Mister Miracle #7

[laughing_tree]

No one can out-Kirby Kirby. You can’t make an epic as great as he did. It’s like trying to make Star Wars again, or like trying to rewrite the Iliad. You can take those grand cosmic space opera themes and internalize them and use them to tell a very personal story. -- Tom King

Love the recontextualization of the Lump.

to be fair, all babies look like that...

All babies look like Winston Churchill

That heart beat monitor scene was too damn real. I feel like no one can really prepare you for how fucking terrifying the whole "bringing a baby into the world" thing is.

Hell yes. And then afterwards the two of you stare down at this new little creation and go "Now what?" Because there's no manual, no rules.

And it's incredible. :)

why does Tom King want to hurt us.... and why do I love him for it?!

[mesmiranda]

I have to admit, he's steadily creeping up there in my list of "favorite comic writers".

[leoboiko]

I'm already way past the point where I'll get anything with his name on the cover.

"The Joker runs Gotham City!" …meh, zero interest. Go away—"by Tom King!" omg gimme gimme

My god, this issue was hilarious. Best "Sitcom episode about a pregnancy" I've seen.

Wait. "Grandson of Darkseid" but "son of Highfather"? What did I miss?

[cricharddavies]

Among other things, the scans above showing Bernadeth referring to Scott as Highfather.

So apparently Scott is Highfather now.

Jeez, you turn your back for a minute... (and thank you).

I have a feeling about where this is going, and I really, really, desperately want to be wrong. But that's Tom King for you.

I like to think this is how Jack Kirby described all his kids after they were born.
