5.0 out of 5 stars Simonson gets the Fourth World
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2023

As others have said, this is the only worthy successor to Kirby. In fact, I would say that it is superior to Kirby's 1980's, the Hunger Dogs. I know that is blasphemy; however, even Kirby's artwork on the last original run book, #11 looked dispirited since he knew the books had been discontinued. Simonson doesn't just give a rehash, he introduces new characters and themes that actually add and do not detract from the original. Having said that, I think he could have left Shazam out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great follow up to Book One
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2022

I read this almost immediately after finishing Kirby's original New Gods run, and it really does feel like a natural continuation, with the benefit of several decades of development in the medium. If anyone likes Simonson's run on Thor, they'll love this series too.

The art is also really fantastic. It has what may be my favorite spread ever.

(Slight spoilers) The second volume is all about Orion dealing with the anti-life equation, and then dealing with what he did under its influence. The second half may seem like an anticlimax after the first, but I really liked how it developed Orion's character. A lot nicer than he gets in a lot of other works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Part of the pantheon of awesome cosmic comics

Orion's greatest adventure concludes in this volume. After bending Apokalips and Earth to his will using the Anti-Life Equation, Orion soon finds himself facing Darkseid, a Promethean Giant, The Ecruos, and others with the fate of the universe in the balance.

The book has a cosmic, epic feel not often seen in comics. Byrne's Fourth World run had big things happen but I never felt like there was a chance the universe would end. While I logically knew Orion would save the tree at the heart of reality, I had my doubts a few times. As if being the Anti-Life Equation's host for a while wasn't enough, Orion has his eyes gouged out and spends some unpleasant time on earth before settling things and eventually restoring the status quo for whomever picked up Orion next.

Simonson's art and writing was a good fit for the mythic tone of the book. Byrne and Austin did a couple issues and were able to maintain what Simonson was doing. It may have been their best work together. I've have some minor quibbles, like Orion never actually fighting the battle depicted on the cover and Mister Miracle's motivation being a little unclear. I could have done without the Earth story at the end in favor of more cosmic stuff but it wasn't my tale to tell.

I enjoyed Simonson's depiction of Darkseid. Darkseid works best for me as a master manipulator rather than a heavy hitter and that's the way Simonson plays him. Hell, he does a great job with Orion too, giving him what he wants and letting him dig his own grave with it. There are some similarities to his approach with Thor but when the story involves gods and you hire Walt Simonson, you shouldn't be surprised.

I started reading this series because i enjoyed Kirby's original New Gods book and Simson's run on Thor and seeing the creator of Beta Ray Bill's take on on the Fourth World mythos was a joy to read especially with the new additions to the King's cosmic pantheon

A HQ parece fantástica, mas ainda não li.
Vim avaliar a qualidade das entregas da Amazon que tem apresentado problemas. Muitos já foram os casos de livros recebidos com amassamento nos cantos, e este foi mais um caso: desta vez, em ambos os cantos superiores.
Lamentável para quem é colecionador e faz repensar a qualidade do serviço e novas compras.
