If Metron met his other incarnations. Or something like that. "For science?" "For science." "...Maybe we should rethink this experiment?"

👀

I know very little about DC continuity, but I like to believe that Darkseid just saw Metron one day and deduced (correctly) that that dude had it figured out. Find the perfect chair, and you'll never have to get up again.

It's rare for Metron to be so featured on a cover, but JK4W really gave the fans (me) what we want!

I just want to say a few extra things now that New Gods has wrapped up. Not putting this in the other thread bc it's more about personal experience. I'm just so grateful for what this past year has been, and this comic has been a huge, HUGE factor.

Here we are one last time for our fan group to share our reactions to the New Gods with issue 12. It's gonna be a long one! @therightram.bsky.social @philhester.bsky.social @andeparks.bsky.social @francescosegala.bsky.social @tenapolitano.bsky.social #newgods spoilers ahead!

Read New Gods 12 yesterday. It's been a journey! The end tho OKAY INTERESTING IM LISTENING

Still thinking more about creativity. I've been on-again-off-again with art my whole life, never wanting to do it enough to have any real discipline. But today I really enjoyed sitting down and making something from nothing. #metron in micron pen on paper.

I haven't drawn since July, and now that I think of it, I haven't really posted much fan art here in general. So yeah, here's #Metron

Really great interview. Can't help thinking on how some of these topics apply in my own life regarding creativity.

I laughed because it's really like that sometimes

I appreciate that Conway went his own direction with it while still pulling strong inspiration from the original. It may not be my top favorite characterization, but hey I love comics because they can always bring something new! Anyway, this run gave us Metron in New Orleans, so there's that! 😁

Goodness it's been a while again. But my personal life stuff is settled in and the Halloween costuming efforts are complete. I spent all last week decompressing and doing some chores. And now it's now. Might not be back 100% right away, but whew here i am for now!

This is the latest I've been to get friends together to talk comics, but we still made it before the final one! Here are our thoughts and reactions to New Gods #11! @therightram.bsky.social @francescosegala.bsky.social @afowlerart.com

I know ive been MIA for a few weeks but this is important enough to pop in for. If you love comics history, Jack Kirby, Legos, general nerd culture, the list goes on.. consider donating (only a few days left)! TwoMorrows puts out great publications by and for fans, so check out their store too!

#10 already?! How have ten months flown by so quickly? As always, our friendly group of New Gods fans got together to read through and share our reactions. @therightram.bsky.social @pye.bsky.social @francescosegala.bsky.social

I finally scrolled back through all the latest mentions of Metron, yknow like a normal person. Godspeed to all the Star Trek fans not vibing with the handling of the Arena throwback. I don't go there, but to me those Metron are neighbors, distant relatives, ships passing in the night.

Metron is the principal. Good luck kiddos 😂

Happy Birthday, Jack.

It's what he deserves

I was just (digitally) flipping through this one last night!

“I looked into the abyss and found myself there.” Spent the first part of #BatmanDay rereading Gotham Nocturne by @therightram.bsky.social!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaou... happy Batman day??? I like how its just a normal city

HAPPY #BATMAN DAY !!!!! Beyond depressing and disappointing I haven’t seen ONE other post about the Dark Knight today!!! But a happy Batman day to those who celebrate regardless!! @dc.com

Woooooooo!!!!!! Seems like gamestop whats up!

New New Gods came out yesterday and I couldn't make it to the store ;_; So I had to wait until after work today. Wow, not reading the issue hot off the presses? Who even am I? But ahhh the beginning sequence ;_;

Like at an actual store?! Now who's just zany enough to stock a Metron figure? 😂

Been busy so haven't been posting as much, but there's no way we're not getting together with friends to do our monthly New Gods read through! Here are some of our collected thoughts on #9! @therightram.bsky.social @pye.bsky.social @francescosegala.bsky.social

Been some time. Ive been busy and low on spoons for keeping up social media. This fall is looking to continue the pace, so not sure when I'll be as active as I'd like. And I'll get back to my blog someday as well. Until then, hopefully I can pop in sporadically 🤞

Lmao i did a double take

Reference for later!

I think he's getting taller 🤔 #metron

Hoo boy #8! Yet again, we had so much to say during our get together, so going to try to condense it down. It was a good one, and long anticipated based on the cover!! #newgods spoilers ahead. @therightram.bsky.social @stipanmorian.bsky.social @francescosegala.bsky.social

Amazing.

NG #10, is that literally lorem ipsum on the cover 😅

Opening splash page from New Gods 5 (Nov 1971) by Jack Kirby and Mike Royer. Another of those super cool photo collages Kirby enjoyed creating. Metron is a fascinating character in Kirby’s Fourth World. A sort of neutral observer, whose only allegiance is to whoever can provide him with knowledge.

The Tom Peyer/Rachel Pollack run of New Gods is a TRIP.

Yet another New Gods piece lmao. Three different Orions lol also Metron and Forager

I just think if it turned out Metron was born from an egg that spontaneously appeared into existence and that was his backstory, it would change nothing and be 100% believable

A rookie cop takes an orphaned gang of newsboys under his wing. After the boys realize a crook is using them as a distraction for crimes, their lives are threatened. Unknown to all, Harper has put together a costume to fight crime. The Newsboy Legion are now under the protection of The Guardian.

anytime i see @ soupsandstars plastic-man post it makes me want to revisit my old Re-design

It always bugged me that #Firestorm is said to be a fire elemental, but (despite his name) his powers are *nuclear* in nature. So I cam up with the idea of him being a "nuclear radiation elemental" for this redesign.

My Metrons are officially ordered!
