Summary: These are DC's Best Charecters.. Thanks to Jack.
Comment: In the words of Stan Lee. "Jack Kirby was a genius". And read both his Marvel work and all THE NEW GODS stories, and you can see. These are stories about characters that are both mythological and human. These would make great movies also.

Summary: One fourth of Kirby's Fourth World ...
Comment: I am waiting for Mark Evanier and the folk's at DC to realize Jack Kirby's Fourth World isn't complete without the DNA Project, Intergang, Dabney Donovan, the Evil Factory and ... well, the list goes on. Give us Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen! Granted, the 1st half of Kirby's run on the title wasn't the flagship for Kirby's Fourth World. The series really took off with the second half during the '25-cent, Bigger&Better' phase. So, come on DC, complete the reprinting of Kirby's Fourth World and introduce readers to some dynamite storytelling, Kirby style!

Summary: Not Quite The Fourth World
Comment: This book is somehwat mistitled. This is actually the second half of the run of Mister Miracle published after the Forever People and New Gods were cancelled by DC in the 70s. The result is a scaled down series concentrating more on the core characters Scott, Barda, Oberon, and Shilo Norman and less on the Darkseid/Anti-Life War, which seems almost ignored until the last story. The cancellations of the other two books adversely affected this title as it seems that much of the momentum generated by the Anti-Life story was lost. Who knows what would have happened if Jack Kirby was allowed to continue his story to its completion? Not even Jack might have known, but it probably would have been powerful and thrilling.
Hopefully, DC will get around to re-releasing two more New Gods stories: the final comics chapter written in the 80s baxter format book and the Hunger Dogs graphic novel. These may not have been the conclusion that Jack originally intended but are powerful stories in their own right. The Fourth World characters have proven to be compelling and enduring, thirty years after they were first introduced. Pick up the New Gods, Forever People and the other Mr Miracle trade papaerbacks to see some of the finest storytelling by comics' greatest legend.
