New Gods #14

New Gods #14 was published in 1977 as part of the DC Comics revival of Jack Kirby's Fourth World mythos. After the initial cancellation of the original series in 1972, DC revisited these characters due to enduring fan interest and the publisher's desire to integrate Kirby's cosmic creations into the wider DC Universe. This issue represents a shift in the series' tone, moving away from the purely experimental narrative style of the original run toward a more traditional editorial approach.

The issue features art and writing that reflects the transition period of the late 1970s at DC. While the creative direction for this specific volume moved through various hands, the designs remained rooted in Kirby's original aesthetic of monumental, mythic conflict. The reception of these revival issues was mixed at the time, as long-time readers often compared the output to the raw, singular vision of the original series, though it remains a significant chapter in the history of the New Gods' continuity.
