the Death of the New Gods #6 - DC


Well . . the cover says it all. Oh! I'm sorry! There's no words on this picture here. Oops! Anyways it says "Orion Unleashed!". With Metrons help, we kind of know who the "god-killer" is. He's come in contact with this celestial being who was split in 2 eons ago. Now he's trying to re-merge himself, but in order for either half to transcend all the barriers, literally and figuratively, that stand between them, they need to regain the power of the New Gods. They don't see anything wrong with this, because, they were the ones that created them. They just see it as a sacrifice. Meanwhile, Arion has put himself out there as bait, trying to attack, or at least find out the identity of, the killer. But Scott Free, under the influence of the Anti-Life Equation, is convinced that Orion is the killer. But that's because of traces of astro force that the Commander and Himon found on Takion. But luckily, Superman is with him. He calms him down enough to realize he can get the truth out of him with the equation's help. That's when he comes to realize that Orion, truly, is not the killer. Superman attempts to watch from a distance, as Arion tries to call out the killer. But as the killer approaches, and Arion goes to meet him. But, their final confrontation is so powerful that it causes a blinding flash of light that temporarily blinds Superman. But they do find his helmet floating in space. Scott wants to go to the source wall to honor his fallen brother, and that's when he and Superman discover the second wall. But they don't have to much time for speculation, because, that's when Himon comes up on them. I really don't think that Himon is the killer, but the other half of the cosmic entity has taken his form. At least that's what I think. All I can say is . . . Jim Starlin is a genius. It's going to be sad to see the last of these heroes fall, but at the same time we're going to be at the beginnings of a new world. I believe that's going to be done by Jim too, so . . I really can't wait to see what his imagination can bring about. I haven't seen any previews yet, so I'm not sure what to expect. It should be incredible.
