No prison can hold him. No trap can contain him. He is Scott Free, the worldwide celebrity sensation known as Mister Miracle, and he is the greatest escape artist who ever lived.

But can he pull off the ultimate trick--and escape death itself?

Something has gone horribly wrong with the perfect life that Scott and his wife, Big Barda, have made for themselves on Earth. With war raging between their homeworlds of Apokolips and New Genesis, Scott's cruel adoptive father, Darkseid, seems to have finally found the Anti-Life Equation--the weapon that will give him total victory.

As the mountains of bodies on both sides grow ever higher, only Mister Miracle can stop the slaughter and restore peace. But the terrible power of the Anti-Life Equation may already be at work in his own mind, warping his reality and shattering the fragile happiness he's found with the woman he loves.

Is death the trap that's been waiting for him all along? Or is it life itself? And what price will Scott Free have to pay to learn the answer?

Reviews for Mister Miracle (GN)

The Best Superhero Story of the Summer. Mister Miracle might be one of the rawest superhero comics I've read in recent memory. --GQ One of the most mind-bending superhero comics currently on stands. --Entertainment Weekly For those wishing that an 'adult superhero comic' meant more than just swearing and violence, Mister Miracle might just be the series you've been waiting for all along. --Hollywood Reporter This is a most fitting tribute to Kirby by way of King: a tale of epic cataclysm both delicately devastating and quietly joyful. --Booklist (Starred Review) A solid stand-alone that should have broad teen and adult appeal for those seeking more unusual cape-and-tights fare. --Kirkus Reviews Every year, one book stands up above everyone else's. Fans and creators alike stop and stare in amazement at a couple of creators finding a new voice, new point of view, and new levels of artistic expression. This year it is Mister Miracle. --Brian Michael Bendis, author There are master magicians performing here. Their names are Tom King and Mitch Gerards. --Brad Meltzer, author of Identity Crisis Mister Miracle spirals out of control in his dazzling new comic. --A.V. Club Mister Miracle is every bit as good as one would expect from a creative team of this caliber working with such a venerated character. Tom King and Mitch Gerads manage to blend the larger-than-life nature of the Fourth World with a very grounded and emotionally charged story of a hero at his lowest ebb. Regardless of your familiarity with the New Gods, this is a series that absolutely deserves to be on your pull list. --IGN The new series Mister Miracle from writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads will take readers on an episodic roller coaster of death, resurrection, mystery and intrigue. --CBR One of the best comics you read this year. --i09 A never-ending loop of the bizarre, anxious and absurd...King and Gerads excel at creating incredibly likable characters who attempt to untangle doomed causes--a legacy perfect for this new book. --Paste Magazine Tom King wrote Mister Miracle for modern America. --Nerdist
