I Wished I'd'a Thoughta That Dept., or.....

Supplemental Edition

Over at the Jack Kirby Blog, now connected to the website of the Kirby Museum (links to your right), is the blogger's very inventive use of modern technology to create himself an actual functioning motherbox, like your favorite 4th Worlder got at birth! The link to the posting is here: http://kirbymuseum.org/blogs/kirby/archives/852 -- but do come back.

This is a good time for Kirby fans. Lots of interesting reimaginings of classic Kirby Concepts. Of course there is the aforementioned Gaiman/Romita Eternals at Marvel, but over at DC there's the new OMAC series (where there is, finally, just one One Man Army Corps) - first issue of which came out last week. Havent had a chance to peruse yet but will review, and may do so alongside the first issue of Marvel's new Kirby-based mag, Galactic Bounty Hunters, which is being put together by the King's daughter, Lisa, and erstwhile Kirby partner Greg Thibodeaux. GBH will include some Kirby art and previously unused concepts and looks to be fun. First ish of that is out next week as well.

And with all the hinting going on that something related to the Fourth World is in the works (note the New Gods redesigned selves in the recent Mister Miracle/7 Soldiers mini) this could be a very good year for fans of ol'Jack....would that he were still here to see the outpouring...who knows, maybe he is.
