Yes! Aside from it being a great story that explores seldomly seen corners of the DC Universe, the Mister Miracle chapters tie right into the Shilo Norman /Club Dark Side / Darkseid stuff in Final Crisis. One of my favorite Morrison works.

Definitely the Mister Miracle chapter.

Seven Soldiers is a great piece of work that's highly underrated.

I read Klarion, Mister miracle, and Zatanna. It has been many years. Nothing to do with Final Crisis if I recall properly. Klarion was an origin story, a bit eh. The Mister Miracle was weird. All of the New Gods were mob people because of some weird curse and hung out in the Bronx or something. I don't recall the Zatanna storyline.
