Got my copy of Orion by @ngoziu.com It. is. SO. GOOD. The story is creative, the art is wonderful, and most of all it's written with love for the characters. 100% created by a true Fourth World fan. And so enjoyable that I read the whole thing straight through last night, couldn't put it down!!!

Truly a stunning comic all around. This is the only non-Kirby work that I consider essential reading for the New Gods.

Interesting stylistic choice to make his eyes red. They've been pupil-less from the early days (depending on how you interpret the art) and afaik only red once in JLA/Avengers. But this take may be the only full-eye red. I love the coloring and dark inks of the chair too!

Kate @katedoesntexist.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Heheheh yeah! Ive only heard of this bc The Jack Kirby Collector touches on this in Old Gods And New. Wish we could ask Mr Kirby about this one

#art Orion is my little sweetie. in this, Lightray and I are aligned

drawing: Orion with doberman ears, huffing (but his tail is wagging!!) label says “DOG OF WAR.” then. Orion with tiger ears doing kitty claw hands— he has a cute bell on his neck and a twitchy tail. Label says “SON OF TIGRA.” underneath, Lightray is imagining both of these Orions and giggling. (real Orion is watching, confused)

The two sister planet. im currently feeling sick so this digital painting of new genesis and apokolips was all I can muster up in a short amount of time 😅 (feel free to use as a wallpaper) #newgods #dccomics #digitslart #digitalpainting

A digitally painted picture of new genesis and apokolips. Flames are coming out apokolips. The background is starry and matching the colours of the two planets.

I think Metron should temporarily join the JSA. Like just for shits and giggles. He already went on an adventure with them to take down Extant that one time, and it'd be interesting to see more interactions.

The obvious answer is Mike Grell's Cosmic Boy magnetic bustier so I'll go with my second choice: Orion of the New Gods superhero redesign by Mike Vosburg. It was what he wore when I started reading comics and I still like it, but I completely agree that Kirby's original look is far superior.

#art Lightray/Orion AU. ive never felt more insane… or more ALIVE

drawing: New Gods coffee shop/human au, Lightray/Orion, with apologies to Jack Kirby. Solis is a grad student/barista, Orion is a cool guy with a cool bike who likes coffee. Izaya/Highfather is a rabbi and Orion’s adopted dad. Forager is Solis’s coworker who is sick of watching Solis and Orion flirt, like, every day. (more alt text on crops in next post)

The Black Casebook @blackcasebook.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

From @comictropes.bsky.social’s Twitter

Jack Kirby quote in Patrick McDonnell’s THE SUPER HERO’S JOURNEY: “I had a guy die on me once, during the war, and he looked up at me and he said, ‘What the hell happened?’ And here I was, just a schmo from the East Side of New York City, y’know, and how do you answer the guy? I told him, ‘You happened.’ See? And that was real. It got me to think about how valuable human beings are; and at that moment I discovered my own humanity. In that moment, I discovered everybody else’s.”

When I feel like drawing but I don’t know where to start, my brain usually defaults to Kirby’s New Gods characters.

I feel very confident in saying I'm the only person who has ever put together a Metron ita bag. I left some space for expansion too! I'll make a few more charms for myself later :3
