About this episode

The episode explores the character Mister Miracle, his origins, and his complex backstory.

Jeremy and Chris pull back the curtain on one of the most dynamic "new gods", Scott Free, aka, Mister Miracle. A unique character created by Jack Kirby while at DC, this escape artist by trade, and extra powerful extra-terrestrial by birth, Mister Miracle has an almost Shakespearean backstory. He's got the responsibilities of a powerful world warring general, with a relatable desire for a normal family life. We cover his origin, publication history, reading recommendations, adaptations, and of course a fun "what-if" question.
