Yeah it feels like he's kind of missing the point. It's not like Kirby made Orion's internal struggles some grand secret either. They straight up tell you in New Gods lol

What was Grant Morrison's take on Orion? I know he appeared in his JLA run and was murdered in Final Crisis.

What are the best recent releases from DC involving the New Gods? Especially Metron and Mister Miracle? Ive read Final Crisis and Darkseid War, really liked both of them but I was wondering if there was anything else released around the same time I should check out? Anything during or right before New 52? Anything written by Johns or Morrison?

He hasn't really gone too in depth in what I've read so far. Mostly a really angry guy who is very passionate. But it's also a team comic with rotating members so none of the characterization is very deep.
Seven Soldiers of Victory has Mister Miracle and Darkseid and is really good.
JLA by Morrison has Orion and Barda as team members and there's a really fun Darkseid arc. It's a great team book.
They're not super recent but they're still pretty modern. JLA is one of the best modern team comics.
Depends on your definition of recent, but Orion by Walter Simonson (2000-2002) was great.
Hopefully I can now score the already-published 4-volume set of the Fourth World Saga for cheap. I just don't like huge unwieldy omnibuses.

The price for the paperbacks have fallen a good bit. Fortunately I sold mine early to fund the omnibus.

I'm not personally interested in any of the upcoming New Gods stuff, as I have yet to read Kirby's New Gods. I don't want to read other people's takes on the characters before I've read them the way they were originally written.
This described my experience reading EoW. I was really drawn to all the characters and creatures but it felt so much like everyone was a moving piece. I'm someone who is really all about characters over world or plot, so I think Hickman might always be a challenge for me.

Yeah I still need to finish JLA but I loved what ive read so far, especially Rock of Ages.
Still havent read Seven Soldiers but ive been meaning too for a long time.
Thanks for the recommendations. I was hoping there would have been something else from either Morrison or Johns, but I guess thats pretty much it from what I could find searching.
Had Metron been used anywhere recently? Aside from Final Crisis and Darkseid War, I dont think ive read much at all with him in it but he seems like a really cool character. Shame Morrison didnt get to play more with the New Gods. I really liked how Johns turned Mister Miracles story into a heist style story. Cant wait to see King's version.

Get this man on a book starring Darkseid:
I like how Darkseid looks like he wants to make an offer before fucking you up.

Darkseid: Earth One would be cool.
Start with a young Uxas growing up, him taking on the Omega Force and transforming into Darkseid and end with the treaty with New Genesis and a tease of him preparing for the first invasion of Earth.

Mine arrived today. Fairly cool cover on the DJ. The printing on the inside front is a nice attempt but they could have put a little more effort into the printing on the rear of the HC.
Not that much more expensive than the complete collections if you buy in week 1.
Got around to unboxing my other recent orders too.

Who was it that was asking for suggestions for young hero books from that time period? mreddie? Kid Loki should be on that list.

I bought it too. Should be coming in the next couple days.
To be fair, it's a take on Orion as seen through the lens of Mister Miracle. Like, yeah, obviously, the constant struggle to be our better selves is the core of Orion's story, but that's just Orion's story, and if you look at it from another angle, it's kinda piss compared to Miracle's struggle to escape a system and a society that has been designed from the ground-up to crush your individual will until you're subservient to its ruling power in both mind and body.
Like, obviously, the ultimate point is that, of course, Scot escapes, and, of course, through love he manages to take someone with him, meaning that Darkseid's defeat is that much bigger. It is still incredibly fucked up to send your child to something that's literally called "The Terror Orphanage".

This might answer my question if I remembered which issues comprised the Sif stories. BUT ALAS I DO NOT.

Man, I'm so behind on Marvel omnis. I have been needing to pick up Daredevil by Brubaker Vol. 1 and 2, Legion, and Journey Into Mystery, and I haven't got any of them yet.
Daredevil has been because the price per page value is just kind of crappy. The first volume is 600 pages at $100 and the second volume is 470 pages at $75. There are plenty of books I want with that page count and much cheaper, so it's hard to buy those.

I read something with Stompa in the past week or so but I can't remember what it was. I read so much over the last week.
Edit: oooh it was Suicide Squad by Ostrander Vol. 1. Man that was driving me crazy.
Probably Suicide Squad, Ostrander did great things with the Furies.

Totally thought that said Furries for a second.
That storyline on Apokolips is honestly my favorite Suicide Squad story ever
