"Spinning off of THE FOURTH WORLD comes JACK KIRBY'S MISTER MIRACLE! As part of the NEW GODS saga, JACK KIRBY'S MISTER MIRACLE focuses on Scott Free's attempt to escape his past and create his own future. Raised on the war-ravaged world of Apokolips, Scott became a master escape artist in order to flee his planet and fight in the epic battle against his former home world's tyrant, Darkseid. Taking on the persona of Mister Miracle and fighting alongside the love of his life, Big Barda, Scott proves that a man, not his upbringing, determines his destiny."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

He set impossible tasks for himself, and he always surpassed all realistic expectations.
Jack is Scott Free, a lot of the time - and it never mattered that the powers were inconsistent (it didn't matter what they were, or where they came from), it never mattered that time was invested in characters that would fade in and out - - what mattered was that Scott kept escaping death, w/o batting an eye - and the two people who loved him most (Oberon and Big Barta... especially BB) were there to marvel at it, dust him off, watch his back, and share in the partnership of the book. The Mister Miracle troupe.
The stories are defined by the villains - the circumstances. Taking a walk in the woods with your buddy (while wearing one of the most flamboyant costumes ever designed)? Don't be surprised if a demon runs by, chased by other demons, leading you to a haunted house of Satan - which is really a weapon-smuggling operation run by a mutant whose eyes can do whatever the plot calls for.
Superman had silver age powers like this - because everybody knew it wasn't about the powers. It wasn't about realism (which we may be forever mired in, thanks to the gentrification of most comics). It was about incredible graphic depictions of action, and death defied on every other page.
Jack Kirby was a genius, the likes of which seem impossible to ever occur again in the human race. Not necessarily because he was the best at anything except *production*. His dreams spilled out on paper b/c of an inhuman work ethic spawned on fields of gory devastating battle. If any other living soul carried illustration jobs on up to 7 titles a month (at the craziest span) - they may have mined deeply enough to find the gold that he produced as casually as you or I blow our nose.
Kirby was a miracle. Mister Miracle encapsulates some of what he was, in its purest form. Work, wage-slavery, and escaping despair - in the name of pure entertainment (that you learn and grow from) - one miraculous day after the another. ( )
