Description

Jack Kirby reinvented the superhero genre with his sprawling saga of the Fourth World--a bold storytelling vision that was decades ahead of its time. In honor of this extraordinary talent's centennial, DC Comics is proud to re- present the groundbreaking work of the King of Comics in a brand-new series of trade paperback editions collecting his classic DC titles in all their four- color glory! At the heart of the Fourth World is The New Gods, a series whose scale and grandeur have astonished readers for generations. And at the center of Kirby's startlingly original pantheon of larger-than-life characters are two of comics' greatest adversaries: Orion of New Genesis and Darkseid of Apokolips! Ranging across space and time, these implacable foes are locked in a ceaseless struggle to control the fundamental forces of the universe. But this pair are more than mortal enemies--they are also father and son! Raised in exile as a living instrument of peace between Apokolips and New Genesis, Orion swore to uphold the life-affirming values of his adopted world. But the bottomless rage and thirst for combat that course through his veins cannot be extinguished. In the end, will he defeat Darkseid and thwart his quest for the Anti-Life Equation--or will he forsake his vow and seize the ultimate power for himself? See cosmic fury unleashed--and thrill to the imaginative power of one of the medium's greatest masters--in New Gods by Jack Kirby, collecting issues 1-11 of the legendary series together with the King's two concluding tales, "Even Gods Must Die!" and "The Hunger Dogs!"

  • Epic, Imaginative, Worth Reading (And Okay, A Little Goofy)
Even if you've barely read comics, there's a good chance you've heard of Jack Kirby. I've been reading DC comics for years, but I somehow never managed to go back and read this run of New Gods. Boy am I glad I did. This is an epic story that's truly imaginative in the purest sense of the word. There are twists and turns in the plot, and fascinating details and history of the worlds of New Genesis and Apokolips, but the real impressive work is in the characters and their relationships with one another--these mythical figures from advanced civilizations that are instantly familiar but unique enough to hold your interest. One big caveat for newer readers though. It seems obvious, but because this was written in the 70s~ the storytelling is very...of the time. So that means a lot of silliness that might be a little self aware but is still played pretty seriously. Smoke capsules in car tailpipes. Goofy human characters as reader surrogates who say things like, "But I'm Victor Lanza! An insurance executive! A family man! My wife makes me carry an umbrella in case it rains!" Even the main character, Orion, is supposed to be a conflicted, brooding hero trying to overcome his violent nature, but I kept cracking up at how over-the-top and brutish he was (yes, I understand some of that is purposeful, but boy is it extreme), to the point where most characters, even his friends, are like "Wow, you're really brutal and kind of a d*ck, maybe take it easy?" But that's all part and parcel with the kind of comic and story this is, and you just have to go along with the ride. This whole undertaking is truly a feat when you consider it all came from the mind of one man. If you're a DC comics reader, or even just a little bit curious, I really recommend reading this at least once. There's not a lot else out there that's quite like it. And on that note, I leave you with an image of a couple of awkward panels that had me laughing out loud for a good minute.* *P.S., I've read a lot of later stories like Final Crisis, Mister Miracle etc., and I always kind of thought to myself, wow some of these New Gods are real jerks! Now that I've finally read the original story, I can confirm that they were all at least a little bit jerkish from the get-go(particularly Metron)! But that doesn't make them, or their worlds, any less fascinating. ... show more

  • This is why they called Kirby the King of Comics
The Fourth World was Kirby's last great series, second only to the classic Fantastic Four period when he created Galactus and the Inhumans and so much more. Sadly I don't think DC supported the Fourth World to the degree they could have. Kirby was always ahead of his time and needed time to establish his world building. Myself, I love his Fourth World series, the New Goods, Mister Miracle, and The Forever People. Always surprising, fun, and interesting. The art is usually epic, amazing, though sometimes a bit clunky, I assume because he was rushed. I consider Kirby (as well as Ditko's Spider-Man and Dr. Strange) to be the apex of whole family comics, unlike today's comics which usually seem more aimed at older teens or adults. To me Kirby is great adventure, like reading Jules Verne or HG Wells. ... show more

  • Classic Kirby
A wonderful, visually gorgeous reproduction of the graphic classic. This was one of Kirby's finest contributions as part of his revolutionary career in comics, and it has a lasting appeal to a contemporary audience. It was stunning to take it in on my tablet via kindle.

  • It’s purel Jack Kirby, for God’s sake.
Not as smooth as Marvel, but he’s definitely got his sites set high here. If you think Jack Kirby is great, than this stuff is great.

  • Started out very well, then.....
This is the best of the Jack Kirby-created series that I have read. The first year is superb - well told stories that flow well. The last part is rushed and jumps around. It seems Kirby had a much longer story in mind, and was forced to end it a year or more earlier than he expected. The last few comics are jilted and largely summarized in narration, unfortunately. Still, the New Gods stories, ironically, rely very little Deus Ex Machina, as most of Kirby's other stories do, so they are much more enjoyable to read. As always, the art is good. ... show more

  • One of the best of Jack "the king" Kirby's creations!
This volume collects the whole original New Gods run, as well as the Hunger Dogs one shot, another great part of this is the Who's who files on specific characters that were in the original New Gods run. My brother is a fan of Kirby's work and he created a legend that endures to this day, from the ruler of apokalips Darkseid to the benevolent High Father ruler of New Genesis, this in my brother's opinion proves why Jack is the one of the best talents that were in comics industry and his legacy continues to this very day. He hopes old and new fans enjoy this volume of the original New Gods run. ... show more

  • Jack Kirby's new universe!
When Jack Kirby left Marvel comics for DC, everyone wondered if he could fit in with such iconic characters such as Superman, Batman etc. Well, Jack sidestepped that and created his way own universe filled with action and imagination! He was at his creative peak and it shows. For a reader who wants something completely different from the usual comic book fare, this IS a must read! ... show more
