Action-packed, dynamic, and explosive from the moment you start reading every issue about Darkseid's attempt to control our world and anti-life. If you recall the beginning of George Lucas's original Star Wars in 1977 with Dar'th Vader's ship attacking a ship of the Rebel Alliance in search of stolen plans, that is how Kirby starts all his stories. The reading audience is thrust into the story in an explosive manner, visually speaking, and plot-wise. One wonders if Lucas's mythical future may have been influenced by Kirby's style of narrating.Kirby brings back to life old material: his Newsboys Legion and its Guardian; and makes up new characters and new worlds. The Forever People and their Infinity Man; Scott Free, alias Miracle Man; and the Gods from New Genesis, Orion, Lightray, Metron, and the Black Racer; and more importantly, the super villain and God from Apokalops, Darkseid. His new heroes and villains have powers never heard of before, and the characterizations of Scott Free and Orion have the complexity that we rarely see in many comics characters. The new worlds are New Genesis and Apokalips, at war with each other; and there is also The Wild Area, where subcultures, such as the Outsiders with their motorcycles and the Hairies live. Each comics is also imbued with techno-gadgetry such as the Forever People's Super Cycle and Mother Box, the Newsboys Legion's Whiz Wagon, and Mr. Miracle's own smaller version of Mother Box as well as other gadgets he uses to escape traps set out by his enemies.I really enjoyed reading each one of these stories. It was a visual and literary experience. Although it is said above that you get to read this saga in chronological order, that is not necessary. In the forward you will find out that Forever People 1, The New Gods 1, and Mr. Miracle 1 were written before the first three Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen issues. I did read them in the same order offered by the volume, but I reread them again by titles. I thought it was awkward to leave each title with those enticing cliffhangers just to start on a whole different title.In sum, reading this was a positive experience for someone who enjoys comics, or enjoys reading, period.
