Deep in the cosmos, an intergalactic inquisition descends upon Apokolips and New Genesis, carrying with it a sinister message: convert or be destroyed. Meanwhile on Earth, Mister Miracle and Big Barda, with their baby in tow, seek out the mysterious child spoken of in Metron's prophecy, desperate to find him before Orion does. Could this child--this new god--be the universe's savior? Or could he be the reincarnation of the universe's greatest evil?

    The latest installment of Fourth World drama steers into the past for its drive. Ram V directs traffic into a multi-stationed tale. The art team brings high skill to this area while grounding events back in the present. With many moving parts, delaying to jump on board is simply not an option. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez

    Feb 20, 2025

    The New Gods #3turns the fancy meter up to 11 and the pretentious knob to Max when readers get a space opera of kingly proportions to explain how the child at the center of this arc came to be. Ram V's penchant for overwriting and overthinking the simplest ideas is on full display. The mashup between past and present is so discontinuous that your eyeballs will trip trying to read this comic, and the whole thing wraps up with a basic, unfinished car chase. Whatever page rates Ram V is getting paid for this series, it's too high. That said, the score earns bonus points for gorgeous art.5/10 Read Full Review
