“O Beautiful for Spacious Skies...”

Orion #1 (2000) kicks off with the young warrior reeling from a shattering truth—his mother has revealed he is not the son of Darkseid, prompting him to journey to Apokolips in search of answers. But when he arrives, he finds Darkseid has already left the planet, now on Earth with Desaad, carrying out a sinister experiment in a quiet Nebraska town. Written and illustrated by Walter Simonson, with additional art by Cliff Chiang and cover by Simonson, this issue sets a powerful, emotionally charged tone with its stark visuals and high-stakes mystery.
