Mysteries of Love in Space #1
In "An Apokoliptian Love Story," Adam’s zeta-beam teleportation goes awry, landing him on the distant planet Anthorann instead of Rann. With barbarians and a mysterious "Rainbow Doom" on the move, he teams up with Alanna and Sardath—survivors of a crash from Samakand’s lost science—to defend New Ranagar from invaders wielding a deadly diamondium pendulum. Written by Gardner Fox and Edmond Hamilton, with art by Mike Sekowsky and inks by Frank Giacoia and Joe Giella, this 2019 DC adventure blends cosmic intrigue and unexpected alliances. Joëlle Jones delivers a striking cover that captures the story’s otherworldly tone.

Zapped by the zeta-beam, Adam is teleported, not to Rann, but to Anthorann, a neighboring planet. Escaping barbarians and their "Rainbow Doom" (a teleporter), he meets Alanna and Sardath, who had used knowledge from Samakand scientists to journey to Anthorann, but crashed. Adam dons a Rann spacesuit from the wreckage and faces invaders from Morleen, who swing a "diamondium" pendulum to cut open the dome of New Ranagar. Adam ray-blasts the shaft, then fades away to Earth.
