Orion by Walter Simonson #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first half of Walt Simonson's celebrated run on the 2000-2002 Orion series, which follows Jack Kirby's Fourth World character Orion, the New God of war, as he struggles with his violent nature and his role as a defender of New Genesis against the forces of Apokolips. Simonson both writes and illustrates these stories, bringing his signature dynamic storytelling and cosmic scale to the mythos. The collection reprints issues #1-12 of the series, along with the Orion: The Gates of Apokolips one-shot that served as a prelude to the ongoing title.
Orion by Walter Simonson #1 kicks off with the young warrior hunting down Desaad to a remote Nebraska lab, where he delivers a brutal end—only to be handed the Anti-Life Equation by the cloned consciousness of Billion Dollar Bates. With a chilling display of power, Orion resurrects his foe, proving his dominance in a moment that echoes across the cosmos. On New Genesis, tensions flare as Meteorra stokes conflict with Apokolips, setting the stage for a war that may already be lost. Written and illustrated by Walt Simonson, with colors by Tatjana Wood and letters by John Workman, the cover by Simonson captures the weight of this pivotal moment.
