No prison can hold him. No trap can contain him. He is Scott Free, the worldwide celebrity sensation known as Mister Miracle, and he is the greatest escape artist who ever lived.

But can he pull off the ultimate trick--and escape death itself?

Something has gone horribly wrong with the perfect life that Scott and his wife, Big Barda, have made for themselves on Earth. With war raging between their homeworlds of Apokolips and New Genesis, Scott's cruel adoptive father, Darkseid, seems to have finally found the Anti-Life Equation--the weapon that will give him total victory.

As the mountains of bodies on both sides grow ever higher, only Mister Miracle can stop the slaughter and restore peace. But the terrible power of the Anti-Life Equation may already be at work in his own mind, warping his reality and shattering the fragile happiness he's found with the woman he loves.

Is death the trap that's been waiting for him all along? Or is it life itself? And what price will Scott Free have to pay to learn the answer?

Praise for Mister Miracle

"The Best Superhero Story of the Summer. Mister Miracle might be one of the rawest superhero comics I've read in recent memory." --GQ

"One of the most mind-bending superhero comics currently on stands." --Entertainment Weekly

"A solid stand-alone that should have broad teen and adult appeal for those seeking more unusual cape-and-tights fare." --Kirkus Reviews

"Every year, one book stands up above everyone else's. Fans and creators alike stop and stare in amazement at a couple of creators finding a new voice, new point of view and new levels of artistic expression. This year it is Mister Miracle." --Brian Michael Bendis, author of Superman

"There are master magicians performing here. Their names are Tom King and Mitch Gerads." --Brad Meltzer, author of Identity Crisis

"Heartbreaking, funny, and human, it's an all-time classic in the making." --Wired

"Tom King is arguably the finest writer in superhero comics today; Mitch Gerads is a penciler, inker, and colorist par excellence; and their teamwork here is nothing short of stunning." --Vulture

"For those wishing that an 'adult superhero comic' meant more than just swearing and violence, Mister Miracle might just be the series you've been waiting for all along." --Hollywood Reporter

"A never-ending loop of the bizarre, anxious and absurd... King and Gerads excel at creating incredibly likable characters who attempt to untangle doomed causes." --Paste Magazine

"A new and haunting vision of DC's New Gods that will leave you begging for more." --Nerdist

"Fully operatic in story and setting but still feels full of familiar emotions and resonant themes." --Polygon
