While I liked some of what Azzarello & Chiang did with Orion in their Wonder Woman run, I thought the entire New 52 revamp of Kirby's Fourth World stuff was so utterly wrong-headed that I couldn't honestly understand what DC was trying to do. Even Geoff Johns' otherwise stellar work with these versions in Darkseid War made the bone-headed decision to have Highfather & Darkseid exchange sons when Scott & Orion are both old enough to understand what was happening to them, which seems to completely miss the point of Orion & Scott's entire character arcs. I also thought the idea of Highfather as morally bankrupt warrior king only slightly better Darkseid was similarly pointless.
However, perhaps I am missing something here. Are there any fans of the New 52 NuGods out there who can explain to me why DC shouldn't simply forget about them in favor of what Kirby established? Anyone?
