Justice League Odyssey is a 25-issue ongoing comic series published by DC Comics from September 26, 2018 to October 13, 2020. Written by Joshua Williamson with art by Stjepan Sejic, the series has a connection to the New Justice relaunch.[1]
Shortly after the end of Dark Nights: Metal and Justice League: No Justice, a mysterious new zone titled "The Ghost Sector" has appeared in outer space. Within the Ghost Sector is a large number of alien planets that were held captive by the Coluan race. Being mysteriously led by Darkseid to the Ghost Sector, Cyborg, Starfire and Azrael begin their search using a stolen Brainiac Skull Ship. Also present in the Ghost Sector is Jessica Cruz, who is being assigned to patrol the area by the Green Lantern Corps.
After barely surviving a crash landing, the four suddenly encounter Darkseid, who tells them his twisted plan of using Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael to gain control of the Multiverse. According to the prophecy, the alien worlds were long hidden away from the Multiverse because of the Old Gods they worshipped.[2]
The team eventually attempts an idea with Epoch. The Lord of Time. And Orion also appears at some point, rescuing the Green Lantern Jessica Cruz after she is killed by Darkseid. Initially, he is under the guise of Okkult until the ruse is discovered and he continues to appear as Orion.
