“First Appearance: New Gods #1Best Writer & Artist: Jack Kirby

Jack Kirby took the nature vs. nurture argument to new heights with his New Gods epic, a grand mythology that repurposed Abrahamic plot beats into a Technicolor space opera. Almost any one of the gods could slide into this list; the Freon degree of cool surrounding Mr. Miracle, Big Bartha and the sinister Apokolips crew is undeniable. That said, Orion, son of ubervillain Darkseid traded to heavenly New Genesis as an infant, takes special notice.

Reread that last sentence and thank the gods, new or otherwise, for Jack Kirby. — Sean Edgar
