Stories

Godhood's End · 17 pages
On Earth, the Forever People attempt to calm a rampaging mob driven wild by the Godwave, but the destruction of the Source Wall leaves them helpless. Meanwhile, Highfather convinces Zeus, Jove, Odin, and Ares to unite with him into one being so that they can repair the Source Wall, but they are betrayed by Ares who has plans of his own.
Tumbleweeds · Tales of the New Gods · 5 pages
Back in the early twentieth century, Scott Free and Metron have spent the last ten years in Kansas, mostly trying to fit in, but Scott is tired of the subterfuge. He openly uses Apokoliptian technology to subdue some troublemakers in a bar, and Metron decides it's time for them to move on, having finished building a flying car for them to travel to another city.
