Mitch Gerads has been a huge part of why this comic works too. In seeing his work for The Punisher, or Sheriff of Babylon its almost hard to believe that this is the same guy who drew those other comics. It evokes the same kind of free-wheeling grandiosity that defined Kirbys take, but without being beholden to it. The cheerful, yet eerily beaten take on Scott Free wouldnt work half as well without Gerads work here. Its also a ringer for one of the most gorgeous comics of the year. If youre going to jump on to Mister Miracle, now is pretty much going to be the time. Read Full Review

It's kind of hard to review a book like Mister Miracle #6. I mean, how many ways can you say it's brilliant? This is one of my favorite super-hero comics of the last bunch of years without a doubt. Tom King and Mitch Gerads continue to create something special, something that makes you want to buy an extra copy, find a stranger, and just give it to them as an example of what mainstream super-hero comics can do with a truly gifted creative team working at the peak of their powers and unafraid to unleash a unique vision.

Mister Miracle is so much more than just a comic book. Its the way King, Gerads, and Cowles are dealing with this world we live in and showing that there is probably no explanation for it. King seems to be saying that life is going to happen and its up to us to continue to live through it. The creators have done such beautiful work on this series so far that even if you read it just for fun there is so much here to enjoy. It is the epitome of what comic books are all about.

MISTER MIRACLE #6 by Tom King and Mitch Gerads is a masters class in what can be done with comics using the standard 3x3 panel structure. Read Full Review

If you've been following Mister Miracle since #1, you're already familiar with the sheer quality of this series. The story is riveting, heartbreaking, and still violent enough to keep readers on the edge of their seats. Artist Mitch Gerads manages to convey the world inside Scott's head through the style and coloration of the panels- a feat that takes Tom King's writing to even greater heights. If you know someone on the fence about starting Mister Miracle, or if you yourself have not actually read the title, I would absolutely encourage you to pick it up. This is a title that seems to get better with each issue, and an absolute must-read for any DC fan. Read Full Review

Mister Miracle is one of the most engaging, and thought-provoking comics I have encountered. Plus, the fact that it is well-rooted in Jack Kirby's Fourth World mythology make it even better. This was one of the best comics of 2017 and probably will be for 2018 as well. Read Full Review

The issue takes you on an action-packed yet retrospective journey and ends with a shocking final few pages. This has been an excellent series, and this issue may be its best. Read Full Review

Even as the walls are closing in around Barda and Scott, the incredibly creative team of King, Gerads and Cowles have never felt freer to be formally daring. Read Full Review

The most straightforward issue of the series so far is also quite surprising in both the humor, how relateable it is, and a shocking ending. King and Gerads are putting together comic of the year material here and with the first half being this good, I can't wait for the second. Read Full Review

Saying that Mister Miracle is a hit is an understatement; not only has Tom King and Mitch Gerard's mini-series been entertaining and thought provoking, it has also been one of the most quality-consistent works that I have ever read. Mister Miracle (2017-) #6 is another amazing issue and offers a fitting and exciting conclusion to the first arc which leaves readers eager to keep reading. Do not miss this book. Read Full Review

Tom King and Mitch Gerads have left a permanent mark on Jack Kirby's fourth world. Each issue makes Scott and Barda feel like people I could walk up to on the street and hold a conversation with. This issue adds to the humanization that King does best, as Cowles lettering ties the whole story together with an easy to read flow that doesn't take away from the art. Mister Miracle #6 was a flawless issue that I recommend for any fans of the series, character, or just fans of great stories and artwork. Read Full Review

New Genesis needs the Sloman's ShieldThe dialogue and action go hand in hand and I never get tired of seeing how Scott Free fights or uses his Aero-Discs on the offensive. I've never seen Mister Miracle be this physical in a series and I'm loving it. King and Gerads outdo themselves each issue. Barda and Mister Miracle are having a hell of a run and a hell of a year.

Its probably foolish to bet against them at this point, but its going to be tough to find many comics in 2018 that will top this issue. Yes, its the second week of the year, but Im feeling pretty confident. If youre not getting Mister Miracle, youve already figured out your first resolution for 2018. Read Full Review

This issue had it all. From a couple arguing about normal stuff, to blood and gore to crazy twists. Tom King and Mitch Gerads really out did themselves in this latest issue, might be one of my favorites. Mister Miracle has gone through so much that right when he feels like everything might be going perfect or at least better, we come to realize at its end that everything is far from perfect. I really hope Scott Free can finally find peace in his life soon because the ending of this issue will definitely mess up our poor Mister Miracle. Read Full Review

Mister Miracle #6 concludes the series' first arc with big reveals and a better understanding of what "Darkseid is" really means in an issue that continues to make Mister Miracle a strangely relatable psychological thrill ride. Read Full Review

Mister Miracle is a consistently beautiful and thoughtful book that works as well as a soft family dramedy as it does a wild sci-fi thriller. King has crafted a thoughtful, emotional look at trauma and recovery that embraces the idea that there’s no universal panacea for troubled childhoods except, perhaps, the devotion of a found family that lets you find yourself without leaving you adrift. Mister Miracle #6 marks the half-way point of the series and isn’t a stand-alone, but serves as an excellent introduction to the long history of Mister Miracle for newcomers to the Fourth World. For those who have been waiting, you’ll either want to hold out for the trades or start catching up from issue #1 digitally. Regardless of your medium, Mister Miracle #6 is an excellent read from a stellar series, and absolutely worth your time. Read Full Review

Mister Miracle is going to mean a lot of different things to different people depending on your connection to the character, Jack Kirby's work, and the larger themes that Tom King is bringing into it. Even with all of these larger elements there's also a very simple and accessible storyline playing where those new to it can enjoy it a great deal and hopefully want to explore the character more. This issue is just a whole lot of fun even while dealing with some darker aspects of what's going on and it left me grinning while wondering how well they'd actually handle a reno " and if they'd do it themselves or get someone in. I still can't get over how strikingly beautiful this book looks as it delivers something really special here in each issue " and eventually in a fantastic single volume read. Read Full Review

Once again, King and his team expertly use the medium to deliver an exciting, unexpectedly cool comic book story. Read Full Review

It's not for everyone - but it's loaded with promise. Read Full Review

Of course, none of this would be possible without the great timing and of Tom Kings accomplice, Mitch Gerads whose job it is to choregraph the fight while King focuses on the showing how oblivious Scott Free can be. There are a few scenes that are not very clear, such as when the couple literally pull the guts of the aquarium monster to use as a vine and some of the movements between panels in the fight. The backgrounds are very similar so sometimes, it is not clear where the comic is moving to. Read Full Review

Tom King and Mitch Gerads are halfway through their story, and they continue to do magnificent things. I never knew an issue that contained so much talk about home improvement could be amazing. Read Full Review

Another solid installment, though it uses a story convention that can't sustain an entire issue. Read Full Review

"Mister Miracle" #6 is another great building block to what will surely be a Tom King and Mitch Gerads phenomenal series. Read Full Review

In an uneventful and unfunny issue, King and Gerads end the first arc of their acclaimed series. This issue is pretty bad; it's paced poorly, the dialogue is contrived, the humour doesn't work, and nothing happens in the issue. Save for some repeated poses, the art is mostly nice and is coloured wonderfully. Read Full Review

Halfway through this maxi-series and I still have no clue what's going on.  Sometimes, if I'm having fun, I can go with an enjoy the ride philosophy, but Mister Miracle is a frustrating read that makes me wonder if Tom King is making it up as he goes.  I still hope that it all ties together by the end and thus, reads best in trade, but as individual issues go, I am far from onboard the hype train. Read Full Review

Darkseid doesn’t do.

This issue has the best use of negative space I’ve seen in comic for a long time.

A glamourously graphic visceral rollercoaster ride of an issue. Darkseid Is.

Tom King and Mitch Gerard’s Mister Miracle is weird, and layered, it’s heartfelt, and insane. It’s as complex as the protagonist of this odyssey Scott free and big Barda. There is a lot going on. This issue in particular managed to both fill me with joy and dread in an instant. I am invested in this book despite its refusal to let a reader get comfortable with it’s narrative. All I have to go on is that I am as confused as Scott and possibly Barda. King and Gerard’s are putting out their best work, and as this series keeps going farther down the rabbit hole that is the conflict of the fourth world. I am anxious and ready to see what traps lay before Big Barda and Mister Miracle.

WARNING: SCOTT WILL GET RID OF THE CIGAR BOXES NOW

Every issue of MISTER MIRACLE is better than the one preceeding it and #6 is no exception. The panels following the revelation for why the new room was needed...Scott and Barda's reactions and interactions...made for a perfect moment. THIS is why I still read comics 30 years later. If you're not reading MISTER MIRACLE you're doing yourself a disservice.
SCORE: 9.4

The dialogues were great and the overall paneling is stunning. The ending was crazy. This was an amazing ending of an arc and, knowing the creators, the second one will be only better.

Unstoppable

I thought the conversation was dragging along a little too long, and then you see why. A shrewd commentary by King on how our childhoods affect our priorities as adults is a sneaky-important part of the narrative here, and Gerads' action-packed panels are the perfect juxtaposition for philosophizing and the seeming inanity of the conversation. Fantastic work yet again, King/Gerads.

Yet another incredible issue. Gerads surpassed himself and the two plot-twists at the end are incredible. It would be great now to get some clearer answers in the "Darkseid is" deal.

This one left me SLIGHTLY less impressed than the five previous issues. I thought the discussion about the condo dragged on too long and the jokes fell a bit flat, but overall, it still is a very solid comic and probably the most interesting on the stands right now. The visual are the key at making it what it is, as with the others before, but this time even more considering the dialogue has litterally nothing to do with what's going on for the most part on the story. We are treated with some nice and varied use on the 9 panels grid and the same Gerads style and coloring that made the success of this series. The Bid Barda revelation at the end makes all the weirdness go away, but we're hit again by another revelation right after that gives everything another layer of dread and dakrness. Read this one folk, I can't ever tell this enough. more

Honestly, this is the first issue of Mister Miracle I've read that left me thinking, 'yeah, I get it'. The big themes of family, belief, and zany super-hero/sci-fi action/fun shine through. There's a couple pages of just fantastic use of the 9-panel grid. A couple of huge reveals make this perhaps the most significant issue of the series so far. I'm more excited about the second half of the series now than I expected to be going in. Hats off to King and Gerads!

Good not great. Clever story experiment - but after 10 pages of the shtick it got a tad monotonous.

This book doesn't really know what story it wants to tell. King does his thing with them and comes way off. Another clever device that doesn't land the concept of a couple figuring it out as they go mundanely through their crazy life. I get why Barda is doing what she's doing but we still don't know what Scott is really doing and this issue gets you no closer to that.

I hate to say it but each issue gets worse for me. I feel like the focus has been less on Scott's crazy reality trip and more on quippy, pseudo-intelligent banter. I get how King writes, I do, but I can't help but think back to other books, such as The Vision and Omega Men, that had purposeful, impactful dialogue. Don't get me wrong, I love that we even have a book with Scott and Barda and I think they are great characters to do this kind of thing with, but the problem is we have been wanting real answers of some sort for awhile, and reaching the halfway point, I'm still being let down. This issue has a decent ending, and I am really hoping actual things can start happening again. King hasn't let me down in any of his other books. He has 6 issues to redeem himself in my eyes, and I trust him. I don't think this book is deserving of the perfect 10s reveiwers have been consistently giving it, but it's still a good quality comic. Let's see where the rest of this crazy ride goes, and hope it isn't hit with delays like too many of DC's more anticipated books. more

The first mis-step in what's been an excellent series. The juxtaposition of everyday dialogue with Scott and Barda fighting for their lives is a bit too cute, and drags on a bit too long. I got bored, frankly. Also, their blasé attitude toward killing guards felt a bit tacky, and made me think less of them as characters.

I’m not sure how this books is so critically acclaimed. Honestly I feel a lot of comic fans are easily wowed if a comic is some what clever and “smart”. Tom King has the tendency to write like someone trying really hard to write something groundbreaking And doesn’t quite pull it out. This issue was pretty boring in my opinion, with very weak dialogue. The art is excellent as always though. I’m glad readers are enjoying the series but it definitely does not live up to the hype.

I think this issue was trying to be *too clever*. Like look-at-me-I'm-a-genious clever. Don't try so hard, Tom.

All momentum is just gone. There is no tension. It's just a conversation with beatiful drawings. We feel nothing and everything that happens here can be summarized in just one sentence.
