I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority on liking the Conway/Newton run better than Kirby's original creation. I thought Jezebel was a cool character design and while the superherization of Orion was soundly rejected by fans I still prefer that over the original. I'm not a Kirby hater and enjoyed his Kamandi and Eternals so not sure what is different with New Gods. Just so surprised and happy that DC is doing a collection of this. Agree about "the Great Darkness" story. Levitz at his best with Kirby's characters.
