    The New Gods #7 is a testament to Ram V's exceptional writing, perfectly balancing cosmic wonder with deeply human stories. Its bold themes, rich emotional depth, and quiet power truly resonate. The incredible teamwork between Cagle's art and Segala's colors creates a stunning and impactful experience. This issue is a masterclass in recontextualizing Kirby's iconic characters, presenting them as vulnerable survivors, and redefining their mythos while championing empathy and moral choices.

    This issue doesn't have much of the action of the first arc past the first few pages, but it's no less compelling. It's easy to forget that New Genesis and Apokalips are essentially long-estranged brothers, and there are some fascinating new implications to come out of this issue that hint at some big things going forward.

    Balances spectacle with substance. Ram V continues to use the grandeur of cosmic mythology to tell deeply human stories. Evan Cagle's distinctive line work, paired with Francesco Segala's atmospheric colors, gives the issue a visual identity that feels both otherworldly and emotionally grounded. Read Full Review

    The New Gods #7 is a poignant turning point in Ram Vs already-acclaimed run. It's bold in theme, rich in tone, and quietly powerful. If youve followed the journey since Issue #1, this installment rewards your investment. And if you're new to the title, this might be the most accessible and emotionally human entry point yet.

    The New Gods have made their way to Earth, but at what cost? Ram Vs stellar writing fluctuates between a vast cast of characters. Moore and Cagle usher in the JLUs appearance with strong art. Only time will tell where events lean into with a future uncertain. Read Full Review

    Ram V hasnt been perfect with his execution of the series in the half-year leading-in to this issue. Some issues are better than others. This is one of the good ones. Its been interesting seeing him move through the motions with an old ensemble, but its enjoyable seeing them work on the page. Read Full Review

    If Ram V is smart, and if he decides to keep the "refugees welcome" storyline, he will make it a little more nuanced than that. Maybe writing an arc where one of the gods actually does something bad and treats earth like his or her playground. Because that would be an actual commentary on today's politics, like, are ALL refugees welcome? Every single one of them? Even the ones who will kill a random baby with a knife? Or, in the case of the DC universe, a god who would cause a death and not feel remorse for that? I mean, the people from Apokolips are there.

    The New Gods are thriving as Ram V and Evan Cagle deliver a visual feast and narrative. The universal Opera takes shape as the players arrive on earth the stage has been set.

    I don't know. This just isn't working for me. I kind of find it boring.

    Very disappointing that Ram V totally messed up with Hal Jordan and John Stewart's characteristics. Hal is all about defying authority while John is the one who takes orders and follows the rules. Ram V reversed their roles just to prop up John and make Hal look bad. I feel that DC writers these days just can't write John Stewart without shitting on Hal Jordan.
