New Gods (2024)

RAM V AND EVAN CAGLE RESHAPE THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE DCU! An old god has died, and the reverberations of his passing are felt across the universe, setting forth the soldiers of an intergalactic army and awakening the latent powers of a mysterious child on Earth. But this has all been foreseen--prophesized by the Source and fed as enigmatic images to its agent, Metron. Now, as Metron brings word of this cosmos-shattering prediction to the residents of New Genesis and Apokolips, both worlds are thrown into chaos and conflict. On Earth, Scott Free and Barda find themselves unaware of this incoming chaos while consumed with their most daunting task yet: parenthood. Ram V and Evan Cagle bring the Fourth World to a whole new generation in this epic of cosmic proportions. An old god has died...the New Gods are born!

A GREAT POWER HAS AWAKENED, AND THE UNIVERSE MAY NEVER BE THE SAME! Mr. Miracle has found himself at a crossroads. Presented with a terrible choice by his brother Orion, he must decide between venturing out to save a child he has never met--a new god made manifest--or stay home to raise a child of his own. Meanwhile, an evil awakens, driven mad by an obsession with a dead god, and sets its sights on this same child. Several forces, of good and of evil, converge on this child as his latent powers begin to reveal themselves to the world. And while these dramas play out on Earth, the forces of an intergalactic inquisition march ever closer...

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 FATE OF THREE WORLDS HANGS IN THE BALANCE! New Genesis. Apokolips. Earth. Three worlds in the warpath of the deadly interstellar inquisition known as the Nyctari. Three worlds on the verge of annihilation. Three worlds whose only hope of salvation may lie with a young boy imbued with incomprehensible power--a power beyond godlike. But is this boy truly a force for salvation, or the reincarnation of the greatest evil the universe has ever known? And will the forces of these three worlds be able to answer this critical question before it is too late?

THE INQUISITION HAS ARRIVED! On Earth, Mister Miracle and Barda race against time to keep Kamal, the newest New God, away from the deadly clutches of Orion. But the champion of New Genesis will not rest until his savage mission has been fulfilled. And as the intergalactic inquisition of the Nyctari reaches New Genesis, the planet's natives must face a difficult decision: fight against the unstoppable invading army or abandon their homeworld and set out into the cosmos as refugees. All roads lead to Earth, a world with its own protectors...

A GOD HAS FALLEN! In the wake of the Nyctari invasion of New Genesis, a hero is laid to rest. Black Racer, speeding through deep space, must deliver his fallen comrade back to the Source. Bear witness to a cosmos-spanning epic that examines the very nature of life, death, and everything in between in this special issue that reunites the all-star team of Ram V and Filipe Andrade!

WORLDS COLLIDE! New Genesis has fallen, and the New Gods have found themselves without a home. Their fates have sent them to Earth, a planet with its own inhabitants, protectors, and immortals. Will these Gods without a world be welcomed to Earth as refugees or rejected as invaders?

THE NEW GODS ON EARTH! As the former residents of New Genesis attempt to find their footing as Earth's newest inhabitants, the Justice League remains split concerning whether it should allow the New Gods permanent residence. But this debate is cut short when Apokoliptians make their appearance on Earth, joined by Maxwell Lord and his near-infinite resources, in search of the newest New God and the potentially worlds-shattering power he holds within.

THE BALANCE OF POWER IS SHIFTING... The New Gods find themselves assimilating as Earth's new residents, but this transition is not without its difficulties. The New Gods and the Justice League have all set their sights on young Kamal, the newest New God, destined to someday become the Steed prophesied by the Source. While these benevolent forces attempt to find the right path to lead this child down, malicious entities from Earth and beyond attempt a power grab--and the DC Universe may never be the same again.

MAXWELL LORD MAKES HIS MOVE! Kamal has been kidnapped! Stolen away from the protection of both the New Gods and the Justice League, the child is now in the possession of Maxwell Lord--but what does Lord intend to do with the newest new god's seemingly unlimited power? Can the heroes of the DCU and the refugees of the Fourth World save Kamal before it's too late?

THE VILLAINS OF THE FOURTH WORLD IN THE VOID! Deep in space, in an uncharted corner of the cosmos, lies an enigma--unimaginably massive while simultaneously empty, containing the echoes of an evil thought dead. And now, with the child Kamal in their grasp, the Fourth World’s most sinister villains traverse the void toward this enigma...and if they reach their destination, the universe itself may never be the same.

THE PROPHECY…FULFILLED? 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?
