But as Jon will discover, not every hero is willing to put their life on the line for what may well be a suicide mission. This new conflict will unfold in a time when nearly every member of the League is feared dead, leaving the newly minted Superman, Jon Kent, to spearhead a new team. Dark Crisis builds directly on the events of that issue and other recent DC series like Infinite Frontier. It's no coincidence this story is debuting shortly after Williamson chronicles the death of the Justice League in April's Justice League #75. But it’s the dot in space which may hold all the keys to the future and survival of the countless souls far beyond those that inhabit it, the keys to the future of the entire empire.Dark Crisis is written by Joshua Williamson (Batman) and drawn by Daniel Sampere (Action Comics). This is a story about Kar, a small planet showing as less than a dot in the waste and incalculable universe. For that road, covered by orcs and other monsters, is the road of his own redemption, even if it comes at the cost of his own life. In the end it matters little who she is as long as she helps him on his road to prevent the apocalypse of happening. The gift takes a shape of a mysterious woman, but as he gets to know her, he cannot decide for sure if she truly is an instrument of gods, an angel, or a demon, or something much, much worse. Les, an assassin, captured and tortured, thinks he received the gift of life from gods, a second chance. But kings are getting old, and plans are already being made how the transition of power is to take place. The peace that five wise kings had ironed decades ago seems as strong as ever, ready to last for ages still to come.

For him, she is more than he had prayed for. She is divine, a goddess who can save lives at a whim, a devil who kills equally fast with no regret.

When an assassin is captured and tortured, he receives the lifesaving help he could had only prayed for.
