  • The Night of Brahma is a Doctor Fate storyline written by J.M. DeMatteis and illustrated by Shawn McManus. Following his successful miniseries on the character, it is the beginning of DeMatteis' Doctor Fate ongoing series. Nabu descends to Earth and inhabits the recently deceased body of Kent Nelson, acting as mentor to Eric and Linda Strauss as the new incarnation of Doctor Fate. Andrew Bennett also reappears, another DeMatteis character believed dead for several years after his final appearance in House of Mystery. The storyline deals with Kali Yuga and the Lords of Order fighting the Lords of Chaos. It is prophecized that the reign of order will end in a reign of chaos, but after this there will be a mahapralaya and the universe will collapse in on itself. This "sleep of Brahma" will usher in a golden age of prosperity for the universe. The Lords of Order are trying to bring about this age of prosperity by ending the age of mankind, and Doctor Fate aligns with the Lords of Chaos to preserve humanity under their rule.
