Orion has ordered the execution of Mister Miracle, but Big Barda and Scott refuse to go down easy. They take the fight to New Genesis and the new Highfather.
Mister Miracle is a series that mixes the dramatic, the funny, the sad, and the surreal oh so well. The nonchalant conversations that take place during intense situations are a staple to the series. The best part is that they almost always pay off, either with a huge surprise or something funny. Tom King does an excellent job of keeping readers off balance by lulling them into a false sense of security. Even as Big Barda and Mister Miracle shred through Orion’s guards, I was intensely focused on the conversation about remodeling their apartment. As expected it pays off in a big way, but the journey through New Genesis was captivating even without it. Amazingly, that wasn’t even the most shocking part. The reread the final few pages multiple times.
This issue kept ramping up and by the end, I couldn’t wait to go relive it again and again. We don’t know yet where this series stands in the context of the DC Universe continuity, but that ending is sure to get a pop from any reader. This is one of the best issues in what is turning out to be a classic series.
