SYNOPSIS:
Can the world withstand its first confrontation with a being of god-like proportions?
A Soviet cosmonaut – seemingly imbued with the powers of a god – has taken up residence in the Australian Outback. Some think him to be a savior…while others believe he will usher in a new Communist Age…
Now the rest of the world’s powers must decide for themselves – will the enigmatic DIVINITY offer his hand in friendship or will Earth’s heroes find themselves helpless against the wrath of the divine

COLLECTOR'S NOTES:
This is the highest graded Signature Series copy; one of only two known CGC 9.8 Signature Series copies in the Census (this one, and a second copy which I sold in Feb of 2016) that were signed by writer Matt Kindt at NYCC '15 and submitted by Doug Peters from ComicSketchArt. In 2015 I was contacted by artist Lewis LaRosa and offered the opportunity to purchase his original cover art for this book (for a crazy-low price by the way...).
I declined the offer, and instead focused on several other art pieces he had at the same time. Later in 2015, I contacted the owner of this art offering to buy; however, the owner was not willing to sell at that time.
Artist Lewis LaRosa's original cover art is pictured below.
