But after using the Anti-Life Equation to force Orion to reveal the truth, he learns that Orion is not the killer... his plan was to wait on this distant moon, and then challenge the killer to single combat. As the killer is one of the New Gods, it is a challenge they will not be able to ignore.

But can even Orion, a warrior without peer, stand against the might of the individual who has slaughtered the New Gods of New Genesis and Apokolips alike?
