DEATH OF THE NEW GODS #3 (OF 8)Written by Jim Starlin
Art by Starlin and Matt Banning
Another Countdown tie-in that isn't even trying to sync up with its parent title. Scott Free is seen in this week's Countdown in his old costume helping out Jimmy on Apokalips. In this issue, he's in his black and purple, Barda mourning costume and promptly returns to New Genesis. I'd seriously like some editor's notes or a timeline to accompany all these out of order issues.
As for the actual issue, Superman, Orion and Scott beat up some parademons and Scott uses the Anti-Life Equation on Darkseid to find out he gave up and is just waiting for his death. There's a lot of random New Gods' lore thrown about with the Forever People and random Gods dying that I couldn't really keep up on, seeing as I've never read any New Gods related stuff before. That Himon guy that was elected leader after Takion died at the Source Wall, whom he was accompanying at that time, seems like a likely candidate for being involved with the killings, especially since it was noted he isn't actually a New God, but the mystery is still too vague and unexplored to make a serious guess, at least with my level of knowledge of the characters.
Verdict - Check It.
