New on the comic front

By Jessica Schneider Jun 3, 2008, 15:11 GMT

The NYT has a very lengthy article about all things comic related. Some of the topics include Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, specifically “Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Omnibus” that is selling for $49.99 each, courtesy of DC Comics.
The article notes Kirby’s three recent titles, which include: “The Forever People,” “The New Gods” and “Mister Miracle.”The reviewer also notes the Kirby biography called “Kirby: King of Comics” which is published by Abrams.
“His characters are always in motion, leaping and punching at impossible angles, straining at the panels that try to contain them. Kirby’s writing was the same way. His stories were linear — even primitive. But there is something powerful and melancholy and personal that weeps in Orion’s epic, city-smashing rages,” the reviewer states about Kirby.
The article also features a comic slideshow, so readers are encouraged to visit and find out more.
