I've never taken the chance to get into DC's New Gods. I am of course familiar with the hell world Apokolips and Darkseid, but I'm more into Marvel lore than I am DC. I did notice after a quick Wiki search that the biographer Mark Evanier was the primary writer for the third New Gods series.

In my personaly collection I have issues 1-2 from the fourth series in 95, as well as a spattering of a few other New Gods tie-ins as well like Takion.
