New Godz
Art by Pasqual Ferry & Dave McCaig
Shilo Norman, Mister Miracle, prepares to perform his most
daring escape yet - from the gravitational pull of a black hole!
During his stunt, all contact is lost and Shilo encounters Metron
in the interior of the event horizon and given a vision of a
war between New Genesis and Apokolips where the forces of Darkseid
had prevailed. Metron informs Shilo that he'll have to choose
between light and dark. Shilo then reappears to the roar of his
audience after 11 seconds of zero contact.
Shilo informs his psychiatrist of this visitation along with
another. At the afterparty for his show, Shilo's friend ZZ tries
to hook him up with some party people, who just happen to be
earthly incarnations of Granny Goodness and the Female Furies.
The psychiatrist is very dissmissive of Shilo's account and gives
the typical "come-back-next-week" goodbye.
Shilo leaves and encounters the new form of Black Racer, an
old man in a wheelchair. Mr. Miracle mistakes him for Metron.
The Black Racer reveals that he's not, but does wager with Metron
from time to time. Black Racer proceeds taunts him, saying Shilo
is too soft and will fail his first trial - the Drive-By Derby!!!

Burn, Witchboy! Burn!
Art by Frazer Irving
The zealous puritan folk of Limbo Town plan to burn Klarion
at the stake for his heretical ideas of a silver city past
the wicker gate and under the blue rafters as Mister Melmoth
invades. During the commotion, Klarion's sister Beulah cuts
his binds and hurries him off to ring the Sabbat Bells nine
times. Just as Melmoth finishes explaining his spawning of
the citizens of Limbo Town, Klarion sounds the bells, awakening
the Grundys to help combat Melmoth's forces. At the bell tower,
Klarion speaks with the newly ressurected Judah, who gives
him a rod to bind himself with his cat Teekl, becoming an aspect
of Horigal.
Melmoth reveals that the Witch-God Croatoan is an artificial
intelligence system composed of a pair of dice. Melmoth makes
his way to the bell tower and finishes off Judah. The Klarion/Teekl
version of Horigal snatches up and devours Melmoth only to
find that He is immortal thanks to the waters of the Cauldron
of Rebirth running through him. Melmoth escapes and his remaining
troops are immolated. Klarion then decides to pursue Melmoth.

Ballistic: How The Bulleteer Began
Art - Yanick Paquette, Michael Bair
Lance Harrower attempts to perfect a metal coating called
Smartskin to turn himself and his wife Alix into superheroes.
The Smartskin bonds to the skin and renders the flesh indestructible.
The Smartskin has effectively been used on a mouse, but has
not been stable enough to cover a person. Meanwhile, Lance
plays to Alix's vanity saying that the Smartskin will help
them obtain immortality and preserve her looks. Alix brushes
off her husband's thoughtless comments and leaves, only to
return later, finding Lance covered in Smartskin and complaining
of difficulty breathing. As Alix phones 911, Lance touches
her hand. The Smartskin makes contact with Alix's body and
spreads over every inch of her. Lance dies as a result, but
Alix survives her transformation. While going through Lance's
belongings, she reads his e-mails from a girl he received through
a superhero fetish website. The horrible things he wrote in
his e-mails hurts Alix so bad that she runs through a wall
into the night in blind fury of emotion. She comes across a
train wreck and saves a few citizens, jump-starting her superhero
career after losing her career working with autistic children.
