New Gods #13

Something is erupting back onto the scene in New Gods #13 (1996), as the cover — illustrated by Walter Simonson — bursts with crackling blue energy surrounding a powerful red-clad figure with wild auburn hair, his expression fierce and hands outstretched in raw, unleashed power. A crowd of onlookers rendered in stark black and white recedes behind him, making the bold yellow proclamation "REBIRTH!" feel all the more charged. John Byrne writes and draws the interior story "Night of the Falling Sky," with inks by Bob Wiacek, promising the kind of cosmic drama that makes DC's New Gods mythology so compelling.
