Orion Fights for Earth! Orion frees Lanza, Shane, Lincoln, and Lockman from Darkseid.

Darkseid has kidnapped a child of New Genesis. In exchange, he sends a child of Apokolips to Earth.

There came a time when the old gods died... A long, deep silence closed upon what had happened and the cosmos was wrapped in massive darkness for an age. Then...there was a new light... ...and the dawn of the NEW GODS! Collected here is the entire New Godssaga, as written and drawn by comics legend Jack Kirby (co-creator of Captain America and the Fantastic Four), featuring some material reprinted here for the first time ever. Considered by many to be his best work, Jack Kirby's New Gods is a powerful story of good vs. evil that has inspired many of today's top artists and writers, as well as entertained a devoted group of fans.

After co-creating comic book heroes including The Fantastic Four and The Hulk, legendary writer/artist Jack Kirby came to DC Comics in 1970 to write and illustrate four interlocking series known collectively as "The Fourth World." Now, for the first time, DC collects these four series—THE NEW GODS, THE FOREVER PEOPLE, MISTER MIRACLE and SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN—in chronological order as they originally appeared. These comics spanned galaxies, from the streets of Metropolis to the far-flung worlds of New Genesis and Apokolips, as cosmic-powered heroes and villains struggled for supremacy. Volume 1 features the debuts of Orion of the New Gods, the evil Darkseid, super-escape artist Mister Miracle and many others. It also features numerous appearances by Superman.
