My review of The New Gods (2024) #1.
Spoiler free: I know we’re one issue in but I cannot recommend The New Gods enough, it’s already become my favourite comic currently running and I loved literally everything about the first issue, 10/10. It’s so epic and grounded at the same time and characterisation of everyone involved is spot on. It’s also I think a really good jumping on point if you’re not a New Gods fan, Ram V has said that you don’t need any prior knowledge before reading this comic and that really rings true for the first issue. And THE ART!!! Omg Evan Cagle and Jorge Fornés really cooked with the pencils and inks and the colour by Francesco Segala are AMAZING.
Spoiler inclusive/my favourite moments:
Warning I’ve only read it once so far so my thoughts are little more than AAAAH!!!
Tumblr media
Metron is such a little shit stirrer as always. And I love this vague ass prophecy. Everything about the beginning showing the grand scale of the New Gods and then contrasting it with the Frees on earth is chefs kiss. It’s also such a good way to kick start the run.
Tumblr media
LIGHTRAY!!! This art is stunning in literally every panel but omg he’s so cute. And he’s such a ray of sunshine (literally). All he wants to do is help. Also the choice to make him literally glowing is fantastic.
Tumblr media
This whole section with Orion is probably my favourite part art wise (which is really saying something cause again the comic is gorgeous). But Cagles art is so dynamic and full of life I just love it. Also Orion’s design is amazing.
Tumblr media
OLIVIA!!!! Cutest baby ever!!!!!!! I will protect her with my life!
Tumblr media
Like I said before the way Ram V and Evan Cagle contrast the vast expanse of the universe and the mythic levels of the new gods with the domestic life of the Frees is amazing and so impactful. And Orion being in the background and giving them their time was adorable. (Also this Scott design!!!! AHHHH)
Tumblr media
I absolutely adore the way Ram writes them as actual brothers. Their voices and the way they speak with each other has so much more calm and closeness than most of their other appearances ever do. And the way Scott really couldn’t care less about the prophecy until Orion tells him what he has to do, it’s such a perfect characterisation of him!
Tumblr media
AHHHH! Again, cannot stress enough what an amazing characterisation of Scott this is. He’s finally found himself at a point where he doesn’t want to escape and he’s forced to leave anyway. I have to also give props for the large print introductions for Scott and Orion, both of which are visually stunning and represent them perfectly. Also the “and you” AHHHHHHH!!!
Tumblr media
I know I’m repeating myself but it cannot be stressed enough how lovingly, amazingly, and accurately Ram V is writing these characters. Their voices are PERFECT. Orion not wanting to go through with killing a child so he makes Scott stop him and Scott not wanting to go but not being able to stop himself. “The one thing you can never escape, Mister Miracle, is who you are.” Just kill me now.
Tumblr media
MAX??????? What the hell are you doing here???? No but not only am I always happy to see my favourite piece of shit but also I love this. When Max was first introduced he was chasing power and ignoring all empathy because he was being manipulated by a computer created by Metron to gain the knowledge of earth. So I think having him (at least I’m 90% sure it’s him) act out the wills of the gods (whoever it is that’s telling him about the child) is absolutely perfect.
Tumblr media
And I could not be more excited. Like I said this is already my favourite comic book running and one of my favourites of all time and we’re one (1) issue in. I’ve already got both the main cover and the Cagle acetate cover ordered through February (wanted to get more but couldn’t financially justify it). The fact that I have to wait another 4 weeks for the next one is criminal. But I urge everyone to go read this!

Metron: Who is this?
Highfather: The new Champion.
Metron: Then why is he biting your hand?
Highfather: He's against the idea of me being his father.
Metron: You tried to adopt him?!
Highfather: I didn't start this! It was Big Barda!
Billy:*growls aggressively*
Metron: Are you sure he's not a Darkseid spawn?
Highfather: Darkseid wouldn't do something that cute. Right, Billy?
Billy:*growls harder*
Highfather: Isn't he cute?
Metron:...

(Shot opens in Magicians Meeting Hall)
Captain Marvel: *strolls inside toward his seat and unpacks from his little satchel. Stops and greets other magic-users before pulling out notebooks and pencils*
(Cut to Billy on the couch)
Billy: So, over the weekend, I might’ve made a slightly impulsive decision
(Cut back to CM unpacking a mug that reads *#1 DAD!*)
Billy: I mean, I don’t regret it. I just wish I didn’t have to keep my identity a secret, ya know?
(Cuts to Cap smiling at the mug)
(Cuts back to Billy on the couch)
Billy: *holding a photo of Conner/Kon-El(Superboy)This is my son. Isn’t he great? He can already leap tall buildings in a single bound!
(Cuts back to Meeting Hall. Camera pans to New God Metron, swiping away at unreadable documents)
(Cuts to Metron on the couch)
Metron: It’s real. It’s all real. I don’t even…I don’t understand what is going on inside that head of his
(Cut to Satanus in the Meeting Hall, doing his damn best to not laugh)
(Cut to Satanus on the couch)
Satanus: He’s—Pfft—He’s grown up so much! I actually—Shit, I can’t wait to tell Blaze about this.
(Cuts to Blaze on the couch)
Lady Blaze: 😦
Lady Blaze: You’re kidding
(Everyone watches Marvel sip water from the mug. He stares back)
Captain Marvel: What?
Fate: Nothing. Nothing at all
Captain Marvel: You sure?
(Camera pans to Metron, still swiping)
Captain Marvel: He doesn’t look so good.
(Cuts to Billy on the couch)
Billy: he actually reminds me of my uncle after he has too much beer, but I don’t want to seem rude. I’m a dad now.
(Cuts to Satanus on the couch)
Satanus: He actually said that? No, he actually said that?
(Cuts to Billy on the couch)
Billy: I’m gonna be. The best. Dad. Ever. No other dad will dad like I dad.
(Cuts to Satanus on the couch)
Satanus: *laughing too much to be human* Please—Please don’t—Make it stop! I can’t!

Did i die? no, I did not. However, I have been busy with life, and have been unable to post any finished art pieces for a long time, for I have had none. It's been all sketches and I am not fully comfortable posting them. That being said, I am starting to finish them….. So meet Metron! My new blorbo! I did make my own take on his look so it's not comic accurate, that being said I did use his comic variants as inspo to create my own. This version has the motherbox and the one without will be below so you can see his face better.
Tumblr media
This is the version without the motherbox! In this one you can see his face much better and see my version of his design easier. That being said, it lacks the dramatic flare sigh

Fourth World Ask Game
With Fourth World Week coming up, we'd decided to make an ask game similar to this one by @superfamilyweek. Much like with the superfam one, please don't send asks about this to this blog, only to the people who have rebloged this post.
Favourite Fourth World character?
Favourite ship?
Favourite friendship?
Which non-fourth world character would you like to integrate into the Fourth World?
New Gods or Mister Miracle or The Forever People?
Would you rather go to one of Scott's shows or hang out with the Forever People for a day?
Favourite Apokoliptian?
If you could change one thing about any of Kirby's Fourth World books, what would it be?
If you could give any Fourth World character a solo, who would it be?
Favourite New Gods run outside the original?
Favourite adaptation?
Would you rather have a Mother Box or a Super-Cycle?
Favourite appearance of a fourth world character outside of their books (example: Scott in JLI)
Do you prefer Lightray with long or short hair?
Give a Fourth World headcanon

Thinking of writing out sitcom-style scenes(not the ones with the laughing track)with the magic community/Fawcett heroes/Batson family. The potential is there.
Also imagine the hilarious couch scenes(you know, when they talk to the camera). I’m thinking about some done in a universe where Billy adopts Connor without anyone knowing his identity.
Like he comes into a meeting with other magic users and universal overlords with his mug that says “best dad ever”. Fate puts his head in his hand and Metron gives him a disappointed look 🤣

Honestly, I don't normally post sketches, but I decided to post some. Anyway, here's something I made for the fourth world Discord, specifically for their metron channel. Now this Discord is ran by @upagainstthesunset, which I've had such a blastbeing in! Now a lot of the art I have been posting will be "older" as I have a bit of a stockpile but thats only because I didn't feel like they were good enough to post, but now I don't really care. Lol, enjoy metron being harassed.
