DC definitely saved the best for last when it comes to their Jack Kirby 100 specials. Darkseid Special #1 has two major selling points - it features Kirby's most iconic DC creation and it's written by renowned Kirby historian Mark Evanier. The end result is a comic that effortlessly evokes the classic New Gods stories in tone and style.
Though Darkseid is ostensibly the star of "The Resistance," Evanier keeps the ruler of Apokolips at a distance for much of this story. This is probably the wisest course of action. Darkseid is not a character who's easily humanized, nor does he necessarily benefit from that treatment in the first place. Instead, Evanier's script focuses mainly on a small, ragtag resistance cell led by a woman named Makayla. As much as Fourth World tales tend to focus on the larger-than-life conflicts between the New Gods themselves, it's always interesting to catch a glimpse of how the average Joe fares on Apokolips.
