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.

Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1 teases what’s coming next for the DC Universe and “All In”

Posted on by
Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1

The Justice League has offered a number of villains amnesty, allowing them to prove they’re on the side of the angels. But what they didn’t see coming was the void that would leave in the world of super-villains! Batman and Lex Luthor must work together to investigate a Justice League villain who wants to fill that void, capitalizing on shifting priorities and the visions of the future that the DC Universe’s champions saw at the end of DC K.O. to create a dangerous new weapon! Can Batman and Lex set aside their differences to stop them? Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1 might set up what’s to come for DC’s “All In,” but it stands out on its own as a really solid one-shot special.

Written by Mark Waid and Joshua Williamson, Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1 has Batman and Lex Luthor teaming up to stop an illegal weapons purchase but why this? Where did the weapons come from? Who’s the buyer? Waid and Williamson delivers some answers and more mystery as the issue builds off of teases that have been spread out throughout the DC line and pointing to an eventual return of Darkseid.

Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1 is entertaining on its own as Batman and Luthor are a fun duo to play off each other. Both have a vision of how to bring about “peace,” both are rather gruff, both are highly intelligent, and both feel their way is the right way. It’s a team-up that feels out of place but by the end is really entertaining and a hell of a lot of fun. The villain is solid. The progression of the story is engaging. And it’s easy to get into, even if you haven’t been paying attention to DC’s meta story that’s going on.

Part of the comic’s solid delivery is the art from Miguel Mendonça. With color by Romulo Fajardo Jr. and lettering by Steve Wands, the comic has a funhouse quality to it with some good scares and a lot of twisting visuals that’ll keep you sucked in to the visuals. There’s some fantastic art as Batman and Lex go further into the twisted house they’ve been sucked into and even when they’re not on a visual trip, the panels look fantastic with some great detail and coloring that stands out.

Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1 is a comic that might get overlooked this week but it’s one that’s well worth checking out. The art is top notch and story is entertaining, especially the back and forth between Luthor and Batman. You don’t need to care about, or know, the DC meta story to enjoy the comic. It stands on its own while adding something for the hardcore fans.
