"You know, the essence of the Dr. Fate concept was always, you discover a magic helmet and you become connected to the magic. That's the heart of what was there from 75 years ago. So I can't tell you whether these stories are taking place before Kent Nelson found it, instead of Kent Nelson finding it, or in an alternate world to where Kent Nelson might have found it - I'll leave that to the people who understand the Multiverse a little better than I do.

But I think it's very complementary to the historic material. And in many ways, I'd like to think it's what the original creator might have done if he was alive and writing today, within the dynamics of what comics are now.

Good? Let's begin! Picking right where we left off in the sneak peek...

Khalid heads home by taking the subway, just trying to assure himself that everything is fine, even texting/calling his mom and girlfriend at points. However, as he waits for his subway car to show up, he hears a little girl crying, having fallen onto the tracks. He jumps down...

He leaves after that, still completely out of it. Suddenly, his cat, Puck, appears and starts talking to him, asking him to follow. Surrendering and deciding to just go with the flow, he follows the cat back to the museum...

There is a price for power, Khalid, and for seeing what lies beyond. I shall pay for gifting this to you... and you shall pay as well... FATE.

The issue then ends with us seeing Khalid's dad trying to drive this jackass to the airport during the middle of this huge storm. However...

Didn't they try this approach with Ibis the Invincible? I don't recall it having been such a resounding success.

Good thing Khalid stopped that train or he would have been taking orders from a black sphere rather than a golden helmet.

An avatar of an an ancient Egyptian sorcerer who is actually *gasp* Egyptian? That's crazy talk.

It's okay, it's okay! I'm sure he's just holding the helmet for a white guy.

Whoa, they kinda just dropped in that F-bomb, didn't they? That doesn't exactly make it a T-rated comic, then, does it?

Ah, I stand corrected. You're right, though, the font makes the P look more like an F in this case.

Ah, going back to Fate as a medical practitioner, eh? Interesting. (Though it'd take ages to get back to where Fate #1 was, unless they do some time skips.)

Also, odd that he's meant to oppose Anubis when that artifact on his chest is regularly referred to as "the Amulet of Anubis."
