☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis oversized hardcover collects a career-spanning selection of Walter Simonson's work for DC Comics, showcasing his dynamic pencils and inks from the late 1970s through the late 1980s. It features pages from his celebrated runs on 'Manhunter,' 'The Demon,' 'Batman,' and 'The Saga of the Swamp Thing,' along with his iconic 'Thor' work for Marvel, though the focus is on his DC contributions. The volume includes sketches, covers, and behind-the-scenes material, offering a comprehensive look at Simonson's bold, kinetic storytelling style during his peak creative period.
In "Chaos Among the Gods," Herc confronts the truth behind his long imprisonment, uncovering a revelation that reshapes everything he thought he knew about his past. As the mystery deepens, the identity of the Anti-Ares is finally revealed, setting off a chain of consequences that test the limits of faith, power, and destiny.
In "Evil Is in the Eye of the Beholder," former scientist Doc Magnus, still reeling from a brainwashing ordeal under Karnia’s dictator, finds himself confined in a government mental facility. Struggling to reclaim his mind, he’s coerced into building a massive, self-sustaining robot—Plutonium Man—designed to destroy, only to discover too late that the machine is a mirror of his own fractured thoughts, programmed with rage and annihilation.
In "The Chemo Conspiracy," the Metal Men journey to Venice on a mission to recover hidden blackmail money that Doc had stashed during a period of madness—though he now suffers from amnesia and can’t recall entrusting Chemo with its protection. As the team navigates the city’s winding canals and shifting loyalties, they must confront the unexpected challenge of a guardian who remembers far more than they do.
