Cosmic Odyssey, Book 4: Death


Cosmic Odyssey (1988-1989) #4A
Darkseid’s contingency plan has gone to pot, as the Anti-Life Equation Entity is just too gosh darn powerful. It’s all up to Batman and Forager, who battle a duo of zombie’s for the fate of the Universe.
Speaking of the Bat, in chapter one, he made a call to someone to keep an eye on Darkseid, because he’s about as trusty as a condom lined with holes. That mystery of who was called was left under wraps until now. Ironically, it’s Batman’s phone call that also results in the universe being spared, because our mystery player has to pull Darkseid’s butt out of the fire.
I loved this entire series. It ended with lots of great emotion. A hero must come to grips with being responsible for an entire planet’s demise- population and all. Another hero will meet his final fate, While a third must come to terms with his prejudices.
A fantastic job by writer, Jim Starlin, and artist, Mike Mignola.

Worth Consuming.

Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
