darkseid, focusing on the DC Universe's most tyrannical New God. The volume brings together key stories that explore the origins and machinations of Apokolips' ruler, showcasing Byrne's distinctive take on the character during his celebrated tenure at DC Comics.
In "Era uma vez...", 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, the cost is heavy—its return is inevitable. Meanwhile, Shazam! battles Macro-Man, and in a tragic turn, accidentally kills him, leaving Billy devastated and vowing never to wield his powers again.
In "Perdendo a fé," Billy struggles to hold onto his faith in heroism after a personal crisis, even as Darkseid's influence spreads through the world. With Glorious Godfrey—posing as the fiery political figure G. Gordon Godfrey—sparking a public crusade against heroes, and the nation's leader issuing a ban on superhero intervention, Billy's resolve is tested like never before.
In a world where heroes are outlawed and hunted, Robin (Jason Todd) finds himself alone and injured after saving a child, caught in a mob fueled by hate. As the government’s crackdown intensifies and the new Suicide Squad—Task Force "X"—is assembled from the shadows, even the revived Brimstone emerges to confront them, setting a deadly stage for a battle of survival.
In "A hora do caos!", Darkseid's grand design to dismantle Earth's heroes by weaponizing their very legends begins to unfold, with Godfrey—posing as G. Gordon Godfrey—playing a crucial role in the chaos. As the tide turns, the Phantom Stranger watches from the shadows, issuing a grim warning to Darkseid that his scheme is doomed to fail, though he remains powerless to stop it.
In "Lendas da escuridão," Darkseid's Omega Beams seize Clark Kent instead of Superman, leaving the tyrant unimpressed—until he casts Clark among the Hunger Dogs. Though outnumbered, Clark fights to survive and intervenes when a condemned woman faces execution. Meanwhile, in Metropolis, Lois Lane conducts an interview with G. Gordon Godfrey, unaware of the chaos unfolding beyond the city's skyline.
In "Selvagens cães de guerra," as Darkseid’s scheme nears completion, the heroes make a desperate stand against Glorious Godfrey—posing as G. Gordon Godfrey—in a climactic showdown at a massive rally in Washington, D.C. Faced with the worsening odds, Billy makes the hard choice to reclaim his power as Captain Marvel to turn the tide.
In "Finale!", as Glorious Godfrey unleashes a frenzied mob in Washington, D.C. to overwhelm the heroes, Robin (Jason Todd) arrives with a group of young children, forming a human shield that shifts the tide. When Godfrey strikes a child who refuses to move, the mob turns on him, but he fights back with warhounds—only to be undone when he steals Fate's helmet and is consumed by its power. The story unfolds with tense, emotional stakes, as the fate of the city hangs in the balance.
