☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume concludes DC's collection of Jack Kirby's epic Fourth World saga, reprinting the final chapters of his interconnected titles from the early 1970s. It includes the climactic issues of The New Gods, The Forever People, and Mister Miracle, along with Kirby's complete run on Jimmy Olsen and other related material, all restored and presented in chronological order. The book captures the cosmic conclusion to Kirby's ambitious mythology of warring gods, New Genesis, and Apokolips.
In "The Mister Miracle to Be!", Jack Kirby's legendary Fourth World saga reaches a pivotal moment as Scott Free and Big Barda face their most dangerous trial yet—kidnapped by Shilo and Oberon, then ambushed by Virman Vundabar. With Kirby’s dynamic art and Mike Royer’s inks bringing the action to life, the duo must rely on Orion and Lightray to escape a deadly trap, only to confront Highfather’s sudden arrival and a dramatic wedding—just as Darkseid appears on the horizon. Cover by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta captures the epic scale of this landmark moment in the New Gods saga.
In "Devilance the Pursuer," the Forever People face a relentless assault by the menacing Devilance, forcing them to summon Infinity Man in a desperate bid for salvation. When the call comes, the two heroes trade places—freeing Infinity Man from Darkseid’s trap, but leaving the Forever People stranded in a barren, empty universe.
In "null," Scott Free and Big Barda face a desperate crisis when Shilo Norman and Oberon are taken, plunging them into a deadly confrontation with Virman Vundabar. As Mister Miracle and Barda fight to survive Vundabar’s assault and fall prey to Granny Goodness and Kanto’s gravity beam, they’re pulled from the brink by Orion and Lightray—only to find themselves caught in another trap. Just as Darkseid looms on the horizon, Highfather arrives to unite Scott and Barda in marriage, turning the tide of war with divine intervention.
