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.

Humanity Attempts to Escape in Project Arka: Into the Dark Unknown

Posted on by

Humanoids has announced Project Arka: Into the Dark Unknown, a chilling science fiction graphic novel set in a distant future where citizens of a dying Earth flee to a distant promised land in a massive colony ship, the Arka III, but soon find themselves trapped in a mysterious corner of uncharted space.

French science fiction novelist Romain Benassaya adapts his own bestselling novel, Pyramides, into an original graphic novel featuring the lushly illustrative watercolor art of acclaimed Catalan illustrator Joan Urgell. Available now for the first time in English on June 20, 2023. 

In the not-too-distant future, the Earth has been destroyed, its orbit withering and its citizens desperate to escape to the stars. The solution? Project Arka, a series of massive space vessels bound for the distant planet of Leonis.

When the passengers of Arka III awaken from their long intergalactic journey, they realize they’re not on Leonis. Not only that, their journey has taken much longer than the planned two hundred years, and has landed them in a starless, seemingly endless void. Eric Rives, the ship’s second-in-command, and his partner Jia Tang are sent on an exploratory mission to investigate the dark labyrinth that surrounds them…but what they find is beyond belief.

Project Arka: Into the Dark Unknown will be available in bookstores everywhere on June 20, 2023 and in comic shops on June 21, 2023.
