Overview

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?

Eisner Award winners Tom King and Mitch Gerads present a bold new vision of one of Jack Kirby's greatest creations with Mister Miracle--powerful, intimate and utterly unique, this modern comics classic will challenge everything you know about super-heroism Collects the entire 12-issue series.

  • Just Read It, Because It Is AWESOME

    Laura K. - 1 year 2 months ago

    This is a limited run written by Tom King with art by the amazing Mitch Gerards. Mister Miracle (also known as Scott Free) can escape anything but the past he never really deals with and the premise of this book is about the question of reality and how you live after experiencing a great deal of trauma in your life. It's one thing to survive but then how do you live? This is a book that is serious and has a lot of thoughtful ideas on the nature of reality for the characters involved. But the over saturated colors bring this out of what would be a very grim and dark narrative and give us the art Mister Miracle deserves, never shying away from the Kirby design and color palette. I think this adds to the overall quality of the book. And the idea that we never fully escape our past but that it contributes to our present is explored in the excellent comic book setting. I think Tom King is at his best when paired with excellent artists and colorists who help his narrative by not keeping things too dark. This is a great read that I was excited to see every month. Definitely find this when its out and read it, several times. Because it is awesome.

  • Kirby's classic character is in good hands

    Alex B. - 4 years 6 months ago

    Scott Free, the death-defying escape artist and interplanetary superhero known to his millions of fans as Mister Miracle, faces his greatest challenge ever! There are twin foes that have shaken him to his core: clinical depression and the challenge of parenthood in an uncertain world! Tom King and Mitch Gerads (The Sheriff of Babylon, Batman) pull out all the stops in this loving update of Jack Kirby's Fourth World hero. Full of humor, pathos, romance, regret, and hope, this Eisner award-winning series is a joy to read, now collected in one convenient volume.
