It began with a prophecy. From the moment those enigmatic words were delivered from the Source, shock waves rocked the very foundation of the universe.

But this child, and his unimaginable power, has attracted the attention of evils both human and Apokoliptian. Now on earth and working alongside the Justice League Unlimited, will the New Gods be able to save the newest member of their tribe before it’s too late?
This volume collects The New Gods #7–12.

Review of advance copy
A tale of cosmic proportions brought to earth! While the scale is brought down a bit this time, and interacts a bit more with the justice league, the tale of the two future leaders of New Genesis is still the core.
Part of the story is hinging on potential, clearly the whole story is not done yet. that'll determine how some feel about it. what we do have is still entertaining, and every issue has one to four pages where ram V is waxing poetically about the nature of these gods. Those pages are the reason you read this, and this is one of the few series I have read that effectively uses different artists where it isn't jarring.
I am a little annoyed this early on that the magical new God kid, is nothing more than really a MacGuffin. He feels much more of a plot device more then a character. But I did stay for Scott Free and Orion's dynamic and parallel theming. my feelings on this series as a whole will crystallize better if and when we get more of it in the future. it's all very cool to look at, but the plot is not done, has the potential to be something more given we get more.

The New Gods are an extremely fascinating set of ideas and lore, but I'm still waiting for a story to fully match that potential. This one comes as close as any yet.

glad it isn't over
this book has way to many things to talk about and it needs a lot more issues than just 12 in order to truly reach its full potential
