As N’Vir and the Core seek to conquer New Genesis, Shilo and Oberon cross the galaxy to stop N’Vir’s plans. Outnumbered and outgunned, Shilo meets another unexpected ally who can fill in the final pieces of the puzzle of what it means to be Mister Miracle. But a tragic secret from the far future could be an obstacle that not even the New Gods can overcome.
There's too much story left to wrap it all in one issue so hopefully DC already has this creative team working on the sequel or an ongoing book to keep Shilo in the monthly rotation. Read Full Review
Mister Miracle: The Source of Freedom #5 is a must-read based on the art alone, but the writing is top tier and a masterful exploration of what it means to be Mister Miracle! Go get a copy wherever you get your comics! Read Full Review
There may still be some tricks hidden within this story, but it will require quite a few of them to make this narrative lock into the grander Fourth World Saga and any greater meaning. Read Full Review
Why is it this is the part of the series that actually feels any good? Rhetorical question, I know my feelings when it comes to this Elseworld's Shilo and how his internal conflict was handled. But maybe it's finally getting N'vir's motivations and how there's more to it when it comes to the truth of it. Especially since how different this Earth compared to the mainline's version. I have a feeling that N'Vir isn't the real villain, just a puppet.
This was a messy issue. I'm kind of just waiting for it to end now.
