Synopsis:
Willoughby Kipling and the Doom Patrol attempt to protect a young man from agents sent by the Cult of the Unwritten Book. The man is tattooed with the text of a unique book containing the name of the Antigod, a being capable of destroying the universe. Robotman is sent to find Emilio Cuervo, a man with a wound which acts as a gateway for the Cult. Rebis and Kipling run an errand and encounter Cult agents, while Crazy Jane stays behind to protect the man.

Despite Jane's protection Cult agents abscond with the man. When they read the book, they are able to summon the Antigod. The Decreator's arrival signals the beginning of the end for the universe.
