DC’s New Comic Book Series Unleashes the Full Potential of Darkseid’s Son, Orion

by

As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast with over two decades of immersion in the DC Universe, I can confidently say that the upcoming “The New Gods” series is shaping up to be an exhilarating addition to the DC Comics roster. Having traversed the cosmos alongside Orion and Darkseid countless times in my gaming adventures, I am particularly intrigued by the prospect of witnessing this epic saga unfold in a fresh, compelling narrative.

It’s common knowledge that James Gunn’s DC Universe is gradually taking shape and will make its first major cinematic appearance next year. Simultaneously, DC Comics is releasing their stories, and occasionally, intriguing storylines from these publications catch our attention, which is why we share updates about them.

In this article, we’ll delve into a fresh comic book series set in the universe of DC Comics – a cosmic mythology initially conceptualized by renowned comic artist Jack Kirby years ago. Recently, DC has chosen to revisit this aspect of their lore and it appears that this new series promises to be nothing short of spectacular.

In December of this year, the “The New Gods” series will debut, delving into the New Gods conceived by Jack Kirby. The initial issue, which we’ll give you a sneak peek at here, primarily focuses on Orion, Darkseid’s son. It demonstrates that Orion, like his overlord father, is equally powerful and threatening.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m super excited to share that “The New Gods” series is coming up next year, penned by Ram V with stunning artworks from Evan Cagle and Jorge Fornés. This epic tale is set to hit the shelves on December 18, 2024. The story revolves around the New Gods, and if the previews are anything to go by, Orion, Darkseid’s son, looks like he’ll play a major part, at least in the early issues. Can’t wait to dive into this cosmic adventure!

Fans of the series will recognize that Orion has often been overshadowed by his oppressive father, Darkseid. Although it was clear that Orion possessed immense power, he lacked the depth to establish himself as a standalone character. However, this new series appears to offer Orion the plot he needs to transform into a truly formidable figure, and we’re eagerly anticipating its development.

As per AIPT, the official description of the series reveals the following:

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.

In this grand, cosmic tale, Ram V and Evan Cagle introduce the Fourth World anew for contemporary readers. The demise of an ancient deity paves the way for the emergence of the New Deities!
