The chronological Judgment Day, Part 2: The birth of mankind

We're now millions of years since Demeter put the book in the cave at the start of time. Life has developed on the planet and even the beginning of human life. 

 

Giganthro, the cave man member of the League of Infinity, is testifying about his experience with the book of fate in two pages drawn by Steve Skroce.

 

It's interesting to me that the book of fate seems to radiate power in a way that gives enhanced abilities to people near it. Partly that's a very comic sort of idea, like a radioactive spider. 

 

But also, it suggests story and language as an evolutionary step, enhancing those who come into contact with it, from the dinosaur who grows a man's head, to Giganthro, who has developed superior cunning. It's also interesting that Giganthro's cunning suggests the influence of Hermes, as well.

 

The book has tremendous powers but also holds great sway over those it ensnares, like Dino-Man. Obviously, we'll see more of that as we go.

 

Dino-Man returns later and becomes part of the group of arch enemies of the League of Infinity (and we see a statue of him in their headquarters in the pages of Supreme).

 

Next up we'll see who finds the book and draws it out of the depths of the chasm.
