The brief for this one was a little different and took a long journey through various iterations to the page - but essentially, it was about introducing the concept of the Multiverse (and "616" as the Marvel Universe's multiversal number) to new readers. Naturally, the burden had to fall on poor ol' Spidey - representative of the Marvel Universe and also a big multiverse guy since all his Spider-Verse shenanigans. -- Al Ewing

The scope of this New Gods run's zoomed in and out - it's balanced " Apokolips and New Genesis being menaced by a force emboldened by Darkseid's death " with " Scott and Barda protecting a child of prophecy from being killed by Orion ", each issue advancing both stories.

The latter story's on Earth - issue #6 brought the former there too, consequently pulling in Superman and the Justice League.

The former'd stepped in because he'd heard Orion and Scott.

( The latter stepped in because someone else heard. )

When writing Big-2 books, unless you’re one of the handful of creators invited to plot the course of the entire shared universe, at some point you have to reconcile yourself to the notion that you are a cog in a machine. Some publishers, and some editors, are better than others at telling the cogs about the machine. Where it’s going, what it’s for. Who’s tinkering with it, and to what end. Why that new component suddenly appeared overnight, and what it means for your specific function. Ugh. More tortured metaphors. Point is, it’s easy to understand why the creative urge tends to carry a writer, when confronted with this reality, in one of two directions. They either a) aspire to become a driver of the machine, or b) focus so tightly on their own unique component within it - seeing it as a discrete device in its own right, with its own modes and motivations - that they can essentially ignore the rest. For myself, I’ve consciously tried to be in the former camp while instinctively falling into the latter. -- Si Spurrier

I think we're all kind of reevaluating who are villains and who are heroes. And being part of the establishment doesn't feel quite as heroic as it did 60 years ago, 20 years ago, not even EIGHT years ago! -- Deniz Camp
