Orion by Walter Simonson #1
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.
