VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Kurt Busiek (A) Alex Ross, Jackson Herbert (C) Alex Ross The Kirby Event of the new millennium begins here, brought to you by the best-selling and award-winning creators of MARVELS! The Pioneer 10 space probe carried a message to the stars. Now an answer's on the way - but not one we expected! When it arrives, the lives of three ordinary people - and the entire world - will be changed forever. Featuring Captain Victory, Silver Star and more of Jack Kirby's greatest concepts, including characters never before seen in comics form! Kurt Busiek (Astro City) and Alex Ross (Kingdom Come) team up for their first full collaboration since 1994, with finished art (from Alex's layouts) by Jack Herbert (Black Terror). Don't miss this tantalizing prelude to KIRBY: GENESIS - a bold, explosive adventure debuting a universe of wild Kirby creations! This is the beginning. This is THE Genesis! This 32 page book will features a 12-page original story as well as tons of bonus material Date Available: 05/25/2011 BONUS REVIEW by JOHN SCHAEFER  Pick a cover, any cover. Although I am not a big fan of multiple covers for a book, Alex Ross, Paul Renaud, and Ryan Sook each demonstrate their talents based on Jack Kirby's neverending ideas. After Ross's dynamic renderings in the Project SuperPowers titles, I thought I had seen the best. But after seeing Jack Kirby himself rendered by Ross, I was proven wrong. Kirby with pipe gently clentched in mouth staring down at his creation in the darkened office was inspiring. Any amature cartoonist or doodleist should frame that page and hang it on the wall directly over their drawing desk. All that wrapped in a story involving Pioneer 10 and a young Kirby and Bobbi is worthy twice the asking price. What many newer readers might not know is that some of these characters not only appeared in independant publisher PC Comics but in a short lived series of books from Topps Comics. Heads up people and check your local comic stores back issues for such titles as Captain Glory, Secret City Saga, and Nightglider. Welcome back again Jack, Thanks Alex. 10 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
