Yes, I never got around to typing up a list of this week's Comic Cook expectations. So sue me.
I'm making up for it by coming on here early and imploring you all to go out and pick up a copy of Death of the New Gods #1.
If you've ever had interest in the New Gods, Mister Miracle, or simply think that Darkseid is the man, you're going to love (or love to hate) this first issue.
In the span of one slightly-oversized issue, this first part of the story not only brings you up to speed on the New Gods' origins, New Genesis' religion, Darkseid's ambitions, but all the while it also (for the first time since "Countdown" began) sheds light onto the real mystery of the New Gods' death and the Source.
I, for one, am thinking that this eight-part story will not only be the best of the "Countdown" tie-in stories, but also possibly better and more relevant than "Countdown" itself!
The only downside to this great story written and drawn by Jim Starlin is that, well, look at the title. A WHOLE LOT of Great Characters are going to DIE. And a HUGE Death occurs in this issue, which redefines one of my favorite characters of all time, Scott Free. And yes, you Dan Didio haters are going to be pissed again.
But while you're pissed at the death, you will LOVE this actually Relevant story.
