When we last saw the book of destiny, it had been stolen from Storybook Smith. So what became of it?
We find out that it was stolen by the man who would become Sentinel:
In the ensuing fight, the book gets thrown over the edge of Supreme's Citadel and lands among a homeless girl:
The book of fate was a great device for telling this story of heroes and adventurers throughout history. But it also allowed Moore to play with time travel, the inability to escape the hands of fate, and the power of language.
Before I end this, let me throw out one more random theory. What if the difference between our universe and the Awesome one was the changes Troll, Magnar, Merlin and the others made to the book? What if the book of fate foretold our ordinary destiny but with those small changes, time changed and changed until superheroes started showing up?
It's just a silly thought, but I enjoyed Judgment Day's exploration of comics' history and wish more had been done to interact with the various heroes and genres.
What'd you think?
