A dark god, released by the destruction of the planet Krypton, finds her way to Earth to extinguish the "last flame" of Krypton's fire.  Blanketing the whole of the Earth in the snows of a new Ice Age--her mythological power--she intends to bring the last son of Krypton to the fore.  When she discovers he bears a similar "beauty" to Rao--originator of the house of El and another god of Krypton whom she intended to trap in marriage--she changes her plans.  Instead of killing Superman, she now intends to wed him.

A group of Orcs lead by Rehgar were traveling through Durotar (which is the Orc homeland on the Eastern coast of Kalimdor) to get to Orgrimmar. On their way, they discover a human battling a crocolisk for his life. Two of the Orcs decide to bet on who would win, eventually Rehgar would come to find out what they were doing. He quickly becomes interested how the human was able to hold his own against the crocolisk. Eventually Rehgar would kill the crocolisk himself then knock the human unconscious. The human (who the others decided to just call "Croc-Bait" because he fought a croc), who still has amnesia, woke up later that night to discover he was caged up with a Night Elf druid (Broll Bearmantle) and a Blood Elf girl (Valeera Sanguinar). They tell him that he is now on their Gladiator team. Valeera and Broll get into an argument due to the Night Elves and Blood Elves hatred against each other. Rehgar later comes in to tell them that in three weeks, they will battle against others in a championship match, and it's win or die. Later, they begin training for the battle, but the human does not want to fight. Eventually they are interrupted by the Goblin Sparkeye's team, consisting of a Troll, a Tauren, and an Undead. The Goblin team justs checks out their competition for now. Later that night, Broll tries to help the human recover from his amnesia. But he stops as he gets into another argument with Valeera about the Blood Elves betrayal to the Night Elves. The next morning, the Goblin team decides to fight Rehgar's team. The human decides to step in to save Valeera. The human would slice off the Troll's arm and stabs the Tauren down. The team is then confronted by a powerful Orc, ready to battle them.

Taking the adventures of Kirby's brooding New God and member of the JLA in exciting new directions, ORION starts with a bang (or maybe a "BOOM!") as the title character seeks the truth about his being the son of Darkseid. In the incredible first issue, Orion confronts his mother, Tigra, about her claim that he is not truly Darkseid's child. Refusing to believe her words, he seeks the counsel of others, traveling to the heart of the Source and then to the darkness of Apokolips for answers. But the one who would know best, Darkseid, is nowhere to be found because, unbeknownst to Orion, he is wreaking havoc on Earth, taking over a city in the heartland of America as part of his voracious quest for the Anti- Life Equation!
