Death of the New Gods

In the 70s Jack Kirby created the forth world, which is basically a personification of Heaven and Hell with Darkseid being a sort of Satan figure.  Before the 2011 reboot of DC, they decided to kill all of the New Gods except for Darkseid.  This I guess caused a bit of an uproar as some of these New Gods were integral parts of some comics, such as Miracle Man and Big Barda.  The artwork and writing was done by Jim Starlin who made the comic, as is his style, with a retro feel to it.  The drawings seemed a little outdated, and his writing was not as fast as modern writing.  I enjoyed the story in that it made sense, and of course I love the breakdown of time and the universe.  I am really starting to appreciate the DC Universe more and more.
