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.

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.

The Vision was great. Had dialogues 10 times better than here, even though the story itself wasn't that much there.

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

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.
