    Doctor Fate #1

    Doctor Fate » Doctor Fate #1 - Cycles released by DC Comics on July 1987.

    Short summary describing this issue.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    The universe spins through cycles of light and darkness, and now that the Lords of Order have surrendered to the inevitable coming of their dark counterparts, the Lords of Chaos, it's doubtful that even the new Doctor Fate who arises to meet this crisis will be able to turn the tide!

    Dr. Fate is in a battle with Typhon, Lord of Chaos when he's called back by the Lords of Order. They want Nabu to stop his fighting for Order. The battle is to be lost and chaos is to prevail. Nabu is unwilling to accept this "fact" and is determined to fight back. Nabu is also aware that Ken Nelson is getting old and his body is weakening.

    Notes:

    • Cover title has Dr. Fate but indica has Doctor Fate.
    • Tribute to Gardner F. Fox on inside front cover by Roy Thomas.

    Doctor Fate #1 - Cycles by darkdetective27 on November 29, 2015

    This is a review of issue 1 through 4 of this miniseries. This series is a very dark and bizarre read that is very interesting. The art paints a very surreal world rooted very much in the darkest parts of the occult. It begins with Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson) fighting Typhon with the balance of the world at stake. Unfortunately during the battle he is spirited away to the realm of the Lords of Order where they tell him that he can no longer use that body. Nebu is sent back to Earth to find a new ...

    I was able to pick up all four issues of this series and will be reading and reviewing them in order.  This first issue has us finding Fate in a battle with the minions of Typhon.   During the battle Fate is taken back to face the Lords of Order.  Interesting... the Lords of Order are telling him to give it up, throw in the towel, he's not going to win, that chaos is going to rule.  Of course, Nabu/Fate refuse to believe this or give in to it (that's our hero spirit!).  I did like how that playe...
