About the series
During its 1995–1997 run at DC, New Gods saw a rotating creative team—including writers Rachel Pollack, Tom Peyer, and John Byrne, with artists Luke Ross, John Byrne, and Stefano Raffaele—explore the cosmic conflict between the utopian New Genesis and the hellish Apokolips. This 15-issue series deepened the mythos of Jack Kirby's Fourth World, focusing on the godly beings caught in the eternal struggle between Highfather and Darkseid. It stands as a notable mid-1990s revival that brought fresh perspectives to these larger-than-life characters without losing their epic, operatic core.
