CAPTION: AFTER AN ETERNITY OF DEBATE, THE WAR FINALLY TOOK ON A PHYSICAL NATURE.
Page 1, Panel 5
A castle, unlike any castle seen before. Its beauty is unimaginable. Made of white marble, floating in the cosmos.
CAPTION: FROM THAT POINT ON, THE NATURE OF THE WAR WOULD CHANGE….
A hallway, two men walk down it dressed in white ankle length robes, wings at rest behind them. The two men are Lucifer, one of Heaven’s lieutenants and Michael, Captain of Heaven’s armies.
MICHAEL: THERE’S NO WAY YOU CAN SUCCEED. FATHER KNOWS WHAT YOU’RE UP TO.
LUCIFER: I MUST SUCCEED MICHAEL, I MUST! THINGS CAN’T GO ON THE WAY THEY HAVE FOR MILLENNIA.
Page 2, Panel 2
Same hallway, same men. Now they face each other.
LUCIFER: MY PLAN INSURES SUCCESS! MY PLAN MEANS A NEW WAY OF DOING THINGS. CAN’T YOU SEE THAT?
Page 2, Panel 3
Same hallway, but now Michael walks away in disgust.
MICHAEL: I WON’T FOLLOW YOU LUCIFER, NOR WILL MY ARMY. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.
Page 2, Panel 4
We see Michael, away from the confrontation with Lucifer and sitting down. Tears fall down his face.
MICHAEL: O, HOW FALLEN FROM HEAVEN ARE YOU, LUCIFER. A MORNING STAR, SON OF DAWN! YOU DID SAY IN YOUR HEART “I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN AND ABOVE THE PLANETS OF THE GOD WILL I RAISE MY THRONE.”
Heaven. That Paradise sought by so many is now engulfed in war. At the Vanguard is Michael, dressed in his armor, with all his brightness and glory. Behind him is the Host of Heaven. Before him, kneeling on the ground, is Lucifer, in chains.
MICHAEL: LUCIFER, YOU HAVE LOST. YOUR ARMY IS DEFEATED, AND YOU ARE IN CHAINS. DO YOU YIELD!?!
Page 3, Panel 2
A close up of Lucifer. Gone is the fairness that described him earlier. Now he is full of hate and envy. He spits on the ground.
LUCIFER: TAKE ME BEFORE YOUR GOD AND HAVE THIS MOCKERY DONE WITH!
Page 3, Panel 3
We are now in a throne room. A powerful, commanding figure lies seated in the throne. His brightness and glory is beyond description. Here truly is the Lord of Creation. Before him in chains, is Lucifer, head bowed.
GOD: MY SON, HOW FAR YOU HAVE FALLEN…. TO THINK THAT AT ONE TIME YOU WERE ONE OF OUR GREATEST HOPES. NOW YOU ARE ONE OF OUR GREATEST TRAGEDIES.
Same scene, but smaller. Now Lucifer raises his head.
LUCIFER: I ONLY DO THAT WHICH I FEEL IS RIGHT. YOU VALUE AGENCY, AND YET I AM PUT IN CHAINS FOR DISAGREEING WITH YOU!
Page 4, Panel 2
Close up of the man in the throne.
GOD: YES I VALUE CHOICE, I HAVE ALSO TAUGHT YOU THAT ALL CHOICES ARE ACCOMPANIED BY CONSEQUENCES. YOU ARE FALLEN LUCIFER AND MAY NOT ABIDE IN MY PRESENCE ANY LONGER.
Page 4, Panel 3
A view of the entire throne room. For the first time we see others in chains behind Lucifer, also kneeling on the floor. The man in the throne has his arms outstretched, giving command.
GOD: FROM THIS DAY FORWARD AND INTO ETERNITY, LUCIFER AND HIS MINIONS ARE BANISHED FROM HEAVEN. ALL CONTACT WITH THEM IS FORBIDDEN AND THEY SHALL NEVER SET FOOT INTO THE BLESSED REALM AGAIN.
Page 4, Panel 4
Same room, close up of God.
GOD: I ALSO STRIP FROM LUCIFER ALL RIGHT, DOMIONS, AND POWERS. FROM THIS DAY HENCE HE SHALL BE KNOWN AS SATAN, FOR HE IS NO LONGER SON OF THE MORNING. TO THE VOID YOU SHALL GO, SATAN, OUTER DARKNESS WILL BE THY HOME. TO THE DEPTHS OF THE PIT DO I CONDEMN THEE.
Page 4, Panel 5
Close up of Satan. We see the arrogance that has brought him to this point.
SATAN (THOUGHT BUBBLE): I SHALL YET HAVE YOUR THRONE OLD MAN!
We see Satan, in chains, being led by Michael and a few of his host. Behind them is heaven, below them can be seen the earth.
Page 5, Panels 2 through 5
Satan has been thrown from heaven to earth below. As he falls he changes from the angel he was to the demon he will become. As he falls the earth begins to be obscured by a rift in the dimensions and he falls into it. He screams while falling.
SATAN: YOU COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL MICHAEL! I WILL REMEMBER!
We see Matthew Barker, Prof. of Archaeology at UCLA, awakening from a dream. Sweat covers his brow and he is covered in blankets. He holds his head in his hands.
BARKER (THOUGHT BUBBLE): ONE MORE NIGHT OF THOSE AND I’M GIVING VALIUM A TRY.
Page 6, Panel 2
Barker has moved to his fridge. It’s open and he munching on something while looking for something to drink.
Page 6, Panel 3
Barker lies down again in bed.
Page 6, Panel 4
We see Barker fall asleep and as he does so, the visions begin again.

PRIEST: MIGHTY HUITZILOPOCHTLI PLEASE ACCEPT THIS SACRIFICE AND GIVE US POWER OVER OUR ENEMIES!
Page 9, Panel 4
Tenochitlan lies in ruins, its people massacred, its King in chains. We’re in the palace of King Moctezuma, and Cortez is seated on his throne, surrounded by his guards. (one of which has the glow) Moctezuma himself lies in chains.

MAN: YES, MIEN FURER.
Page 10, Panel 4
We see that same man, deep within a tomb. He carries a torch and has with him numerous soldiers of the SS. Before him is a sarcophagus, the lid removed and the body of a King of yesteryear. In his hand is a spear, along side him is a massive axe.
MAN: WE HAVE FOUND IT! THE SPEAR OF LONGINIUS. THE VERY SPEAR THAT PIERCED THE SIDE OF THE CHRIST.
Page 10, Panel 5
We see the same scene from the opposite direction. We see the silhouette of a man and what could be wings coming from his sides. The face of the leader turns towards us and we see fear in his eyes.
MAN: WHO, WHAT ARE YOU?
Page 10, Panel 6
We’re back in Hitler’s throne room. A dead messenger lies at his feet. He holds a piece of paper in his hands.
HITLER: I WILL HAVE THAT SPEAR.
We are at the outskirts of the city of Rome. We see the 7 hills surrounding this once mighty city.

We see rising out of the center of Rome a building of black glass. The words, “Wormwood Inc.” can be seen at the top.
CAPTION: THE WAR THAT HAS LASTED FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME NEARS ITS CONCLUSION.
We are now at the penthouse level of the Wormwood building. Inside is a large table of solid wood. Surrounding the table are 6 men in plush chairs. Each man appears to be of a different race and nationality, but they are all dressed in solid black suits. They appear to be agitated and waiting for something.
MAN #1 (BLACK): HE SAID HE’D BE HERE 45 MINUTES AGO. DOESN’T THAT IDIOT KNOW I HAVE A BUSINESS TO RUN!
MAN #2 (WHITE): SHUT UP YOU FOOL! HE’S PROBABLY GOT THIS ROOM WIRED AND KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE SAYING.
MAN #1: HE CAN GO TO HELL FOR ALL I CARE!
Page 12, Panel 2
We see the men turning around as someone enters the room. The figure in question is shadowed and we can not see his face.
MAN IN SHADOWS: BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU MR. WASHINGTON, THAT HAVING BEEN THERE ONCE, I FIND THE PLACE A LITTLE TOO… DULL FOR ME.
Page 12, Panel 3
We see the man for the first time. He is tall, gaunt, and bald. His eyes glow with a sinister light and there’s a slight smirk on his face.
Page 12, Panel 4
Abaddon stands at the head of the table. His hands on the table, as he addresses the others. The other men all look to him, a mixture of hatred, envy, and fear on their faces.
ABADDON: THE TIME HAS COME. AFTER YEARS OF PLANNING, OUR GOALS WILL SOON BE MADE MANIFEST. OUR MASTER WILL BE FREE AND WE WILL RULE IN HIS NAME.

Page 13, Panel 3

We see an alley in what could be any major American city. Garbage along the walls, water running down the middle, a drunk homeless person on the right side. Running down the middle is a young black man, gun in hand, starting to look backwards, an expression of fear in his eyes.
PUNK: OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD.

We see a silhouette of a rather tall, slightly built man. The punk stops suddenly, with the gun pointed forward.
PUNK: HO… HOW?!?

DAVID: IT WASN’T TOO HARD MOM, JUST SOME LATE NIGHT STUDYING.
We’re within a laboratory of some kind. Huge, Kirbyesque machinery is everywhere. In the middle of the room, surrounded by scientists is a gateway of some kind. Surrounding the gateway (it looks vaguely Stargate like) are 7 crystals, 4 of which are lit. Two are completely darkened but one of the remaining ones glows very slightly.
Page 20, Panel 2
We see Abaddon (always with the glow in his eyes) before the gateway. He’s speaking to a scientist.

The cliffhanger for this issue…. Matthew’s once darkened room is now completely lit up. He is sitting up in bed, clutching the sheets before him. At the foot of his bed is a white robed, winged figure. He has long white hair and blue eyes. (It will be revealed that this is the angel Gabriel) The glow is emanating from him. His hand is outstretched as he calls to Matthew.
GABRIEL: MATTHEW BARKER!!! YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED AND YOU ARE CHOSEN. IT IS UP TO YOU TO DECIDE THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE!!!
MATTHEW: WHA…WHAT!?!?!
