Fuck Yeah New Gods

I redid this panel from (90's) Spectre issue 19, of Metron and the Apokolyptian New Goddess Anomalie (?) in retro-shoujo manga style.

We return to the Source, my child.

A DC animated show that's not centered around Batman, Superman or the Justice League? And it's for adults?!

The New Gods: Quick and Dirty (A Reading List)

This contains a very brief history on Jack Kirby rejoining DC, a bare-minimum recommended reading list of 5 issues and some change, and a more thorough list for all of Kirby's Fourth World works.

This list is really my way of saying, "Here's how to get your foot in the Fourth World door." So often the advice is to read all four of Kirby's 1971 comics, but even just a single 11 issue series might be more than some can commit to. Instead, 5-ish is what I'm putting down with the hopes that it'll intrigue you enough to go on and continue to check out more.

The New Gods: Cheap and Easy (A Publication Guide)

This contains a chronological list of all major Fourth World stories from main continuity, including not just the title series but also some events and important arcs with summaries for each. And because I kept finding comics that didn't quite belong in the guide but I wanted to include anyway, there's a list of honorable mentions.

This guide was an especially huge undertaking that I have poured hours into. And now I'm glad I have it to use even for my own reference, so please do use it too! I hope it can help you unravel the history of the Fourth World and maybe even find something you haven't read before!

Lightray knows of his fate.
