About the series
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, DC Comics revived Jack Kirby's cosmic Fourth World mythology with this 28-issue series, spotlighting the eternal conflict between the utopian New Gods of New Genesis and the hellish denizens of Apokolips. Writers Mark Evanier and artists Paris Cullins and Rick Hoberg anchored the run, steering the epic through high-stakes battles and character-driven drama that expanded the legacy of Orion, Lightray, and their godly peers. It stands as a key post-Kirby exploration of these mythic figures, bridging the gap between the original 1970s tales and later cosmic events.
