Tom King’s Mister Miracle is a confusing read. With an unreliable narrator at the helm of the story, Mister Miracle rarely offers any actual sense of answers. Circumstances are regularly reset, ghosts crawl out of the ether to snark at the titular hero, and Darkseid accepts and amicably eats a carrot offered by his adoptive son. The story jumps from war to peace and back again so often that it can be difficult to parse anything that is actually happening. Even the ending is more ambiguous than most other DC comics.There is one tethering thread that reoccurs throughout Mister Miracle. In a series often devoid of much lasting hope, one fact remains true: Darkseid is. The phrase appears in white text against an otherwise black background and fills panels regularly. One of the few instances where Mister Miracle breaks its nine-panel layout is a full-page emphasis on the fact that “Darkseid is.” The New God’s unseen role in Mister Miracle cannot be overstated.Mister Miracle was not born into torment like Big Barda was. Civil war between the New Gods left his father to trade him for Darkseid’s son, and he was thrust into a hellscape for his entire childhood. Under the care of Granny Goodness, he was tortured, beaten, and left to search desperately for some means of escape. If Mister Miracle is about anything, it is a story of the insidiously dubbed Scott Free learning to cope with the horrors of his life, while grasping hopes from the depths of hopelessness. Just as Granny Goodness plays a role in the story, Darkseid’s decision to trade his child for Scott hangs over every second of the series. After all, that choice fundamentally decided the direction of his life.RELATED: One of DC’s Most Powerful New Gods Gets a Crucial Upgrade Ahead of DC’s Next Crisis
