ORDINARY GODS (2021)

For fans of THE OLD GUARD and GOD COUNTRY comes the extra-length first issue of a centuries-spanning action epic from writer KYLE HIGGINS (RADIANT BLACK) and artist FELIPE WATANABE (The Flash)! The Luminary. The Prodigy. The Brute. The Trickster. The Innovator. Five gods from a realm beyond our own, leaders in the "War of Immortals." Aleast, they were - before they were trapped, sent to a planet made into a prison, forced into an endless cycle of human death and reincarnation. Christopher is 22. He's got two loving parents and a 12-year-old sister. He works at a paint store. He's in therapy. He's one of the Five. Which means, in order to save everyone he cares about, Christopher will have to reconnect with his past lives and do the unthinkable: become a god again.

"Do you remember the tower? The snow?" Twenty-four hours ago, Christopher Becker was living a perfectly normal life. Today, plucked from his home, his old life in ruins, he'll learn the incontrovertible truth about the world and his place in it. And then he'll remember the tower.

Paris! City of Light! The awakened gods are on the hunt for the Trickster-but how do you find one person in a city of millions? And they'll need to hurry-because on the Plane of the Gods, those who remain are starting to move against them.

In Paris, the search for the Trickster continues. The awakened gods are closer than they've ever been to reuniting the Five - but what if the Trickster finds them first?

With four of the Five awakened, all eyes turn to the final piece of the puzzle. But who is the Prodigy? Where in the world are they? And who will get to them first?

But with thousands of lifetimes rushing back to them, can they agree on anything long enough to get started? And what are their enemies planning on the other side of the world?

Once, long ago, she was a polymath of the High Renaissance - a painter, an engineer, an architect.Today, she's an Australian Shepherd, and a very good girl. But the Awakened are in trouble, trapped and betrayed by one of their own. Can Gracie get them out of it? Or will this be their last supper?

There are two discs that will end the world. One is in the hands of the Awakened. The other is in Shanghai - but it won't be for long, as the Awakened and the last of the Honor Guard both race to be the first to claim it!

At the fin de siecle, young Ioseb talks to a past life about life, death, and power. Twelve decades later, the gang attempts to stop another cycle as they learn the location of the God Machine-and Christopher will decide if he's a compassionate or vengeful God.
