After no sign of the Fourth World in the DCnU aside from Darkseid popping in for a short visit, finally got a peak at DCnU Orion in Wonder Woman #12.

The last two panels alone gave me chills. Unleash the Fourth World!

I hope Metron isn't too far behind, he's my favorite New God.

Did that last scene have any connection to the WW story so far or was it just thrown in there?

I wish he'd showcase more of the Fourth World apart from Orion and maybe Highfather, but I'm fine with his writing so far......so long as he doesn't treat his villains the way he did Megan.

He probably will since he didn't deny the other New Gods, just that the others aren't coming as soon as Orion (and Highfather).
Pretty much everyone was a villain in 'Bullets :p

I read the article and I am slightly confused. I take it Orion is now Zola's son but how does this tie into the wide scheme of the New Gods? Darkseid's around as well and so is Desaad and Steppenwolf but are they linked to the Olympian Gods now? Helspont hinted at the New Gods in Superman 7. Ah well they're back in the DC Universe after being tossed out in Final Crisis. That's all that matters.

@Lvenger: I don't think Orion is Zola's son. It seemed more like the birth of Zola's son caused the revival of Orion from underneath the ice for some reason. I doubt they'd change Orion's parentage, because his enmity with Darkseid and the whole prophecy that the son will kill the father is a pretty core component of the New Gods mythos.

The Azz article confirms that he has father issues.

Never got much into the New Gods. Hopefully this will provide the opportunity I so seek.

Now that's interesting. If I remember correctly, Hermes took Zola's son and gave it to Demeter and then this caused Orion to emerge from his 'grave' so to speak. I wonder how he ended up there in the first place. Still, it sounds like Azarello's got a good story to tell so it should be interesting.

Im glad that Orion is back. But i fear that he others writers might not understand him Orion has a big history of being mishandled. The only writers that understand Orion were Jack Kirby, Mark Evanier and Walt Simonson.
