Death of the New Gods

http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=120379

Jim Starlin is good at cosmic stories, but this makes me sad. I hope they bring them back at some point. Well, I hope they bring Darkseid back at some point.

I hope they die in embarrassing fashion.

NRAMA: If the end is nigh for the New Gods, where do Darkseid and Apokolips weigh in? Or are they in danger as well?

JS: I'm not sure why folks keep asking me questions like this. The name of the series is The Death of the New Gods, not The Death of Some of the New Gods.


Sounds like a nice guy....

When you look at how they're dressed, an embarrassing death is inevitable.

After this event...I officially drop DC comics.

It's gone way too far...bringing back the New Gods just to kill them.

This is just plain disrespectful to the memory of Jack Kirby.

Personally I like the way Starlin put it.

JS: Dan's the boss. Myself, I sort of think of this project as putting an ending to Jack's New Gods' saga. Since Kirby's initial run on the characters others have presented them with mixed results. Looking back I'd say at least half of the past New Gods series have done more harm than good. So for me, Death of the New Gods is half honoring Jack Kirby, half mercy killing.

Simonson's Orion series was the only good thing to come from the New Gods camp since Kirby wrote it himself. Quite frankly, I'd rather they go out in style rather than keep them around just so we can have our semi annual Superman/Orion fight.

Only problem I see is DC's contiuned stance that the only thing to do with stale characters is to kill them off or replace them with new and rather uninteresting characters.

But killing them is not the answer. Putting the characters on exile till a good writer comes along works fine. It's stupid gimmick to kill characters and it's wearing very thin. It's clearly that killing character and to bring them back is becoming the rule nowadays.

Truth be told the characters do belong to DC. They can do whatever they want. That doesn't mean WE fans don't have to accept it.

This is bad decision and it stinks to high heaven. No matter how honorable both Dan and Starlin want to ice the cake. It's just lame. Even if they're trying to reboot the Universe...it really looks severely flawed. Things were looking REALLY good with the Sinestro Corps. Now this announcement is like an off switch.

Now don't think I'm closing my thoughts. I'm riding this all the way to the end. However, depending on the story it maybe my last ride for good.

I'm not the type that thinks killing is the answer either so don't get wrong on that. Still, even Kirby never intended for the New Gods to be around forever. He was going to kill them himself had DC not told him no so I just don't think it's spitting on Jack's memory or anything like that.

NO ****ING WAY....... There's no way they could just up and kill off the new gods.......

Co-signed with both of you. If they kill off the new gods, I'm dropping DC. And I never thought I would say that.

"JS: Circumstances will get Scott using the Anti-Life Equation freely and to his own detriment. Won’t say anymore than that."

didn't Scott Free swear never to use the ALE? What the f**k?

"JS: Big plans for the Source. You'll never guest whose father he turns out to be. No, seriously: everything you think you know about the Source is wrong. This is the part that the really fanatical Kirby fans are simply going to hate."

............... That's it. Jim Starlin must die. and Dan Didio too. This is an insult to the king's name. And frankly, if DC does this, they will have disgraced the entire legacy of DC comics.

I might if the next All-Star Batman and Robin turns out bad. I haven't heard anything about it but its got Frank Millar and Jim Lee so I'm sure it's the greatest comic of all time. Hope I'm not disappointed.
