SYNOPSIS:
At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union, determined to win the Space Race at any cost, green lit a dangerously advanced mission. They sent a man farther into the cosmos than anyone has gone before or since. Lost in the stars, he encountered something unknown. Something that changed him.
Long thought lost & erased from the history books, he has suddenly returned, crash-landing in the Australian Outback. The few that have been able to reach him believe him to be a deity; one who turned the scorched desert into a lush oasis. They say he can bend matter, space, & even time to his will. Earth is about to meet a new god; and he's a communist.How long can it be before the first confrontation between mankind and DIVINITY begins?

COLLECTOR'S NOTES:
In October of 2015, John Mattaboni "slogged a Diamond box full" of Divinity #1's to NYCC, where he had 17 copies signed by writer Matt Kindt, colorist Dave Baron, and inker Ryan Winn. All 17 copies graded 9.8. I had previously obtained a CGC 9.8 copy as part of a large trade deal, which was signed by Matt Kindt. However, John contacted me in January of 2016 and we made a solid trade deal that allowed me to upgrade to the Triple-Signed copy that now is part of this set.
Trevor Hairsine's original art for Divinity #1 page #1 is pictured below.
