From my ratings of King's previous work you can probably tell I'm a pretty big fan of this guy. Taking on Mister Miracle I was a little worried. Always am from getting overhyped. When I began reading this title I was a tad bit confused why so many people loved it. I couldn't get into the first 3 issues really much at all, but the rest? Well...

Who is Mister Miracle? Well, if you're like me, you have no fucking clue. You might have seen him before but never as a main character. He's the ultimate escape artist. In this title he is at war with Darkseid and his army. But really, the core focus of this book is about Big Barda and Scott Free as they live their life together. Mid-way through the book, and this isn't a spoiler, they have a child, and it changes the dynamic and the reasoning why they are fighting and their choices for it. It's a big storyline, spanning 12 issues, but telling a story of love, of pride, of honor, and of loss.

Good: Loved the hell out of the middle issues. They might be my favorite issues in the series. Strong family dynamic and both funny and heartfelt moments throughout. I think King shined here in both pacing and dialogue. I also enjoyed the ambiguous ending as it left it up to the reader to decide and it was well done. Also, the art is fantastic. I loved how character reacted and the overall design to everything.

Bad: Wasn't a huge fan of the start. It's a lot to take in, it's weird as shit at points, and the tone feels all over the place.

Overall, this is a fantastic book once it starts going. King has done so many amazing stories so far. I truly mean it, this guy is one of the best storytellers around if you ask me. Mister Miracle is not my favorite work by him but it's very high up there. A 4.5 out of 5.
