10. The Mister Miracle to Be

Writer/Artist: Jack Kirby

Well, this is a weird one. So far, every issue but the first was heavily mired in New Gods stuff, but this one really isn’t.

Scott, Barda, and the Furies Boom Tube back to Earth, where they accidentally stumble upon the World Protective League, a group of evil scientists and soldiers who are about to use a plague bomb to ransom the planet.

This horrifies Scott. The head of the World Protective League (who’s a literal head in a jar, mind you) sends Scott to be poisoned to death, but Scott escapes. He sticks the Head on the Plague bomb and lets it harmlessly detonate while in orbit. I mean, it’s not harmless to the head; it kills the head.

Oberon is overjoyed to see Scott, Barda, and the Furies when they finally show up at home. And now they have a new guest. It’s Ted Brown, son of the original Mister Miracle, Thaddeus Brown!

How does Brown react to Scott’s new identity? Will the Furies manage to get along with the others? What adventures will they have? To find out, you gotta go pick up the rest of the series!

I HIGHLY recommend these comics. They’re incredible, and if you don’t love Kirby now, you will when you read them.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a deadline to escape.
