"IN THE BEGINNING--"

--Or "Highfather was a Badass Pt. 2"...

To further illustrate the profound impact this story had on me as a kid I depicted another scene from The NEW GODS story. I remember finding this issue buried in my brother's box of comics, wedged somewhere beneath Colan's IRON MAN and Buscema's AVENGERS. The cover was missing, so I had absolutely no idea what this was, nor the vast titles it belonged too (we were a MARVEL household, apparently). I thought it looked sort of how I imagined my brother's Micronauts toys would've been illustrated and the stories wherein (obviously I was wrong). All I knew was that I thought IZAYA THE INHERITOR was cool, cool, cool!
