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.

Reviews for Mister Miracle (GN)

The Best Superhero Story of the Summer. Mister Miracle might be one of the rawest superhero comics I've read in recent memory. --GQ One of the most mind-bending superhero comics currently on stands. --Entertainment Weekly For those wishing that an 'adult superhero comic' meant more than just swearing and violence, Mister Miracle might just be the series you've been waiting for all along. --Hollywood Reporter This is a most fitting tribute to Kirby by way of King: a tale of epic cataclysm both delicately devastating and quietly joyful. --Booklist (Starred Review) A solid stand-alone that should have broad teen and adult appeal for those seeking more unusual cape-and-tights fare. --Kirkus Reviews Every year, one book stands up above everyone else's. Fans and creators alike stop and stare in amazement at a couple of creators finding a new voice, new point of view, and new levels of artistic expression. This year it is Mister Miracle. --Brian Michael Bendis, author There are master magicians performing here. Their names are Tom King and Mitch Gerards. --Brad Meltzer, author of Identity Crisis Mister Miracle spirals out of control in his dazzling new comic. --A.V. Club Mister Miracle is every bit as good as one would expect from a creative team of this caliber working with such a venerated character. Tom King and Mitch Gerads manage to blend the larger-than-life nature of the Fourth World with a very grounded and emotionally charged story of a hero at his lowest ebb. Regardless of your familiarity with the New Gods, this is a series that absolutely deserves to be on your pull list. --IGN The new series Mister Miracle from writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads will take readers on an episodic roller coaster of death, resurrection, mystery and intrigue. --CBR One of the best comics you read this year. --i09 A never-ending loop of the bizarre, anxious and absurd...King and Gerads excel at creating incredibly likable characters who attempt to untangle doomed causes--a legacy perfect for this new book. --Paste Magazine Tom King wrote Mister Miracle for modern America. --Nerdist
