“Advent of Darkness”

Billed as "1st Issue in a New Era," New Gods #17 (June 1990) plants its flag boldly with a cover by Paris Cullins and Willie Blyberg that puts Darkseid front and center — massive, seated, and radiating a cosmic Omega energy burst from his forehead against a star-filled void, the series' bold triangular logo blazing above him in neon pink and yellow. The cover tagline — "Darkseid Rules… But Not for Long…!" — sets an immediate, delicious tension that frames the "Advent of Darkness" story within. With Evanier and Cullins steering the creative direction, this issue promises a fresh chapter for Jack Kirby's Fourth World mythology.
