Miracle, a new DC series based on the New Gods mythology. And yet, that’s precisely what writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads are doing in Mr. Trying to pluck deities from the stars to draw them like haggard nobodies and make them chat like they’re in a Mamet play doesn’t exactly seem like the best idea.

Indeed, when he was finally unshackled from the bonds of his partnership with Stan Lee at Marvel and allowed to become an auteur at DC, one of his first creations was a series modestly titled The New Gods.
