I haven't had the opportunity to read or buy it rn due to buying the DC finest and the 84 New Gods reedition, but I'm so excited, gonna buy it when I can

New Gods x Undertale, do y'all think the souls fits?

Hi guys, I want to do a New dynamic, ask y'all different Fourth World adaptations, gonna describe my opinion in general of the adaptations and then say which one is my favorite, y'all can do the same or just say your fav adaptation, It's in your decission

-ZSJL: We start with a mixed feelings adaptation, I loved how Darkseid looks and the granite-faced dictator is great adapted, still, I don't like monster Desaad, just miss the point of the character and the same with Granny, they went with SteppenWolf with a more New52 style than Kirby's and I hate that, New 52 design is just too generic and boring and I prefer the traditional weird Hunter of Kirby, then in story in general, I like the idea of adapting Rock of Ages as it is my fav JLA/Darkseid story, but ignoring all of New Genesis, being non-existence, deleting Orion and HighFather; man what a mess, turning the Mother Box into Mcguffins was horrible, at the end, I didn't like it.

-TTGO!: I added this because I am a big fan of Weird Al Yankovic lmao, loved his version of Darkseid, was extremely funny and charismatic, this isn't supposed to be taken seriously and I don't mind that, it's fine, probably some of the most fun episodes of this series.

-Timmverse: This starts amazing, the Apokolips Now! Chapters are... A BEAUTIFUL HOMAGE TO JACK KIRBY, IT SHOWS AN AMAZING DARKSEID AND THE FOURTH WORLD AS A WHOLE, LOVED IT, then there are the legacy chapters, they adapt LEGENDS and they're really fun, not amazing but really funny to watch, I loved the end with "I am many things Kal-El, but for my people, I'm a God", then there is Twilight, here start the mixed feelings, I like it, loved the inclusion of Forager but absolutely hated how it just discards Orion, the Oberon/Scott chapters are AMAZING, and so charming, then Darkseid turns even more Superman centered and hated that, at the end this adaptation ended up having bad consequences, it caused Orion to be sidelined and the New Gods being seen just as "The Superman supporting cast", it started this "Darkseid as a Superman villain" thing, and even if I enjoyed it, this adaptation ended up damaging New Gods image in mainstream media.

-Lego DC: Lego DC Supervillains is my fav DC game, and it's because of Apokolips, the Orion sidequests are funny; and loved how he calls HighFather "His real father" and says he's lovely, then both Barda and Scott Sidequests are fun and absolutely love those references, in the main story the characters are amazing, I always wanted to see Granny in Themyscira and this game did that, it was really fun with Virman, then Kalibak in a Dinosaur is ABSOLUTELY PEAK!!, WONDERFUL, and then the Final part with Desaad and Darkseid are PEAK, DELIGHTFUL VERSION, the post game in Apokolips is funny too, really loved how it adapts Grail, the Furies, Mantis and specially KANTO, I LOVED THE REFERENCES TO THE SIMONSON BACK UPS AND HE'S FULL OF CHARISMA, LOVED ITTTTT, the map is wonderful and full of references too, this was amazing and def a fun experience.

-Apokolips War: This movie is just not worthy, the New 52 New Gods aren't good and this movie adapts those, it feels uninspired and boring.

-Superfriends: This has Kirby hands in it and it's funny, a children version of Apokolips that's extremely charming and lovely, actually liked it really much

-Brave and the Bold: As someone who loves the Jli, I LOVED THIS EPISODE, It was fun and charming as the whole series, I love Batman Brave and the Bold, I wish it had Scott in this JLI too, Darkseid looks great and loved this.

-Young Justice: This is really bittersweet, I like how they added the Forever People and made them important, as it's weird to see them in important roles, while I hate this literal bug version of Forager ignoring that his point is being a God between bugs, then Lightray and Orion are fine, I do like autistic Orion, most of the critiques I've heard are saying that Orion's evil nature comes from Apokolips, something that is fake and that he's not evil, being a big plot point in Hunger Dogs as his anger issues are hereditary from his mother, at the end, this is a bad adaptation and really bittersweet.

-Harley Quinn: This series is bad as a whole, thid chapter is just fine and fun for a 4/10 series that I don't really like.

-Justice League Action: I loved this version of Scott and Barda's relationship, I love how extravagant is Scott (I hate the Tom King era because a big plot point is that, even being raised in Apokolips, Scott is a full of love and extravagant New God), this series is fine and really fun.

So at the end, my fav adaptation is...

Lego DC Supervillains, look, I would've loved if it had New Genesis, but for what it is, it's really great, a fun story, great adaptations and a map full of references of the Fourth World, this was a great experience and really fun.

What do you think?, which one is your favorite?

Look, I don't really like what I've heard of this series so far, I've heard that it'll be a 1:1 of the original series and that's questionable..., I had a lil' of hope of the series changing most aspects and just using the depression idea, but it seems like they're going with a 1:1 adaptation and I... Absolutely hate that, in a 1:1 adaptation we lose characters like Highfather, Oberon, The Forever People and Forager, while Orion too, all of them are dead or die during the story, while if they're still going with the fake World ending, it doesn't have sense for this universe, the point of the Original book was being confusing about the ending, that doesn't work for the DCU, the idea of the "Scott never escapes of this world" can't work in the DCU, and aside of all those things, I still hate the idea of THIS story being the introduction of the New Gods in the DCU, it has a lot of references to lore (Like the references to DOTNG) sometimes it's extremely wrong in lore (Like the pact), still, I have low hopes for this series

I got bored today and had a fun idea, making a whole reading guide including both Eternals and Titan Eternals lore, I tried to put as many content as I could and hope y'all can enjoy what I made, It took a lot of effort from me

Orion and his real father, Izaya

There they are, Lightray, Black Racer and Shilo

Why

After working since morning in this, I finally finished, THE GUIDE TO READ FOURTH WORLD IN A CONSISTENT WAY

First I started with prequels novels and issues, then ofc the classic saga, after that I added the Special as happened before Hunger Dogs and Brave and the Bold too, I added Superpowers as 50/50 canon, being replaced by Legends in the New Earth version of the storyline, Hunger Dogs remains as canon, Legion would be the ending of the 4th World in the Pre Crisis era, post crisis was more complicated, I added LEGENDS as it was, Guardians of Metropolis too, then Forever People is extremely important for Ram V run, so I maintained it as canon, and Cosmic Odyssey to maintain Forager by Allred as canon too, like I said, Forager is canon and It contradicts the start of the Starlin/Evanier run, so I deleted the first 14 issues because most of them contradicts past and future events, like Hunger Dogs, Fastback dying at the start, etc, so Orion is on earth because of JLI, the next part is complicated, I deleted the start of the Byrne run because it contradicts DeMatteis FP, and that run is extremely important to Ram V New Gods, then I made Genesis stay canon and the issues of post-Genesis and Resurrection of Darkseid to pass to JLA by Morrison and Orion by Simonson, had to put some bullshit for peak to stay as canon, then pre-Final Crisis was easier, after that we would see New 52 New Gods in Earth Prime and Earth 2, they'd dissapear after Diana restores the multiverse and the stories, and become their Old selves for Ram V New Gods, What do you think?, do you like my idea?, I tried to streamlined the story the best way possible

The outside cover of "Orion" by Ngozi Ukazu, has been shown, and I think the art looks, ¡AMAZING!, her Barda was so good, I can't wait for his Orion story, what do you expect from it?, Are you excited?, Please support this book to support Black Comic Creators like Ngozi, and show DC that we care about the New Gods and the Fourth World

"You'll find parts of yourself scattered around these Cosmos, Jackson Hyde, in the beings you meet and in the bonds you form"

Btw love how at the start he says "Ofc it was an Aquaman", Orion and the Aquaman family doesn't like each other most of the times, glad Jason and him are friends

Reading Firestorm by McDuffie, English is not my native language so I don't know what this says

This shit so ass that, like I always do when I read some bullshit, use the Morrison explanation, most of the pre-Final Crisis New Gods endings were forced by Didio, and this is a prequel for Death of the New Gods, and Morrison decanonized Death of the New Gods, so my idea is that this bullshit never happened, Orion and Bekka didn't marry and Bekka died at some point (Because Bekka and Orion being married a long time contradicts Simonson and sorry but I'm gonna maintain Simonson as part of the main storyline), at the end, this shit was bad
