DC’s Fourth World Crashes into DC’s All In Saga in January 2027

Posted on by Leave a comment

The Fourth World is coming to Earth, and the consequences will reverberate across the DC Universe. This January, writers Ram V and Alex Paknadel join artist Joan Urgell for DC All In Saga: The New Gods #1, a 48-page one-shot that brings Mister Miracle and the surviving New Gods directly into the unfolding DC All In Saga.

Mister Miracle thought he could escape anything. But in the wake of unimaginable upheaval, Scott Free has taken on a role he can’t escape: Highfather. With New Genesis occupied by sinister alien forces, the New Gods have taken refuge on Earth, leaving Scott responsible for leading a displaced people searching for safety on a planet that is not their own.

Their arrival on our world will not go unnoticed.

Fourth World technology is being illegally traded on Earth, and tensions are rising as Mister Miracle and the New Gods attempt to peacefully coexist with their new neighbors. With their homeworld beyond their reach and their extraordinary technology falling into dangerous hands, the remaining New Gods must find their place in the DC Universe before the fragile sanctuary they have found becomes another battlefield.

DC All In Saga: The New Gods builds on the larger story that began in 2024’s DC All In Special #1 and continues this fall in DC All In Saga: Darkseid vs. The World #1. The latter, written by Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson with art by Sanford Greene and Yasmine Putri, arrives October 28 and reveals more of Darkseid’s past, present, and future as the war surrounding DC’s ultimate evil continues. 

Darkseid has loomed over the DC All In Saga from its beginning. His consequential confrontation with the heroes of the DC Universe in the DC All In Special helped spark the Absolute Universe, and the repercussions of his actions continue to reach across both worlds. Even as the surviving New Gods face a crisis of their own, Darkseid’s shadow remains impossible to escape. 

DC All In Saga: The New Gods #1, written by Ram V and Alex Paknadel with art by Joan Urgell and Romulo Fajado, Jr., features a main cover by Nimit Malavia and variant covers by Dustin Nguyen, Kyuyong Eom, Jason Shawn Alexander, and Javi Fernández, plus a foil variant cover by Nguyen. The 48-page one-shot arrives at participating comic book shops and digital retailers on January 13, 2027, for $5.99 US, with card stock variants available for $6.99 US.

TIME RUNS OUT!

It was the catastrophe that led to the end of both the Ultimate and Marvel Universes and birthed the conflict known as Secret Wars, but not every story of those dark days has been told… Starting in November, five all-new INCURSIONS one-shots reveal the world-destroying battles that erupted across the Marvel multiverse and led into Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić’s Secret Wars, where iconic heroes and villains from wildly different realities collided—with only one universe able to survive.

The series kicks off in November with X-Men: Incursions #1 by Alex Paknadel and Jim Towe, a dramatic confrontation between two legendary mutant timelines—Days of Future Past and House of M!

Then, in December, Spider-Man: Incursions #1 by Christos Gage and Ron Lim follows two of the Spider-Verse’s most iconic web-slingers, Spider-Gwen and Spider-Girl, in a fight against each other to save their respective homes; and Fantastic Four: Incursions #1 by Ethan S. Parker, Griffin Sheridan, and Paco Medina introduces two wild takes on Marvel’s First Family and the Strongest There Is.

In January, X-Men ’92: Incursions #1 by Christopher Yost, Craig Kyle, and Salva Espin delivers the showdown X-Fans have imagined—and debated—for decades as the iconic X-Men ’92 lineup face off against the mutant teen heroes of the beloved 2000s animated series X-Men: Evolution! Closing out the series with a banger, Avengers: Incursions #1 by Al Ewing and Fran Mariscal Mancilla sends the ruthless villains of Time Runs Out—Thanos and his Cabal—crashing into the Silver Age to wreak havoc against the bright-eyed original Avengers lineup!

A familiar friend, Casey Jones, gets his own comic series! A brand-new foe, Ludovic—a new kind of mutant—wants Casey dead!

Spinning out of the pages of the best-selling Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2024) relaunch comes an all-new series featuring fan-favorite Casey Jones!

After Casey Jones was shot and left in a coma by District Attorney Hieronymus Hale in the pages of TMNT, he’s now awake and living life to the fullest, and doing a little too much. His friends Raphael and April O’Neil try to tell him to slow down and let himself heal, but Casey can’t wait—he needs to be back on the streets. Especially with a new drug called Nostrum, a derivative of the ooze that created the TMNT, being out there and empowering criminals…including the brand-new villain Ludovic, who hates everything Casey stands for and wants him dead. Casey just finished one fight for his life, and now he’s in for an even tougher one!
