ABOUT
Now, as Metron brings word of this cosmos-shattering prediction to the residents of New Genesis and Apokolips, both worlds are thrown into chaos and conflict. On Earth, Scott Free and Barda find themselves unaware of this incoming chaos while consumed with their most daunting task yet: parenthood.
The visionary team of writer Ram V (The Many Deaths of Laila Starr) and artist Evan Cagle (Superman and the Authority) bring the Fourth World to a whole new generation in this epic of cosmic proportions. An old god has died...the New Gods are born!
Fans of these compelling and unconventional Jack Kirby creations will be thrilled by this new imagining of the mythos! And current DC fans will be stunned to see how The New Gods fits into the DC All In initiative—and serves as a bridge between the DC Universe and Absolute Universe.
This volume collects The New Gods #1-6, the first half of the 12-issue saga.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
