Mister Miracle #12 Review

Writer: Tom King / Artist: Mitch Gerads / DC Comics “The End Is the Beginning Is the End” – The Smashing Pumpkins *Jay-Z Voice* I wanna thank y’all or coming out tonight. You could be anywhere in the world but you’re here with us. We’ve been rocking for a year with Mister Miracle. The rollercoaster ride of going up and down between casual, violent, and hilarious day to day mundane moments concludes here for the New Gods. I’m going to be honest with y’all, I don’t even know where to begin. We see Scott Free aka Mister Escape The Room waking up to a rather normal day after delivering the fade to Darkseid up close and personal (like a UPS package you gotta sign for). However, this is a Tom King and Mitch Gerads production so ain’t a damn thing normal. What we see are different voices speaking to Scott throughout the issue. Expressing their opinion on the choice he made upon seeing Metron and his Mobius Chair. Scott Free made a choice, but we don’t know if it was right, wrong, or even real. Yeah, King getting super-meta with this take. What I do enjoy is seeing these ghosts of characters. I won’t spoil who shows up, but it’s fairly obvious who you will see. What isn’t obvious is Scott’s reactions and who he chooses to listen to or engage.

“And when you the only thing real, Really you the only thing fake” My favorite thing about this issue is the stance King takes commenting upon the rebirths/retcons and Scott’s choice to not go back into the fray of all that. I love that tongue …
