“EM the Energy Monster!”

In "EM the Energy Monster!", six astronaut scientists return from the brink of extinction to a world reborn, only to find their desperate attempt to repopulate Earth has unforeseen consequences. Within a year, their experimental children have evolved beyond them—both in mind and body—leaving the adults to grapple with the emotional fallout of their own creation. Written by Robin Snyder and Sarah Gregory, with art by Vicatan and colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1982 DC tale explores the fragile line between progress and legacy. The cover, by Joe Kubert, captures the eerie stillness of a world changed.
