The Last God #12

Written by: Phillip Kennedy Johnson
Art by: Riccardo Federici

At the edge of creation lies the Black Stair. From beyond it, from the Void of non-existence, He has returned. Mol Uhltep, The Last God. The God in The Void walks the world of Cain Anuun once more, bringing his apocalyptic prophecy of thirty years past to fruition. This is the story of those who failed to stop Him. The mortals who believed they could kill a god and protect their world from the cold embrace of unlife. Instead, they lie dead and dying atop the Black Stair as the world crumbles around them. This is how it all ends. The void awaits.

At the edge of creation lies the Black Stair. And beyond it, amidst the void, He waits. Mol Uhltep, the Last God. This is the tale of those who claimed to slay him, and the world they doomed with their lies. The breathtaking penultimate chapter of DC’s dark fantasy epic is here! As the surviving heroes of Cain Anuun arrive at the Black Stair, they must battle an incredible army of flowering dead led by Mol Uhltep’s most exalted wraiths. Will the heroes ascend the stair and put an end to the Last God’s ominous prophecy before the sins of the past are at long last made flesh? Or is it already too late?

At the edge of creation lies the Black Stair. And beyond it, amidst the void, He waits. Mol Uhltep, the Last God. This is the tale of those who claimed to slay him, and the world they doomed with their lies. Many falsehoods have been spoken of the great hero Tyr and his fellowship of companions, the Godslayers, and their supposed defeat of Mol Uhltep. Many terrible crimes hidden away by years of deception. Now, at long last, the truth about what happened 30 years ago atop the Black Stair is revealed. The final act of book one of “The Fellspyre Chronicles” begins here!
