The New Gods are awesome. Especially Orion. He's the badass of badasses even in his worst appearances.

I also enjoy Mr. Miracle and Big Barda. Although Orion will always be my favorite New God.

Metron and Darkseid are probably my favorite New Gods. I really like Mr. Miracle too, and Orion is pretty cool.

Big Barda's cool too. Female fighters are usually badass.

The New Gods are the best underused characters in comics. The fact they don't have an ongoing is a tragedy.

I was thinking of reading Jack Kirby's Fourth Wall at some point. Once I've got all this uni work out of the way...should be next Thursday I finish it. Anyone got any place to start? I remember reading Jimmy Olsen issue a long time ago of Darksied's first appearance. I don't want to start there. The beginning would be better for me.

I remember reading Jimmy Olsen issue a long time ago of Darkseid's first appearance. I don't want to start there. The beginning would be better for me. Start with New Gods #1. It's the main book of the series, and where the main plot takes place. The other Three books (Mister Miracle, Forever People and Jimmy Olsen) don't tie into it, plot wise, but work together to paint the picture of New Genesis and Apokolips. On a related note, Darkseid's first appearance in Jimmy Olsen is only the result of Kirby's clumsy unsubtle attempt at foreshadowing (Because let's face it, the King was a lot of things, but subtle certainly wasn't one of them). Darkseid's first true appearance is in New Gods #1, and that's where the mythos proper starts. The few issues of Jimmy Olsen before that serve only to pave the way a bit.
