It began with a prophecy. From the moment those enigmatic words were delivered from the Source, shock waves rocked the very foundation of the DCU. History was written, worlds were conquered, and a new light was shone upon the Earth. Now, in the breathtaking, reality-bending finale of Ram V and Evan Cagle’s cosmic epic, the prophecy will be fulfilled…or will it?
In many ways, this series winds up feeling like a proper sequel to the incredible Mister Miracle series by Tom King from the beginning of his DC career, picking up on a lot of the themes he worked with. And that's why the ending here is so satisfying. It really feels like a true changing of the guard for New Genesis, just in time for another huge shake-up for the entire Fourth World as DC KO kicks off. Read Full Review
New Gods #12 is a fitting end to what was definitely one of the most underrated books to come out in DC the past year. A great end that also serves as a great beginning to the next cycle of stories for these characters. Read Full Review
The New Gods #12 is confident, emotional, and purposeful. It resolves the character arcs with care, respects the grandeur of Jack Kirby's original mythology, and still carves out its own identity as a modern epic. Read Full Review
The New Gods #12 delivers a cosmic punch that rewards readers prepared for mythic melodrama and existential questions. If your budget tolerates a little narrative self-indulgence and art that sometimes spills off the rails, you'll find emotional rewards atop the mounting chaos. Completionists and fans of ambitious storytelling should find it worth their time; casual readers may want to survey the battlefield first. Read Full Review
As an issue I enjoyed it. Ram V is similar to Spurrier in that I’m not sure the whole is as good as the sum of its parts. Plotting is not his strength and that is okay. I thought this maxi series dragged in the middle. Definitely going to reread this from the beginning. Which is my plan with Ram Vs swamp thing, detective comics and new gods, to see if these comics hold together.
