#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!

Went to a con this past weekend (no, not That con), and was able to get this infamous comic page signed by the excellent @kevinmaguire.bsky.social The scoff he made when I said Metron is my favorite was priceless, because honestly? That's the correct reaction 😂 Thank you sir!

Daniel thank you for the heads up!! Im at a con (not sdcc, different one) so completely didnt hear about this until i checked messages just now! Darkseid War Metron let's goooooooo

Friends, this just arrived (pictured with the loose #1 and the Absolute editions I already own). The New Gods 1971 collection is complete!

🍗🍗

Very vague and minor spoilers for New Gods 8 but I GUESS I NEED TO UPDATE MY BLOG ARTICLE ABOUT METRON'S FASHION SENSE @therightram.bsky.social and Evan Cagle must have been absolutely cackling when they put this in

Oh he certainly does

Metron commission!

And with that, I'm prob going on another bsky break until I see the Superman movie, which isn't going to be for a bit. I'm fighting for my life against spoilers but it's my own doing hah

Okay! It's been A While™ with life and what have you. But our group got together for New Gods #7 and man we had even more to chew on than last time. Spoilers ahead, tho if you haven't read it yet what're you waiting for?! #newgods #fourthworld @therightram.bsky.social @francescosegala.bsky.social

Visited Mile High Comics on Monday and saw someone familiar

Aaaaa I've been waiting!! Lol he kinda looks like he's wearing bulky briefs but idc I need this in my life! 😂

I had posted earlier, then decided to do a full write up instead! Here's a quick blog article looking at Metron's design in New History of the DC Universe 1. I investigate the artist's influences and find which references were used. makemiskates.com/2025/06/29/t...

Haven't been around here much bc my time's been taken elsewhere. After next week I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things, and if not then maybe by August? Somehow I feel like July is gonna fly by even faster than June did

Mr Orion 🥺

>:3

Just read the new #newgods and no spoilers, but when theyre sitting there on the ground next to each other OH MY HEART 🥺
