This year's San Diego Comic-Con brought a lot of news. Possibly the most surprising and easily the most exciting was DC's announcement that The New Gods were coming back to comic shops and that their latest saga would be steered by writer Ram V and artist Evan Cagle. While these characters loom large over the DC universe, they've rarely carried a solo book for any significant amount of time. One reason for that might be that they're such pure Jack Kirby creations, and following in the King's footsteps is more than a challenge. If anyone is up for such a task, it's Ram V. The writer's first work within DC was on Swamp Thing, and he easily proved he could step into a beloved property and add a little of himself to it. He recognizes fans' preciousness toward Jack Kirby's Fourth World, but he equally understands how The New Gods could speak very much to the moment. We met with Ram V atop the DC booth on Saturday at San Diego Comic-Con. We begin our conversation with our love for all things Kirby and move toward parenthood, specifically fatherhood, and how it will thematically propel his take on The New Gods. What has Scott Free learned from his two dads, Darkseid and Highfather? The New Gods will land in comic book shops in December, but make sure you catch up on the cosmic imbalance that launches their story by picking up The All In Special on October 2nd. To continue this conversation with Ram V, follow his Twitter, Instagram, and Website. Other Relevant Links: Ram V and Dan Watters on The Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!

SUBVERSIVE SUPERHEROES! This will actually be the first in a series of QTD episodes where we talk about some of the more...subversive takes on some of DC Comics greatest heroes. What happens when you're a war veteran, were in the CIA, saw some shit, decided to start making PTSD-inspired, superhero comics? This week we're talking about 2018's "MISTER MIRACLE" by Hugo award winning writer - and ex-CIA officer - Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads ... the same team behind “the Sherrif of Babylon.”.Mister Miracle is an ambitious new take on one of Jack Kirby's most beloved New Gods - and his dysfunctional family. Mister Miracle is about SCOTT FREE, the son of the Highfather - a good-guy demi-god who rules over New Genesis To make the peace in an all out war amongst gods of good and evil, Scott is traded at birth with the Highfather's opposite - the stone cold evil that is Darkseid of Apokolips (pretty much DC's version of Thanos before Marvel ripped off DC). Growing up a nameless youth, Scott is tortured. But along the way, he becomes a master escape artist (escaping “Scott Free”), finds love in the fiery pits of Apokolips, becomes the superhero "Mister Miracle" and and moves to earth to join the Justice League with his new wife Big Barda,...and domestic bliss ensues. it's basically a pleasant rom-com of a comic! …OK, not really, this is some PTSD-laden shit, and one of the best new comics we’ve read in awhile…and a great book to kick off our “Subversive Superheroes” series...

Set after Ragnarok and the birth of a new generation of gods, The New Gods was part of Jack Kirby's Fourth World cycle of storytelling, along with Mister Miracle and The Forever People. The story pits the evil gods of Apokolips, led by Darkseid, against the bright and idealistic gods of New Genesis, led by Highfather. Mister Miracle is the son of Highfather, who was raised on Apokolips as a kind of mutually-assured destruction pact with Darkseid, who sent his son Orion to be raised on New Genesis. Miracle is perhaps the most marketable of all of the New Gods characters, along with his wife, Big Barda, and Orion himself. http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/03/15/ava-duvernay-to-direct-dcs-new-gods/   NEXT EPISODE   Part 2: Promo for Next Week's Episode   Link to Promo: (Date: 31 Oct 2017) https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/legends_of_tomorrow/legends-of-tomorrow-its-vampire-hunting-season-in-new-promo-for-season-3-episode-5-return-of-the-mack-a154935   Episode: “Return of the Mack” [Season 3 Episode 5] Air Date: Tuesday, November 7. 2017 Summary: The Legends run into Rip in 1897 London where they attempt to hunt down a time-traveling vampire.

In this week's issue we talk all about good and evil in the DC Universe! From the banal to the existential, all questions in this issue are about the nature of right and wrong. Last week we gave Colin a reading assignment, this week we see how this issue pales in comparison to pantheon of paper before it. But before all this, we talk all that has happened in DC news! Sponsored by Great Lakes Grooming Co. Intro by Aaron Barry   Prescribed Reading from Issue #45: The Spectre vol. 4 #5 – Adjusting to his new role as the Spectre, Hal Jordan tries to change his mission from vengeance to redemption by attempting to heal Harvey Dent of his Two-Face persona. Justice League vol. 2 #23.1 – The Darkseid Villains Month one-shot, exploring the post-Flashpoint origins of both Darkseid and Highfather. Green Lantern Corps vol. 3 #35 – In attempting to harness the power of the Lantern rings, Highfather unintentionally creates a planet full of malformed, suffering monsters. Batman vol. 1 #612 – Bruce admits that Superman can be trusted because deep down Clark is a good person, where Bruce believes himself not to be. Green Lantern vol. 2 #16 – The 1st appearance of Carol Ferris as the Star Sapphire, originally a villain. Hellblazer vol. 1 #11 – John Constantine and the Newcastle Crew botch an exorcism and condemn Astra Logue to Hell. Suicide Squad vol. 1 #5 – In this issue, it is revealed that each time June Moone releases the Enchantress, the evil succubus gains more and more power.   SHOW NOTES (courtesy of Josh Gill)   News and Notes   Michael Bay Eyeing Lobo Film http://dccomicsnews.com/2018/02/11/michael-bay-eyeing-lobo-film/ Wolverine http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Wolverine Jason Mamoa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Momoa Joe Manganiello https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Manganiello The Rock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwayne_Johnson Black Adam http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Teth-Adam_(New_Earth) http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/12/01/black-adam-shazam-dwayne-johnson-two-movies-/ Mick Foley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Foley Channing Tatum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channing_Tatum Zac Efron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zac_Efron Jared Leto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Leto Fight Club https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight_Club Charlie Hunnam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Hunnam Green Arrow http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Oliver_Queen_(Prime_Earth) Shazam Plot Synopsis Released https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dcs-shazam-plot-revealed-in-new-synopsis/1100-6456593/ Big (movie) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_(film) Billy Batson http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/William_Batson_(Prime_Earth) Dr. Sivana http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Thaddeus_Sivana_(Prime_Earth) Supernatural (TV Show) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernatural_(U.S._TV_series) 17 Again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17_Again_(film) Martian Manhunter is Coming Home http://dccomicsnews.com/2018/02/12/martian-manhunter-finally-returns-to-dc-comics/ Hey Rosetta! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_Rosetta!

Born on Apokolips as Prince Uxas, the young man usurped those in line ahead of him to claim the throne. Being ruler wasn't enough so he stole the powers of the Old Gods to become the New God Darkseid. Locked in an eternal war with his brother Highfather of New Genesis, and prophesied to die at the hand of his son Orion, Darkseid became a threat to all who value free will while in his quest to obtain the Anti-Life Equation.
