I'm not really interested in purchasing every appearance this time through, like I do most events...I'll just gather all the official minis, the couple one shots and of course my ongoings. Oh, and I'll probably grab multiple covers. I love that shit.
It's from Final Crisis #1, the colored version of the picture that appeared months ago with Metron standing in front of Anthro.
As for the picture, I love it. It has a 'Gods' feel to it. It feels epic, just as I think this whole event will be.
Spoiler:
It opens with Metron meeting Anthro, telling him not to be afraid and giving him knowledge of fire which he apparently uses to free his village of attackers.Then it switches to Turpin, meeting Orion, who tells him that heaven was cracked and broken, and that they did not die and that 'he' is in all of you. He then dies. The Black Racer is seen in the background.
John and Hal recive the signal to investigate and find Orion dead. The Guardians afterwards seal the Earth and tell them to interrogate all potential suspects.
Turpin investigates the dissapearance of 6 kids and the Question gives him a lead, a place called 'Dark Side Club'. He goes there and confronts Darkseid, who reveals that he won the war in heaven, and that he enslaved the kids using the anti-life.
Mirror Master and Dr Light team-up, defeat a bunch of kids and get Metron's chair at Libra's request. Meanwhile, Libra tries to recruit villains such as Luthor, and as a demonstration of the advantages of following him are, he kills Martian Manhunter, with all of them watching.
The Justice League, upon finding out about the presence of New Gods, decide to try and find them before they strike.
Monitor Nix Uotan (Earth 51) is exiled due to failing to complete his duties and Weeja Dell discovers that now the Monitors can also feel emotions due to contact with other organisms. The Multiverse machine is also revealed.
A blonde kid (Lightray ?) rushes twoards Anthro, telling him he needs the weapons Metrong gave him against the Gods.
The last page is with a guy waking up, apparently shocked of the body he's in while at the news, Green Arrow swears revenge on those who killed Martian Manhunter.
