    Short summary describing this character.

    Orion by Walter Simonsion

    If ever there was someone to carry on the tale started by Jack Kirby, it has to be (former Thor writer) Walter Simonson. These comics follow the tale of Orion beginning with doubts raised over his true parentage, before embarking on numerous paths such as heroism, failure and redemption.

    In this volume, readers are treated to high-caliber story telling, with quality backup features by very memorable guest artists and writers such as Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb as they recount tales of the very complex and dynamic world created by the legendary Jack Kirby.

    Orion is one of DC Comics most loved characters. With a host of memorable and familar characters, this 25-issue volume takes a look at the flawed individual of Orion - which is often overlooked because he is a God, as the Dog of War battles on past the evils of the universe to live another day.

    An essential read for all Fourth World enthusiasts.
