Darkseid: the embodiment of evil. Dark Lord of the hellish world of Apokolips. The most feared ruler in the galaxy. Galactus: devourer of worlds. Destroyer of civilizations. The most dread force in the universe. After wandering the stars for untold millenia, the unending hunger of Galactus has led him at last to Apokolips, home of Darkseid's scurrilous empire. If Galactus is to survive, he must drain Apokolips of its life force, wiping th eplanet clean of all living things. In his path stands Darkseid, who will stop at nothing to protect his domain. But neither Galactus nor Darkseid fights alone. In Darkseid's corner are hordes of his dog soldier and parademons, as well as his son, Orion of New Genesis, Darkseid's sworn opponent and champion of the Astro-Force. Standing against the forces of Apokolips is the herald of Galactus, the high-flying Silver Surfer, wielder of the power cosmic, driven by dark unknowable forces. When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, which will triumph?
