Orion

Walter Simonson’s Orion (2000–2002, DC) is a 25-issue solo series that plunges the hot-tempered New God of the Source into a cosmic maelstrom of Jack Kirby’s Fourth World mythology. With Simonson scripting and sharing art duties with Cliff Chiang and John Byrne, the title explores Orion’s struggle to balance his warrior’s rage with his role as a reluctant hero, all while the war between Apokolips and New Genesis rages. It stands as a passionate, creator-driven revival of Kirby’s grand space opera, giving one of DC’s most volatile immortals a focused, epic stage.
