Maybe things were way more different than I remember in 1988 because how the fuck does Forager make this cover?
I don't remember all the young dudes hanging out with their souped-up hot rods down at the malt shop while listening to the Big Bopper handing around this comic book saying things like, "Can you believe Forager made the cover of a big time $3.95 fancy lad comic book?! I'm so cranked! Ay, give it back before you get your hair grease all over it, twerp!" And then one of the dudes noticed John Stewart on the cover and, yeesh, I can't repeat what that guy would have said. This isn't Twitter!
Wait a second. Am I older than I thought I was?
You know what else I don't remember? Anything at all about this comic book. It came out in December of 1988 so I was 17 and my mind was definitely on other things. Like Warhammer and Blood Bowl and Axis and Allies. Sometimes I think I was never really a big fan of comic books because I barely remember a lot of them. But then I have also never been much for revisiting things I've already read or seen. Maybe some people think those two statement didn't need the "but" between them since most people who are huge fans of something repeatedly enjoy that thing over and over again. The only comic book series I remember re-reading while they were still being published were Giffen and DeMatteis's Justice League America, John Ostrander's Suicide Squad, and Wendy and Richard Pini's Elfquest (that one, over and over and over again. I was a sappy teenager! (Never mind if I'm a sappy adult!)). I guess, being young and having a healthy memory, I simply assumed that one reading or viewing of any piece of art or media would last me until the day I died. Doing this project where I'm re-reading a lot of my old comic books has proven me quite wrong. My memories of non-tragic or non-sexual events seem to have a shelf life of about 20 years, give or take how much of an impact the piece had on me. Take some of the literature I read in college about 30 years ago. I can't even be sure of every title I read back then, let alone give a synopsis of the novel. Vanity Fair? Wieland? Bleak House? I mean, sure, I remember the spontaneous combustion in Bleak House and Jarndyce v Jarndyce. And didn't Wieland hinge on the fascination with ventriloquism? And Vanity Fair was about, like, a fair of, um, vain, uh, French people?
If my brain's this fully of mushy memories, does it even mean any of it was worth living? Oh wait! All the cats I've lived with! Yeah, they've totally made it worthwhile. Good on them!
This issue begins six months in the story's past where Darkseid has sent a legion of his Dog Soldiers to invade Earth via BOOM Tube. They're met and easily repelled by Superman and Lightray.

Superman looks just like my high school best friend here. Jealous, ladies and gays?
During the Dog Soldier's retreat, one of their radio operators was left behind. I feel really sad for him because he has the word "dog" in his name and he looks so scared and lost now.

If this were a Garth Ennis story, this guy would be lead singer of a famous rock band when the story resumes six months later.
Luckily this poor little dog soldier has been left in Gotham City. If people like Two-Face and The Penguin can make names for themselves running casinos and practicing law despite their deformations, this little guy should find himself living the good life in no time.
Later, if time has any corresponding meaning as the scene shifts to a small planetoid at the edge of Alpha Centauri, Metron exits a BOOM Tube and crashes his chair on the planetoid's surface. He looks like he's been through some serious shit and his chair is fucked. Speaking of Metron's chair, what the fuck was going on with comic book artists and writers when they were coming up with strange alien conveyances through space? A chair? Skis? A surfboard? A motorcycle? I mean, at least Lobo's space hawg is phat cool, ya dig, Daddio? But a fucking chair? Apparently one of Jack Kirby's big dreams was to just sit back in a comfortable recliner and know shit.
Another BOOM Tube opens up and out steps Darkseid and his Chief Science Officers who are all identified by various Roman numerals on their chests and helmets. Was Zeus/Jupiter based on Darkseid during his teenage years where he'd BOOM Tube down to Earth to fuck Greek and Roman chicks? Did he give them the idea for Roman numerals or did he cadge them for himself? Darkseid has been keeping an eye on Metron in the hopes that Metron might find the Anti-Life Equation for Darkseid. Or he's been keeping an eye on Metron because he really fucking wants that big comfy space chair for himself. Based on Darkseid's sudden appearance in people's houses where he's just parked in their recliners as they come through the door, we know Darkseid does love to have a good sit.

Darkseid Is . . . tired of standing.
Darkseid analyzes Metron's chair's data to discover that Metron encountered an existential threat to the universe that he and his Dog Soldiers and his Mantis People and his Granny Armies and his Female Furies won't be enough to stop by themselves. He's going to have to seek help from people he despises: New Gods and Earth heroes and, um, Forager.
Back in Gotham, Commissioner Gordon informs Batman that a cop has recently disappeared on patrol. Only after the cop disappears does Gordon inform Batman that like ten other people have disappeared in the same area. I guess those people were houseless and minorities? Batman decides he needs to go undercover to lure out the kidnapper. So is it Matches Malone time?! Um, no.

I think this counts as a hat on a hat.
Batman, unrecognizable in a fedora and trench coat (I'm assuming this was a hilarious joke that the creative team came up with, having a guy who wears a disguise to hide his secret identity wear a disguise over that disguise to hide his secret identity. I mean, it is funny!), discovers, through the use of his ears, that the person and/or Dog Soldier of Apokolips kidnapping Gothamites has been squatting in the sewers. His ears hear a manhole clink and Batman exclaims, "Of course! Why didn't I think of that?! Half of my rogue's gallery hide out in the sewers!" The fedora and trench coat having served their purpose of, um, keeping people from knowing it was Batman walking around, are ditched in the street so that Batman can continue his investigation without hiding his identity. Batman probably wouldn't have heard the manhole cover fall into place if he hadn't been in disguise because the Dog Soldier would have known better than to peak out of the manhole to see who was walking on the streets above him if he could see it was Batman.
Batman follows the creatures trail realizing he's after a massive humanoid. I appreciate that Jim Starlin made Batman vulnerable in this scene. Far too often, writers simply decide Batman is a stoic tough guy who shows no fear and is incapable of any negative human emotion. But Starlin's Batman could give Kevin Smith's pissing-his-pants Batman a run for his money. He begins to feel a bit nervous when he realizes he's after a gigantic alien creature. And then he stumbles upon the Dog Soldier's victims, slaughtered and hung from hooks, bones and decaying meat strewn about the room. Batman almost throws up as he flees from the scene. He even contemplates going to get back-up rather than confronting the monster himself.

Jim Starlin's Batman is into upskirts.
Before Batman realizes he's doing it, he attacks the Dog Soldier in retaliation for its victims. Batman gets his ass beat pretty handily and realizes he can't beat the creature in a fist fight. So after Batman's head gets dunked upside down in the sewer forcing him to smell shit for the next three weeks, he chooses to do something he rarely ever does and probably wouldn't do if he didn't think there were any witnesses deep down in the Gotham sewers.

The "firearm" is the Dog Soldier's weapon that Batman kicked out of his hands earlier and not some secret gun Batman keeps on him for emergencies like this where he knows there are no witnesses. Don't be absurd!
Batman shoots the Dog Soldier in the chest as it attacks him, felling it with a massive hole in its body. It falls against the wall, mutters, "Darkseid," and dies. I'm not sure if Batman doesn't worry too much about killing it because it was an alien or because Batman's life actually hinged on killing it or because it muttered "Darkseid" after he'd already chosen to kill it. But he doesn't worry about his choice at all. He heads up to find Commissioner Gordon to report what he found and lead the police down to the body and the scene of the murders.

The caterpillar never said that, asshole!
How smart can Batman be if he doesn't even know every single fucking detail of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? Alice says that and she only ever says it once even! Some fucking detective. Plus he's all, "No big deal. I killed that thing. It shouldn't have walked away, dude." I guess Batman's "No Kill" stance only applies to humans? Maybe even just Americans?!
The "curiouser" part of the mystery is that Batman saw Joe Bester's body hanging from a hook earlier and now it seems to be gone. Also maybe Batman's talking about how badly his fills turned out. He should sue whoever gave him those lip injections.
The story nearly catches up to the current date as the following scene begins with "Yesterday". Yesterday, New Genesis residents, Lonar and his horse Thunderer, have arrived on Earth and found their way into the Oval Office presenting themselves as ambassadors from New Genesis. Well, Lonar has, anyway. I just got stuck with third person plural pronouns by adding Thunderer into the whole scene even though he's only mentioned as "a flying horse" by the president. Lonar has demanded to meet with the Earth ambassadors to New Genesis. He understands that Earth probably doesn't have one which is why he brought a list of people he is sort of demanding take the job. The president is all, "How do I get in touch with these people?!" And his staff are all, "Well, we can call Superman. We'll just tell him to bring the others." And so pretty soon, the Oval Office is full of New Gods, super heroes, and horse farts.

If I hadn't already known Etrigan was going to be in this story, I'd be off changing my underwear right now.
I bet I would have gotten laid more often if I didn't insist on yelling, "Gone, gone, form of man! Arise, my penis, Etrigan!", every time I took my pants off around a lady.
The heroes and Lonar BOOM Tube out of the Oval Office, leaving the president to realize just how unimportant he really is. Later he would learn that he would only serve one term and discover how really, really unimportant he was.
Waiting on the other side of the BOOM Tube on New Genesis are Highfather, Orion, and Lightray. Waiting a little bit further back in the shadows is Darkseid. When he steps out to declare that it was his idea to get all these people together, Superman instantly attacks him. And this was immediately following Superman scoffing about Batman being an ambassador! At least Batman didn't put a hole in Darkseid's chest immediately even though we know he could have and wouldn't really hesitate to and maybe would kill everybody else on New Genesis as well being that they're not human and don't fall under the umbrella of his No Kill Policy.

That cheeky grin is killing me.
How come Darkseid looks so short? I always picture him as towering over everybody. But I guess his body is choad-shaped.
In order to explain why Darkseid and Highfather called these heroes for help, Highfather first explains the origins of New Genesis and Apokolips. It seems many billions of years ago, a race existed that thought themselves better and smarter than every other race in the universe. They believed that their shit never stank while everybody's else's shit stank like a phobey cat protecting its phobey young. One group of aliens would not bow down before these smarmy jerks and so war began. The arrogant race of beings eventually came up with a weapon of such destruction that they could easily put an end to the war: the Anti-Life Equation.

Was this race called "Americans"?
Once released, the Anti-Life Equation destroyed the planet it was fired from. It raced across space in all directions, destroying every thing with which it came into contact. But it's reach wasn't infinite. At some point, it turned back in on itself and imploded, leaving a section of the universe cut off from the rest of it. The only thing remaining in this pocket universe were a single sun and two planets, New Genesis and Apokolips. One planet's residences decided not to be assholes and the other planet's residences decided to be the biggest bunch of assholes ever. The end.
That story needed to be told so that Earth's heroes would understand how dangerous the Anti-Life Equation was, if they couldn't figure it out by its name. It appears that Metron had finally discovered it and while tinkering with it, set it in motion! But studying Metron's data from his chair wasn't enough to tell Darkseid how to stop this looming crisis of anti-lifing everything in the universe. He needed help! He needed to delve into Metron's mind! So Batman steps forward and is all, "That's why I'm here, I take it. My uncanny intuition and nearly paranormal detective abilities should enable me to figure out what Metron did and how to stop it." But then Martian Manhunter stepped forward and was all, "Get the fuck out of my way, you idiot."

I chose to edit out the Batman stuff but I assure you it was in there!
I'm surprised Batman didn't rush forward, shove Metron out of the chair, hop in, and ask, "Who is the Joker?!" Then he'd be all, "No way!" And I would be all, "There's no way Batman got the answer. It's just not possible. The Joker's actual identity can never be known for it would ruin his entire metaphoric existence." But then some kid on tumblr would be all, "How dare you say that! Of course Batman got the answer, you stupid old prick! Your a moron!" And then DC revealed that Batman did not learn the name of the Joker but learned that there were three Jokers. Which, actually, is kind of stupid in itself. How did that turn out, by the way? Was The One Who Laughs one of the three? And the usual one was one, obvs. But who was the third then? Was it, um, Batman himself?!
Martian Manhunter reads Metron's mind and projects the thoughts and images to all those around him. They learn of Metron's search for the equation. They learn he found it. They learn that before experimenting with it, Metron flew out to a remote, uninhabited patch of space. He then dug down into another dimension as a cushion for anything that might go wrong. Then, when he entered the equation into his chair, he programmed it so that the energy would not be produced but that he would be transported to the place where the energy came from. And once there, so many dimensions away from Metron's usual reality, he discovered the true secret of the Anti-Life Equation.

It was just, you know, some guy.
Is this story still canon? Was it ever canon or was this later remanded into Elseworld's custody? I really love the idea of the Anti-Life Equation being a dark God of immense power locked away in a secret pocket dimension that can only be found by some curious and evil genius. Sort of like the fifth Chaos God in Warhammer, Malice! Oh man, I shouldn't even mention him just in case Doom Bunny reads this since Malice is a huge part of the Dungeons & Dragons campaign I'm supposed to be working on!
As Metron flees, he tries to close down the portals as he goes to keep Bob the Anti-Life God from following him. He's mostly successful except for the four fingertips of Bob that get cut off as the portals close behind Metron. These four pieces of Anti-Life zip off to who the fuck knows where as Metron loses his fucking mind and crashes on a barren planet to be found later by Darkseid and his Roman Numeral Gang.
Metron's story was the last piece of the puzzle Darkseid needed to understand Bob the Anti-Life God's plan. Bob cannot survive in our Pro-Life (forgive me the phrase!) Universe. But his smaller aspects can survive for a limited amount of time. These aspects need to destabilize and destroy a galaxy to change the conditions enough for Bob to survive in this universe and have a base for conquering the entire thing. To do this, each aspect have flown to a one of four different planets in the Milky Way. These planets are gravitational linchpins holding the Milky Way together. And Darkseid has a bummer of a conclusion for everybody and Forager.

Jason Blood must have fallen asleep. His reaction was just, "Byu byu byu byu."
The four planets in danger are Earth, Rann, Thanagar, and Xanshi. I'm not sure what Xanshi is so my guess is that one winds up getting destroyed for tension's sake! Also, I guess this story is canon because isn't this where John Stewart gets an entire planet killed? If that's from this series then I actually do remember some of this series!
Darkseid puts his plan into motion. Orion and Superman will save Thanagar because Hawkpeople are aggressive and Orion is aggressive and Superman, when he sees Darkseid, is super aggressive. Lightray and Starfire will save Rann because, I don't know, light powers or something? Batman and Forager will save Earth because Darkseid actually hopes Earth gets destroyed. That's why he sends the two people he sees as the weakest links. And he sends Martian Manhunter and John Stewart to fail to save Xanshi which will cause John Stewart to spiral into a really fucking dark place for a really fucking long time.
On Earth, Batman doesn't put Forager in a fedora and trench coat.

So unbelievable. No way even Batman could find a working pay phone in Gotham.
My first guess as to who Batman could be calling to spy on some guy on another world in a pocket dimension in deep space was Madame Xanadu. But Doctor Fate is on the cover of the fourth issue so it's probably him.
Meanwhile on New Genesis, Jason Blood is all, "Why the fuck am I here?" And Darkseid raises a curtain in the back of the room and is all, "Jason Blood! This is your life!"

Ha ha! Etrigan is old!
Cosmic Odyssey: Book One: Discovery Rating: A. I often enjoy songs and know things about the songs and can sing all the lyrics but then not remember who sang it or what album it's on or maybe even what the title of the song is. But I still know the song and it's in my head and I have access to it. I think my knowledge of comic books exists somewhere in that same kind of space. I actually remember a lot more of this book than I realized because I just didn't know that the things within this book that are still in my head were from this book. Which, ultimately, is pretty much okey-dokey with me. I'm not one of those people who needs to know all the details of some shit that I enjoyed. I just enjoy something, come to terms with it in my head, and put it up on a mind-shelf, hopefully within easy reach when I need it. Of course now, in the second half of my life, I've just decided to re-organize my mind shelves, see what was on them, have some good old memories over them, and then, I guess, fucking die? Maybe I'll try to throw in a few new experiences too, just so I don't completely feel like life is mostly over! Like take a strap-on right up the poop chute or take way more LSD than I ever have before! Maybe both at the same time! Man, I can't wait! My best years are still ahead of me!
oh, neat! i just dumped cosmic odyssey 1-4 in a little free library just around the corner from me, along with 'wolverine: enemy of the state', some random issues of warren ellis' 'karnak' miniseries, and a couple duplicates of some continuity comix crap
ReplyDeletecosmic odyssey looked amazing, particularly the colouring, but starlin is the sworn enemy of my attention span. i chucked it because the only mignola i need on my physical shelf is ROCKET RACCOON
