There wasn't much sense in it, but it was fun to read their dialogue, especially after finding out what was the purpose of it in the first place... But anyway, looks like since the next issue the story will finally be... um... just be? Like, the 6 issues weren't really about anything substantial at all. Only hints. So it's probably time for an actual plot.
Mister Miracle #6
The hit miniseries reaches the emotional conclusion of its first arc! Scott Free returns to New Genesis to face his punishment, but instead finds the whole world has been flipped upside down. Mister Miracle and Big Barda battle their way through monsters and New Gods to get to the Highfather, but once they reach Orion's throne room, they learn that...
Mister Miracle #5
How do you spend your last night on Earth? Why, with the one you love, of course! Having been condemned to death by the new Highmaster, Mister Miracle is going to have to return to New Genesis for his execution. Before he does, he and Big Barda go on one last date. But if Scott Free truly is infected by Darkseid, as Orion says, you can bet some dar...
It's good, but not as good as the slavering reviews would have you believe.
Mister Miracle #4
It's the trial of Mister Miracle! Orion and Lightray are convinced that Scott has become infected with Anti-Life and is working against them to bring down New Genesis. Scott must succumb to their interrogation and physical challenges to prove he's not what they say he is...but how do you speak truth to people who don't want to believe?
Okay, this may be goofy, but it was finally a fine issue, even though there wasn't much of anything.

It probably is a big deal that I am not familiar enough with the New Gods mythos/canon but this just did not fully connect with me which is also a responsibility of the storytelling. An annotated version would no doubt definitely improve the appreciation of the developments but probably should not factor into the first read rating. There are probably a lot of clues there. The art was okay. If this more

Portentous, pretentious, depressing, dull, padded, poorly paced. Why is everyone raving about this? There was about six seconds of interesting plot development, but this is otherwise another overrated dud from King, whose work has gone from incredible to miserable in three short years.
Mister Miracle #2
What do you do after the most death-defying act of your escape artist career? You go to war, of course! Scott Free has skipped out on his trip to the great beyond and taken a boom tube to New Genesis instead, where he and his wife, Big Barda, take on the invading hordes of Apokolips. Things are a little off, however, and Mister Miracle starts to do...
I'm with you king' s gone from great from miserable... but I did like the 1st arc of Batman
The Vision was great. Had dialogues 10 times better than here, even though the story itself wasn't that much there.
Not very friendly to readers new to the New gods, I just have believe more will be explained in following issues.

It's ok, but nowhere near the hype. Some of the "professional" reviewers can hold little credibility after their gushings in praise of the book.

I really just can't enjoy it. If I skipped the secret origin in the Director's cut edition of the first issue, I would definitely know nothing about this grandma. Why wasn't it like this in Vision? I mean, I literally knew nothing about Victor Mancha, but when he was used in the story I never had the nagging feeling that I needed to read Runaways... I don't know, some lines and moments are fine, b more

I'm here after King's Vision. And looks like the book isn't for people who knew nothing about Mister Miracle... The "secret origin" in the director's cut version of the issue got the necessary context, but I expected the character to be about something else... The story itself is a bit vague for now, the narration is really fragmentary and I'm not a fan of such stories. But anyway, maybe I like it more
Mister Miracle #1
From the team behind THE SHERIFF OF BABYLON and the Hugo Award-nominated writer of Vision comes a unique new take on one of Jack Kirby's most beloved New Gods.
Scott Free is the greatest escape artist that ever lived. So great that he escaped Granny Goodness' gruesome orphanage and the dangers of Apokolips to travel across galaxies and set up a...

The Vision wants to be human, and what's more human than family? So he heads back to the beginning, to the laboratory where Ultron created him and molded him into a weapon. The place where he first rebelled against his given destiny, and imagined he could be more - that he could be a man. There, he builds them. A wife, Virginia. Two teenage twins, ...
My only problem with this book is that it was too short and ended too fast. The writing was so cool I'd prefer it being the Stan Lee style comic book.

9.7 for 74 reviews... Insane. I think the finale isn't the best issue in the series. But yeah, overall it was indeed quite enjoyable.
Vision #12
• A while ago, a robot created a family. And all was good. For a while. Then came the murders. The lies. The betrayals. The battles fought. The battles lost. The family lost.
• And now, at the end, Vision stands alone. He must decide how he will go on, if he will go on, if he can go on. And that decision will shape the...

The Avengers draw a line in the sand. They tell Vision he is not to cross this line. If he does, they will destroy him. "Remember," they say. "You're an Avenger. First. Always." "Stay where you are," they say. "Don't cross the line," they say. Vision nods. He tells them he understands.
Then Vision crosses the line.
The end is coming fo...
