• The Fourth World reaches its zenith
  
  In Volume III, Kirby's best work on the Fourth World appears. Even Jimmy Olsen picks up due to Royer's inks adding a sense of action formerly missing. This is the volume where Kirby hits his peak and all of the books reach high points in both story and art.

The story that contains this error is "The Pact" from New Gods, one of the best issues of the whole series unfortunately. Also, the index lists that Mister Miracle #10 is included as the last story... more info
