>A universe away, twin worlds dance in tandem...
Orion is beset by doubts and questions,
But answers are hard to find for one like him,
And his journey will take him to familiar places,
On a collision course with a fate he thought denied.
This is-
Walter Simonson's Orion
And here we go...
This hasn't been done in a while, so why not?
Neat
Working my way through your 4th World storytime right now

Oh wow, hope you're enjoying that.
While this breaks off from Byrne's run, it does serve as a nice follow up to that in many respects.
Was Orion banging his mom in this?
Part 2:
wherein the gang is back on the road
Well, that's fantastic
My favorite issue is the one with no dialog.
>>94623377
So good
>>94623015
>No further intercourse with idiots
>Used to bang Darkseid
Pottery?
Part 3:
wherein who could forget Takion?
I sure did
I want to fuck tigra
What a great concept for a character.
>>94623524
Some sort of tiger in the sack pun would be appropriate.
>>94623524
That might be that Tiger-Force Darkseid was talking to Godfrey about way back when.
>>94623561
It just seems so obvious now that you mention it.
These back ups started strong.
Aww, but it's missing a panel where Darkseid punts toddler Kalibak into a ravine.
>that recommended reading
Smart man
Part 4:
wherein sleeves are the new hotness
>>94623645
>Darkseid heard you were talking shit
>>94623712
Nothing is secret from Darkseid!
>>94622920
I really don't like this, it reads like discount Thor. Here's a bump though.
>>94623736
Haha, yeah I've heard that before.
I can see that, but I really like the effort.
Thanks!
>>94623158
He does bang Darkseid's main squeeze
Throws the whole thing off balance, I have to warn you Darkseid.
I usually don't include letters pages...but I find these fascinating.
Part 5:
wherein actions and words
Part 6:
wherein long live Orion
Oh Darkseid....what a weirdo.
Part 7:
wherein back on the hunt
>>94622933
Aw hell yeah.
Part 8:
wherein they are the Elite for a reason
>>94622920
Seems interesting.
>>94624823
It holds up outside of some modern eccentricities and holdovers from previous stuff.
Part 9:
wherein disaster encroaches
Truly the best non-Kirby Fourth World. Leagues above Byrne's terrible run, at the very least.
Thanks, Dave.
>>94625053
The opening volleys and ending spread are really great hits.
>>94624110
>the kid with the icecream next to a goddess.
wew.
>>94625239
The border flourishes in this run are really aces.
This can only end well
Part 10:
Last issue of the thread!
And that's it for today!
Will finish this up tomorrow.
See you then!
>>94625239
I thought that was Jimmy Olsen with a microphone.
>>94625740
Ah fuck you're right.
But in the defense...I kinda forgot they were there.
damn.
The concepts explored are a very good mix of Sci fi, mythology and comic book pulpiness
>>94625968
That's how it should be
>>94625458
if dc hadn't cancelled the book he had planned a whole storyline where orion frees Sirius just to show the differences between the Old Gods and New Gods.
>>94625468
I really wish Art Adams drew more comics. He went the cover artist route like Glenn Fabry and Brian Bolland
>>94622920
Fuck yeah. Best New Gods series not actually done by Kirby. Thanks for spreading it around, m'man.
>>94624613
So it's Thor's belt. Subtle Walt
>>94627293
Kirby added an extra "u" to Baldur's name when discussing the Old Gods, so the bar for that is rather low, fair play.
>>94627291
No problem, it really put in the work to get the proper mindset of tone and atmosphere.
>>94627293
> There came a time when the Old Gods died
Except for the Greek ones
>>94622920
Always loved this one, thanks.
>>94623736
So far it's been pretty shitty. I heard this was good New Gods but so far I'm disappointed.
>>94630340

Drawing a monochrome on the borders of the page was a stroke of genius. But I have to ask: am I the only one who thought the fight itself was underwhelming?
>>94637071
My feeling about simonson in general.
