Cerebus In Hell Does Jack Kirby's New Gods- New Varks In April 2023

Dave Sim's Cerebus In Hell from April 2023 looks to mirror Jack Kirby's New Gods, in what seems a much more classic parody from the good times.


Cerebus In Hell brings a new one shot to April 2023 from Dave Sim and friends and does the big trick or not leading with some trans/woke/antifa hot-button rabble-rousing affair. Instead its a take on Jack Kirby's New Gods as New Varks.  Here's how the Cerebus In Hell Presents: New Varks cover looks in the Aardvark-Vanaheim solicitations.

In recent years, Dave Sim has taken his highly regarded 300-issue Cerebus graphic novel and transformed it into the ridiculed-then-mostly-ignored Cerebus In Hell. A series of one-shot cut-and-paste strips using his own work and that of Gustave Doré, alongside the likes of Carson Grubaugh and David Birdsong railing against and mocking what he sees as society's and comic books' moral deficiencies, with a series of Cerebus In Hell comics. And with each one-shot, tries to parody some aspect of comics and comics history in its cover and name, hoping to get some confused sales along the way along with a new issue number one. And, drop by drop, destroying what remains of his creative reputation. Maybe it's not too late to turn it around? He's doing signed versions as well now…
