Following the death of Darkseid, a cosmos-shattering prophecy begins, as Ram V and Evan Cagle reshape the mythology of the DC Universe!

An old god has died, and the reverberations of his passing are felt across the universe, setting forth the soldiers of an intergalactic army and awakening the latent powers of a mysterious child on Earth. But this has all been foreseen—prophesized by the Source and fed as enigmatic images to its agent, Metron.

Now, as Metron brings word of this cosmos-shattering prediction to the residents of New Genesis and Apokolips, both worlds are thrown into chaos and conflict. On Earth, Scott Free and Barda find themselves unaware of this incoming chaos while consumed with their most daunting task yet: parenthood.

The visionary team of writer Ram V (The Many Deaths of Laila Starr) and artist Evan Cagle (Superman and the Authority) bring the Fourth World to a whole new generation in this epic of cosmic proportions. An old god has died...the New Gods are born!

Fans of these compelling and unconventional Jack Kirby creations will be thrilled by this new imagining of the mythos! And current DC fans will be stunned to see how The New Gods fits into the DC All In initiative—and serves as a bridge between the DC Universe and Absolute Universe.

This volume collects The New Gods #1-6, the first half of the 12-issue saga.
Ram V is an Eisner-nominated, award-winning author and creator of comics & graphic novels such as Grafity's Wall, These Savage Shores, The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, and the Eisner-winning Blue In Green. Since publishing his first book in 2016, Ram’s work has gone on to garner critical and popular success, winning multiple awards. Ram has also written for iconic characters and titles such as Swamp Thing, Batman, and Aquaman.
