About this ebook

From Hugo Award-winning writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads, the team behind THE SHERIFF OF BABYLON, comes an ambitious new take on one of Jack Kirby's most beloved New Gods in MISTER MIRACLE! One of the best-reviewed series of the year and already a classic in the making, this Mister Miracle is magical, dark, intimate and unlike anything you've read before. Scott Free is the greatest escape artist who ever lived. So great, he escaped Granny Goodness' gruesome orphanage and the dangers of Apokolips to travel across galaxies and set up a new life on Earth with his wife, Big Barda. Using the stage alter ego of Mister Miracle, he has made quite a career for himself showing off his acrobatic escape techniques. He even caught the attention of the Justice League, who has counted him among its ranks. You might say Scott Free has everything--so why isn't it enough? Mister Miracle has mastered every illusion, achieved every stunt, pulled off every trick--except one. He has never escaped death. Is it even possible? Our hero is going to have to kill himself if he wants to find out. Collects MISTER MIRACLE #1-12.

Ratings and reviews

This is the most boring and confusing story I've ever read and I'm a 40 year veteran of comics. It seemed aimless and disjointed. I'm not even sure I understood what was going on. I liked the characters and artwork. Just the story and script was hard work to complete and I don't feel the effort was rewarded.

This is a very emotional and tough read. I highly recommend you read this as long as you know what you are getting into. There are a lot of heavy themes and ideas. I highly recommend This Book

A great multidimensional superhero story as well as a profound look at the long term consequences of childhood trauma. A jewel with multiple facets and rare depth.
