Cover by Walter Simonson. Stories by John Byrne. Art by John Byrne and Ron Wagner & Ray Kryssing.

In “Such Dreams May Come,” Metron and Desaad seek a way to convince the Promethean Giant to take Darkseid’s place on the Source Wall, a task made almost impossible by the giant’s existence on a time line incomprehensible to even the gods! Plus, in part 1 (“The Bargain”) of a 3-part Tales of the New Gods back-up tale, a new element is discovered by the scientists of Apokolips, a metal so precious and powerful that in order to obtain it, Metron is willing to make a deal with Darkseid!
