The New Gods #10 – Ram V, Writer; Pye Parr, Evan Cagle, Artists; Francesco Segala, Colorist
Ray – 9.5/10
Ray: As Ram V’s epic heads towards its conclusion, we finally get inside the mind of one of our main villains – the charming New God Serifan, whose cowboy aesthetic belied a cold heart that led him to betray his brothers and turn over Kamal to Maxwell Lord. But a flashback shows a very different version of Serifan, as a young boy whose fascination with Earth culture led him to adopt its aesthetic. He was seen as odd by many of his fellow New Gods, but he loved it deeply – and was broken by what it turned into, a world without adventure and heart. But traitors rarely fare well, and as he works with Lord, he discovers that the plan isn’t at all what he thought it was. Instead of taking the boy on a trip to work with a shady figure, they’re going to be turning him over to the remnants of Apokalips – and that’s something he can’t abide. But the villains came prepared, and the stakes are set for a brutal final showdown.
As the New Gods realize that the most important boy in the universe is missing, they spring into action. Orion, still getting used to his new role as a leader rather than a warrior, is ready to go off and declare war – and without Lightray there to balance him, few people can get through to him. Fortunately, he’s barely able to be calmed down, and a plan of attack is developed. But as the Earth and New Gods heroes make their move, Apokalips launches its attack and several of the most iconic villains who served under Darkseid drop into the scene. It’s particularly good to see Barda face off against the brutal Female Furies she originated in, of course, but there’s an even bigger threat lurking. After all, the remnants of Apokalips were brutally conquered as this series began – and conquerors are rarely satisfied. This series only has two issues to go, but they’re set up to be a truly spectacular finish.
