• Like a thunderbolt from heaven, the epic first chapter of JonathanHickman’s God is Dead is here! Mankind has argued over theexistence of gods since the dawn of time. In modern eras it’s beenfashionable to mock religious believers with taunts of scientific testimony andfact. But when the gods of old begin to reappear on earth and claim the domainof man for their own, the world is thrown into a state of utter anarchy. NowHorus walks the streets of Egypt, Zeus has taken over the Sistine Chapel, andOdin is coordinating the dissection of the earth among the returned deities.Mankind held sway over the world for thousands of years and their hubris overthat time has made them powerful, but when faced with the divine, can mortalweapons put an end to the second coming of the gods? After the missiles fly andthe tanks roll, the gods still remain. As the world tumbles toward apocalypse, agroup of scientists seek to do the impossible...give birth to the gods ofscience. As the greedy deities battle for absolute rule over the material world,a new divinity arises and the world will tremble beneath the war of thegods!
