About this Collection
This 2009 collection from DC brings together the four-issue miniseries written and illustrated by Jim Starlin. The story serves as a prequel to the events of Final Crisis, depicting the systematic murder of the New Gods across the Fourth World, with Orion as the first victim. Starlin's cosmic saga explores the unraveling of Jack Kirby's pantheon as a mysterious assassin targets each member of the New Genesis and Apokolips communities.
