The Final Night

A single-issue DC event from 1998, The Final Night sees the universe plunged into an endless, freezing darkness when a cosmic entity devours the sun. Written by Karl Kesel with art by Stuart Immonen, this starkly atmospheric story forces the entire DC superhero community to confront a hopeless, world-ending crisis without their primary source of light and power. It matters as a tightly focused, character-driven tale that tests the mettle of heroes against an unstoppable, impersonal threat.
