Destiny: A Chronicle of Deaths Foretold

From its single 2000 issue, Destiny: A Chronicle of Deaths Foretold stands as a hauntingly poetic DC Comics meditation on fate, mortality, and the weight of prophecy. Written by Alisa Kwitney and painted by Kent Williams and Michael Zulli, this standalone graphic novel follows the enigmatic Endless known as Destiny as he observes the interconnected lives of mortals whose futures he has already recorded. Its lush, painterly art and literary sensibility make it a quiet gem of the Vertigo era—a thoughtful, visually arresting exploration of how knowing one’s end shapes the journey there.
