Everything I’ve read from the New Gods has been a joy to read.Īll around this was a neat issue that anyone could enjoy. Some of the older Marvel comic books were a little too dense for me to enjoy. Like the last segment it makes you want more. I’m not about to review a classic series by the Jack Kirby but I will say, I’ve never read any of the original Forever People before and these were great. Both deal with Lonar and his warhorse Thunderer, the second story introduces the horse to Orion. Two reprinted stories from Jack Kirby’s run on the Forever People. The highlight of the segment is probably the design of each creature that inhabits the Unholy See on Apokolips. It was an interesting story with some great looking art, but it was really short. He wrote and drew this short story that focused on the relationship between Orion and Seagrin. This tale of young Orion saw the return of comic legend Walter Simonson to DC Comics. This was probably the longest segment in the anthology, so it was more fleshed out than the others. This also features New God characters Lightray and Kalibak.
You learn about Orion’s heritage and the kind of person he is. This segment which was written and drawn by Shane Davis is probably the best way to get introduced to Orion even though I think it’s a retelling of Forager’s origin story. For long time readers, this is a great chance to reminisce about the king of comics. This is a great issue that for new readers who aren’t familiar with the New Gods or haven’t read the original run by Jack Kirby. Written and Art by: Shane Davis & Walter SimonsonĭC Comics has released this New Gods anthology special celebrating what would have been Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday.
