Everyone knows that James Gunn’s DCU is evolving slowly and that we are going to see its first proper cinematic outing next year. At the same time, DC Comics is publishing its stories, and some of these amazing storylines pique our interest from time to time, which is why we report on them.

In this report, we are going to talk about an upcoming comic book series that will explore the cosmic lore of the world of DC Comics, the same one created by legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby many decades ago. DC is now going back to that part of the lore and is going to explore it anew, and it seems that the series is going to be amazing.

The upcoming The New Gods series will launch in December this year and will explore the New Gods originally created by Jack Kirby; the first issue, whose preview we are going to bring you here, focuses on Darkseid’s son Orion, showing off that the overlord’s kin is as powerful and dangerous as the father.

The upcoming The New Gods series will be written by Ram V with art by Evan Cagle and Jorge Fornés, and the first issue is set for a December 18, 2024 release. The series will follow the New Gods, and based on what we’ve seen, Darkseid’s son, Orion, will have a big role in the series (or, at least, its initial issues).

As fans of the series will know, Orion has long been in the shadow of his tyrannical father. And while everyone knew that Orion was a powerhouse, when compared to Darkseid, he wasn’t really a character that could stand on his own.

This series seems to finally provide Orion with the necessary storyline to make him a truly formidable character and we are looking forward to seeing it.

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.

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!

AIPT also provided us with a proper preview of the series, so if you want to see more images from the upcoming comic book, please follow this link. It is definitely worth it.

Ultimately, it seems that The New Gods is going to be a very exciting series that fans of DC Comics will be able to enjoy in a proper way. As we’ve said, the series debuts in December 2024, and it will be an ongoing series, so there will be a lot to see, which is absolutely great!
