This issue is everything the series has been previously "" defined by its nine-panel grids, stunning rendered by artist Mitch Gerads and King's concoction of gallows humor, poignant conversation and brief observations on Earth's mundanities; sometimes all at once. Read Full Review

Mister Miracle is a harrowing tale of heartbreak and bravery, a symphony of emotion that challenges our understanding of superhero storytelling. Drawing deep from the well of DC history and personal experience, King & Gerads imbue each issue with mystery, love and compassion. It dazzles our eyes while gently reminding us of what it means to be human. Read Full Review

What makes Mister Miracle such a special series is how emotionally resonant the story and its characters are. It takes you on a roller coaster of feelings and you fear for every drop but also look forward to what comes next. Two more issues left and you hope things are as uncertain as there were in issue #1. This whole time I've been sitting back and enjoying the ride, but I really don't want this to end. Read Full Review

This series has it all: humour, action, drama, suspense, pathos, and a reverential treatment of Kirby's creations. Plus it has a nice allegorical poke at Kirby's partner and nemesis, Stan Lee. With Mister Miracle, King is doing the King proud. Read Full Review

Mister Miracle #10 is one of the best portrayals of domestic strife and a relationship under pressure that I've ever seen. Read Full Review

Its counterintuitive, and in this case almost monstrous, to think of choosing to do nothing to stop a war that could claim millions over the comfort of a single child. And yet. Isaac was not meant to be sacrificed, truly. And these creators know that. His mother knows it. The drama lies in the escape, not the sacrifice. Read Full Review

So far, Mister Miracle has been a standout book, but this issue transcends what has come before, hitting a new level of brilliance. Read Full Review

Scott considers making a terrible personal sacrifice for the greater good. It's insane when you actually think about it, but to Scott it sort of makes sense. King and Gerads unpack this struggle in simple but powerful ways and show how our personal demons mess with our thought process. Read Full Review

From Scott's worrying, to the cashier's answer, to Scott's impossible question; Gerads continues to be the perfect pairing to bring these characters to life with Tom King. Read Full Review

The art by Gerads is great. He rightfully got the Eisner Award this year. This is an amazing series. I guarantee that it'll be viewed as a classic in the years to come. It's that good. Read Full Review

The issue is an amazing insight into Scott's desperation which spreads throughout the issue and culminates in an awesome ending where he decides he wants to kill Darkseid. I cannot wait for the next issue and I expect it is going to be incredible. Read Full Review

This issue ends on a very ominous note and it will be very interesting to see what King and Gerard's have in store for the penultimate issue. Read Full Review

Mitch Gerads has a lot of fun this issue. It may be false positive but Scott Free sports various T-shirts from members of the Justice League and even one of the Sheriff of Babylon! None of this may have any meanings but its fun to see. I recently compared Gerads nine-panel grid with Gary Franks. While Frank focuses subject-to-subject transitions, Gerads uses many repetitions and moment-to-moment transitions. Even though the nine-panel grid has become a fetish and stylistic trick to mark authoritative comic book authorship instead of the genuine, each artist still manages to use it in unique ways.

Mister Miracle puts out leads into an impossible spot and forces them to figure out how to deal with it. While a solution is come up with you can see how fraught with problems it is and just how disastrously bad it can go, even if it's the only real one besides simply giving in. And admittedly, that would make for an engaging story to move forward with. King and Gerards takes us through the complicated emotional aspect of this in regards to the relationship at hand and that makes for some really discomforting moments of humanity for all involved.

"Mister Miracle" continues to find new ways to recontextualize superhero comics, and issue 10's finale will leave fans of this series anticipating the final two issues with as much excitement as dread. Read Full Review

This comic is madness in all the best ways imaginable, and I both love it and hate it in nearly equal measure for that. Read Full Review

I'm really not sure if this series is trying to build a new reality around the character or just make fun of past incarnations. And I suspect we won't get any real answers until the end of this mini-series (and maybe not even then). But so far, it's compelling stuff. Read Full Review

Mister Miracle #10 is another great chapter in the miniseries, with a lot of pain and a little hope. Read Full Review

The series is interesting and unique.  But, maybe the problem is our expectations? What if this series was never meant to be an M. Night Shyamalan movie? What if it was just meant to be King's take on humanity, depression, every man, and the struggles of life all through the vantage point of a DC comic character? If that's the case, I think this series is spot on! If you're reading this for some DC mind-shattering event, I just don't think we're going to get it. Read Full Review

The tone and unclear ideas in this issue's script are essentially saved by continually excellent work from Gerads and Cowles. Read Full Review

Mister Miracle #10 grapples with the impossible question posed to Scott and Barda at the end of last issue: would they sacrifice their baby to stop the war with Apokolips? Mister Miracle has dealt with these sorts of terrible and impossible choices with a deft sense of gallows humor, but honestly a lot of the "humor" just falls flat this issue. Read Full Review

That Stan Lee and Jack Kirby homage tho'

Incredibly emotional and honest issue. This is the best comic book being published, possibly ever.

Darkseid is!

I don’t want this series to end!

Yes.
(But also, please dont give him away, Scott!)

Stareater! Words and images. Get there you will know what I mean. Genius

Feels like things are about to go wrong. Can't wait for the next issue.

How is it that each issue seems to be better than the last? Each issue punches me somewhere. This one punched me everywhere. It knocked the air out of my everything. King and Gerads are playing this title with the sensitivity and relatability of (pick your favorite) Elliott Smith.

Holy fuck how can a single book keep getting better every single issue

Great advice mr cashier.

The tightest/most grounded issue of the series so far - it never registered emotionally in the same way as previous entries. But Scott in the shower was INTENSE.

A lot better! More of this please, as we finish off this series, hopefully well. Most important change here is the dialogue is *relevant* and moves the story along.

I am still super worried that the payoff/reveal of the canonical impact of this will be a disconsolately creative choice. But it's impossible to disagree with the high ratings this issue deserves in itself at face value. Skirting around Scott's dumb suicide decision still bothers me. But at least it was finally noted as a storypoint here.

Sorry.

Im involved in the story but i wanna know whats going on already. 2 more issues i really hope the ending pays off.

This is another good issue in the series. I think Tom King's writing is excellent, not to mention well-complimented by Mitch Gerad's art. This is a powerful and emotional issue. It presents tragedy and comedy together almost better than Shakespeare. If I have to be a stickler I will say the resolution to the conflict between Barda and Scott was resolved way too abruptly and quickly, but it still played out to be a good issue. This remains the only series to show Mister Miracle having a bender with Blue Beetle and Booster Gold and then perfectly transition to Scott's extremely powerful internal crisis about whether or not to give his son to Darkseid.

While some characters act in character and others aren't and I can't get what King is really doing. It always looks cleverly straight forward with a hammer falling and falling that never arrives for 10 issues and man is that a heavy drag. It only works if you care for the characters and I couldn't care less about these mythological characters thinking they are Gods while being as human as it gets. The concept of Gods going through mundane lives is flawed and it just doesn't work. After 10 issues I just don't care for the resolution but still with 2 to go you have to finish.

Really good series. But this issue was just boring and dumb. The writing was subpar.

Why would some random store clerk be so chatty and "insightful" about sacrificing a child? And Barda is pissed about the topic involving giving up their son for the whole issue, then when he plans a ruse with his son as the distraction, she's all chill and lovey?

Maybe I'm just sick of King and his bullshit dialogues. Still love the art and layout though.
