CURSED DAWN

The dark, the unknown and at the edge of sanity!

JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #49
Plotted by EXCITER
Written by ROBERT KIRKMAN
Art by MATTEO SCALERA
“OCEANS OF BLOOD” part four “HIGH WATER MARK”
The ocean runs red! Poseidon, Greek God of the Sea, conquered Hell and has finally set his menacing sights upon the Earth! If he and his unfathomably gigantic pet, the biblical Leviathan, make it through the demonic portal formed within the black waters of the River Styx that acts as a gateway to the Atlantic Ocean... then there will be no stopping them.
Aquaman and Wonder Woman, a lord of the ocean and a Greek goddess, must confront Poseidon - who possesses all their abilities and more. The Demon Etrigan and Lobo must stand in the path of Leviathan, the largest sea monster in the universe. They have no other options but to hold the line... and hope.
Damian Wayne has found the source of the Greek God’s madness - a corrupted artificial Lazarus Pit created by his grandfather R’as Al Ghul. With the help of Dr. Fate, the young Robin can channel a spell to purify the taint and cure Poseidon’s insanity. But that takes time - and time is what the Earth doesn’t have! With only Azrael to defend him from the zealots of the Shoal Poseidous cult, can the boy wonder save the world from a wrathful deity?

SPAWN #18
Plotted by EXCITER
Written by SCOTT SNYDER
Art by TODD MCFARLANE
“RECKONING DAY”
Jason Wynn is worried. Years ago, he had Al Simmons killed as part of a bargain with Hell... a bargain that had heretofore paid significant dividends. After all, he’d successfully risen to the directorship of the legendary Blackhawks paramilitary force. He had wealth, power, and, most importantly, he had infernal protection so that he didn’t have to worry about retaliation. But now his demonic partner the Violator is dead and the dark lord Malebolgia has gone incommunicado. Jason Wynn is alone... and Spawn is coming for him!
Yet as they say, an animal is most dangerous when cornered. Wynn has turned Blackhawk Island into an “undeath” trap. It boasts a nigh-impregnable stronghold with mystical defenses, hundreds of highly trained elite soldiers experienced in combating supernatural threats, and custom-made anti-hellspawn weapons that Wynn commissioned months ago after Spawn’s first failed assassination attempt (see SPAWN #7). He’s ready. You want some, Al Simmons, you filthy decrepit ghoul? Come get some!

THE BATMAN WITHOUT FEAR #2***NEW SERIES***
Plotted by EXCITER
Written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON
Art by JOCK
“REBORN IN DARKNESS”
Once, on another world, he was the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. That world is gone. Now Matt Murdock finds himself confronted with a new reality and in a new city that is even more desperate for a defender than his old neighborhood...
Bruce Wayne has expanded his focus internationally, but Gotham City must always have a dark knight. To that end, Matt Murdock has been recruited to assume two new identities. By day, he shall leverage his litigation skills as part of Dawes & Murdock, LLP - a newly created boutique law firm, fully funded by Wayne Enterprises and dedicated to representing those the system would otherwise mercilessly chew up and spit out. By night, he shall become a bat. Blind and with an echolocative radar sense, he is perhaps more suited to the role than any to have previously donned the cowl. With resources at his disposal that he never before imaged, the Devil has been reborn as the hero that Gotham needs... the Batman without fear!
Yet not everyone is pleased to see this new Batman on the streets. The corpulent gangster Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, better known as the Penguin, sees him as a threat to an expanding criminal empire. The murderous antihero Vigilante questions whether his non-lethal methods are adequate. And the obsessive Dr. Jonathan Crane sees him as the ultimate challenge - for the Scarecrow must prove that there is no such thing as a man without fear!

Script by R. A. SALVATORE
Art by JEROME OPEÑA
•Notre-Dame de Paris' fiery destruction may have been a good thing for the dozens of gargoyles formerly bound to defend it.
•Frozen in place by a magic spell for almost a thousand years, the grotesque former guardians wreak as much havoc as they can before the fall of night traps them in invulnerable stone for twelve hours. With their touch petrifying humans instantly and possibly permanently, they're spreading the torment!
•The Sentinels discover that teleportation doesn't work on them, magical barriers can't resist the gargoyles' claws, and the bile they spew melts anything it touches!
•Perhaps KID ETERNITY can temporarily resurrect the only people able to destroy invulnerable stone: the original cathedral stone masons!

Written by CULLEN BUNN
Art by JORGE JIMÉNEZ
•No hunger. No disease. No war. Welcome to Earth. A new Earth, an Elseworld where the surviving billions remember nothing of the horrors they endured to get here, no memory of the Earth Before.
•No men leaping tall buildings in a single bound. No women flying invisible jets. No monthly alien invasions. No Hell below, above only sky.
•United Nations Secretary General CALVIN ELLIS nears the end of his term in office content that he's done all he can to maintain the peace and happiness of humanity. He retires to his official residence, enters his private study, and dons a garish blue and red outfit whose significance is known only to him.
•He is Kryptonian, not human, and CAL EL has only been allowed to stay this long to ensure that the migration and integration were successful. Earth is safe, and he will soon leave it to travel the stars with the others whose origins are not terrestrial. Others guard this planet now but somewhere else may have need of a JUSTICE LEAGUE!

Plot by NX01A
Written by WARREN ELLIS
Art by BILL SIENKIEWICZ
•Most of the gods and monsters and other realms associated with the now gone Earth begin to wither and die, accepting their humanity-less fate in the fugue of DESPAIR and DEATH. This was the only merciful gift the gray ENDLESS could provide for those who needed people to survive.
•The PRESENCE seems unmoved by humanity's migration to Elseworld. Perhaps He and His angels are with them even there. Or perhaps He doesn't care one way or the other.
•There still remains the conundrum of STARWOMAN and HOURMAN who claim to be from a future New Earth but Elseworld's overlords banned all exotic technology, magic, and everything else not 'normal'. What does the future hold for BLACK MARVEL, SANDMAN, MR. TERRIFIC, NUBIA, HAWKWOMAN, and DOCTOR FATE? They have no place on Elseworld. Will they accept the time travelers' offer to join them a thousand years in the future?
•They may have no place on this planet now but somewhen else may have need of a JUSTICE SOCIETY!
