Stories

Crisis on Apokolips or Darkseid Rising! · 25 pages
The three teams free the gods of New Genesis and regroup, but apparently not in time as the Re-Creation Machine fires. However, due to Metron's interferance, it fires not at its intended target Apokolips, but at Darkseid himself, reducing him to atoms once again.

Publisher’s description

Can the united forces of the JLA, JSA and New Gods beat back the tide of Darkseid? Or will the dark god's evil wash over all of creation? Find out in the epic conclusion of the annual team-up!
