Hiatus

Do to circumstances beyond my control, the Newer Gods blog will be on hiatus for the remainder of 2019. Hopefully, we will return in the fall ready to deliver more classic New Gods stories and reviews.

We leave you with a Bill Sienkiewicz Darkseid to keep you company in the time being.

Art of War 07: Darkseid by Tyler Crook

Tyler Crook has worked all over comics, most notably on BPRD. His art is often moody and evocative but it wasn't until earlier this year I saw him turn his attention to the New Gods. His Darkseid is all kinds of epic. For more like this, definitely check out his website filled with amazing works.

Next week, it's back to regular updates as a great darkness spreads across the universe!

X-Mas Special: "Present Tense" by Ty Templeton

One of my all time favorite Christmas comic tales comes from the second DC Universe Holiday Bash from way back in 1997. It is a very simple two page affair, but it is honestly just an amusing juxtaposition of Santa in the DC Universe.

Thankfully, it has been heavily re-posted online, even by artist/writer Ty Templeton himself. So as Santa readies for his long ride in a few weeks, let's all find the answer to the question: what is Christmas like on Apokolips?

Don't you miss the days when Darkseid could be used for comedic purposes and no one was bothered by it? I know I do.

Art of War 05: Infinity Man and the Forever People by Arthur Adams!

Arthur Adams is a legendary talent, so it's no surprise his take on the weirdest cats in the Fourth World and their body changing buddy is all kinds of impressive for this edition of the Dreaded Deadline Doom!

Just a station note: next week we will have a special holiday edition before the regular columns return after that! Stay tuned!
