Mr. Miracle is part of the myths of DC known as the fourth world, home to the new gods of double planets a new being and Apocolips. The fourth world is the work of the comic book Jackec Kirby, co-creator of the Marvel Universe and one of the most important artists of the media. Kirby was thinking about the fourth world and his characters like Darkseid while working in Marvel and brought the ideas with him when he moved to DC in 1970.

"Mr. Miracle" was one of the original three fourth world comics written and drawn by Kirby, along with "new gods" and "forever." Mr. Miracle is the son of Heiteu, the ruler of the utopian new being. To put an end to the conflict with Apocolips and his ruler Darkseid, the new gods made a pact: High Father and Darkseid will exchange sons.

The tall raised the son of Darkseid Orion with Loveubov as his boyfriend. Darkseid gave his son's son to his tormentor, grandmother goodness. The boy never stopped trying to escape, earning his nickname "Scott Free", and in the end, he lived until his name. Enabling the way to the earth, Scott used his experience to become a professional escape artist: Mr. Miracle. He is married to Big Barda, a former leader of the senior guardian of Darkseid and Grandma, Femaleen's Hughes. (Kirby based in Jimim Steranco's Scott, another comic artist, as well as an escape artist, and Bardo was based on Kirby's wife, Ros.)

But despite his new Loveub and life, Scott is still haunted by his childhood father and adoptive. During King and Gerads's "Mr. Miracle", the character suffers from depression and tries to "escape" what suicide attempted suicide. He survives, and the rest of the series follows him and Bardo is trying to enjoy a normal life. That life is interrupted by their involvement in the deployment to fight in a renewed conflict between the new being and Apocolips (King's military background note?).

The synopsis of the animated "Mr. Miracle" sounds like remains faithful to the comic: "(a) frightening, funny, heart trip through the traps of ordinary and extraordinary as the Son of God, raised by the devil, tries to save his family, his world and maybe even himself."

It makes sense that the series is animated. The original designs of Kirbi's colorful characters fit it better than live action. Animation in general is the cinema closest to the comic books. (Both are for drawings brought to life.) King did not work in animation before, but it is not uncommon for animators to start as a comic book. The story and comic book drawing are similar art forms. One question I have is how this story will work without Being a comic book. Each "Mirthine Miracle" page is a network of nine panels to show how Scott feels trapped. The flow of panels often breaks down from those showing a black cavity and the words "Darkseid's", showing how it haunts our leading character. Can the show use different tricks for the same effect? Since King himself is at the forefront of adjusting to his own story, I am convinced that he will find a way.
