“Lest Night Fall Forever!”

About this Collection

This collection gathers Gerry Conway's run on DC's New Gods, including stories from the late 1970s and early 1980s that continued Jack Kirby's cosmic saga. It features the ongoing struggles of Orion, Lightray, and the denizens of New Genesis against Darkseid and the forces of Apokolips, with Conway adding his own narrative twists to the Fourth World mythos. The volume collects material from issues such as New Gods (1977 series) #12-19 and related tales.

In "Lest Night Fall Forever!", the JLA and JSA attempt a bold Earth-swap during their annual meeting, only to find themselves stranded on New Genesis—where the populace has vanished, leaving behind only Orion, Metron, Mister Miracle, Big Barda, and Oberon. With the fate of both worlds hanging in the balance, this unlikely alliance must journey to Apokolips to confront a terrifying threat: the Injustice Society, resurrecting Darkseid. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Dick Dillin, with inks by Frank McLaughlin, colors by Gene D'Angelo, and letters by Ben Oda, the issue features a cover by Al Milgrom.

When the JLA and JSA plan a new twist to their annual meeting, one group from each team enters its transmatter unit to swap Earths, but both groups end up on New Genesis.
