I can't recomend this noisily enough. The style and the art work might just be a briliant pastiche of Kirby at his most cosmic,
New Gods especially as the title gives away, but the actual storylines and especially the characters have the zing of the new about them. The baddies particularly are an inspired bunch - Basil Chronus is one of the best original designs in years, and Nickelhead is just so damn
suave. In parts it reminds me a lot of those issues of
Madman where Allred would have Frank go a bit woozy, aprehend the nature of the universe and then get attacked by kung-foo robots. Fun for all the family then, and the whole run so far is now out in one handy TPB - So if you buy just one trade this month make it...well, make it that collection of Alan Moore DCU stuff, or the first book of
Seven Soldiers. But if, y'know, you're after a third...
G0DLand.
