ORION (2026) is my latest comic and book #2 in @dc.com's Fourth World series for young readers! I'm starting a casual thread to talk about my ideas/the process that went into writing and drawing this project. 🌞

Three books laid out on a rug. They overlap each other. The first is an omnibus of New Gods by Jack Kirby with Orion on the cover in the heat of battle, the second is Old Gods & New by John Morrow which has a CMYK color palette and features a heroic figure stretching their arms, and third ORION by Ngozi Ukazu, a YA graphic novel which shows Orion walking toward the viewer taking off his helmet.
