Tomorrow DC Comics’ returns to Jack Kirby’s legendary Fourth World for a brand new series, The New Gods. But today we’re sitting down with the series’ creative team to discuss giving these legendary characters a story of their own. For our latest interview podcast Neil is chatting with writer Ram V (Detective Comics) and artist Evan Cagle (Dawnrunner) about launching this huge new story.
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.
