New Gods #[nn]
This collection gathers the 1998 New Gods series from Bethy, reimagining Jack Kirby's Fourth World mythos for a new era. The story follows Orion, Lightray, and the denizens of New Genesis as they clash with Darkseid, Kalibak, and the forces of Apokolips, including DeSaad, Steppenwolf, and the Black Racer, while Highfather and Metron navigate the cosmic balance. It's a key volume for fans of the eternal struggle between good and tyranny in the DC universe.
In "Orion se bat pour la Terre !", the legendary Orion, wielder of the Astro Force, is called to New Genesis by the High-Father and guided by Metron to confront a dire threat: Darkseid has arrived on Earth, seeking the Anti-Life Equation by mind-scanning every human. With the fate of the planet at stake, Orion must free captured allies—Lanza, Shane, Lincoln, and Lockman—and stand against the tyrant’s plan, all while uncovering the true scope of his mission. Written by Jack Kirby and François Peneaud, with Kirby’s iconic art and Vince Colletta’s inks, and featuring Kirby’s original cover pencils, this 1998 issue delivers a pivotal moment in the New Gods saga.
