The fan-favorite series DV8 returns with the eight-part "Gods and Monsters" arc written by critically acclaimed writer Brian Wood (DEMO, DMZ, NORTHLANDERS) with art by up-and-comer Rebekah Isaacs (Drafted). In their short history, the mismatched band of superpowered losers, freaks and masochists of DV8 have seen a lot and done even more, but it's nothing compared to this. As Gem Antonelli (a.k.a. Copycat) is debriefed in a holding cell, the story of how eight troubled teenagers were briefly gods to a prehistorical world unfolds against the backdrop of a cataclysmic disaster. "The Day I Tried To Live" is part one in this amazing and tragic story unlike anything set in the WildStorm Universe before.

Matthew Callahan (a.k.a. "Threshold") has always considered himself team leader - the alpha dog, the perfect warrior, the awesome Super Hero in the (slightly fascist) uniform of leather and molded rubber. He’s always in control. Always barking out orders. But when he’s taken down by a primitive warrior armed with a simple wooden stick, he realizes he’s got a few things yet to learn. You don’t have to be either a god or a monster in this strange new world...you can be like Matthew and strive to be both.

In "Chemical Chords" part 3 of 8, the superhuman Hector (a.k.a. Powerhaus) is found sprawled across the floor of a primitive hut in the throes of some pretty serious herbal hallucinogens. It’s not shocking, though, as his power is one that converts ambient emotion into mass - but now it’s overloading his system! When the others seek him out, they find that Hector’s got some serious demons he’s trying to block out in this tragic tale of misuse - and overuse - of power.
