| 1. Jack Kirby's Mister Miracle | 
|
By: Jack Kirby
Publisher: DC Comics
September 01, 1998
Mr. Miracle holds an odd place in the DC universe and in Jack Kirby's New Gods pantheon. Besides his role in the New Gods saga, Mr. Miracle is perhaps best known for his time in the Justice League International along with his wife Big Barda and his diminutive sidekick Oberon. This collection presents the first Mr. Miracle stories, revealing Mr. Miracle's origins on both Earth and in Apocalypse. The... more

| 2. Jack Kirby's The Forever People |
|
By: Jack Kirby
Publisher: DC Comics
October 01, 1999
If you need a crash course as to who Jack Kirby is and his contributions to the comic book medium, it is too long to list. Suffice to say that after revolutionizing this art form with Marvel Comics, Kirby signed on with DC to write, pencil and edit three interlocking titles which became known as "The Fourth World". Tales of God like beings who weilded both the forces of darkness and light in the perpetual... more

| 3. Jack Kirby's New Gods | 
|
By: Jack Kirby
Publisher: DC Comics
December 01, 1997
Regardless of the art direction decision to include new greys in the artwork, Kirby's brutal genius with a pencil shows through loud and clear.
Who cares about the paper, ink and binding! I'm just happy that I can pay such a small sum and have all this art in such a small space on my shelf!... more

| 4. Jimmy Olsen: Adventures by Jack Kirby - Volume 1 |
|
By: Jack Kirby
Publisher: DC Comics
August 01, 2003
Although I'm one of those rare fans who do not like Jack Kirby's artwork, I purchased the book as a starting point to better familiarize myself with Darkseid and The New Gods. Although appearances by these characters were few, there was enough material provided which set the foundations for future Fourth World stories. Kirby's storytelling inside the book is entertaining and well-paced. Although obviously... more

| 5. Showcase Presents: Warlord Vol. 1 | 
|
By: Mike Grell
Publisher: DC Comics
September 22, 2009
When I learned about this Showcase presentation of Warlord, I was excited. The Warlord was always one of my favorite titles, and when I sold books to eat, they went. At one time, I had all issues up to 80 or so. this is agreat way to revisit a thrilling book.
While the art of Mike Grell has changed, it still maintains an excitement and passion. Vinnie Colletta inks do not take... more

| 6. Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus, Vol. 1 | 
|
By: Jack Kirby
Publisher: DC Comics
May 02, 2007
I like a lot of Jack Kirby's work but, unfortunately, this series isn't top on my list. The book is well produced and all of the different series that were included in the Fourth World saga are here in chronological order which is nice but as the series progresses, admittedly, Jack becomes overwhelmed and it comes across in the work produced. The series is spread over four titles and the constant jumping... more

| 7. Orion: The Gates of Apokolips |
|
By: Walter Simonson
Publisher: DC Comics
March 01, 2001
This book was quite good. It was shorter then I expected but it didn't make me feel ripped off. I'm a big fan of Orion and Darkseid. There is a Jimmy Olsen and side group twist to the story which I didn't expect and I haven't read any of the other Fourth World books but it was still a good read on its own right. ... more

| 8. Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus, Vol. 4 |
|
By: Jack Kirby
By: Jack Kirby
Publisher: DC Comics
March 26, 2008
This fourth and last volume of "Jack Kirby's Fourth World" is a melancholy conclusion to a wonderful series. "New Gods" and "Forever People" both had the plugs pulled on them while "Mr. Miracle" limped to a conclusion through a number of more conventional superhero story lines. At least "Forever People" had a conclusion which is more than one can say about the end of "New Gods." The end of "Mr. Miracle"... more

| 9. Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus, Vol. 3 |
|
By: Jack Kirby, Mike Royer
By: Jack Kirby
Publisher: DC Comics
November 07, 2007
This volume is a bit tougher to rate than it's predecessors. It contains some of the best work Jack Kirby ever produced side by side with some real clunkers.
Though in fairness some of that is not entirely Jack's fault.
The Pact - which I remembered with startling clarity nearly four decades after I'd first read it, and probably a quarter century since I'd last seen it - is... more

By: Jack Kirby
Publisher: DC Comics
August 08, 2007
This second volume of "Jack Kirby's Fourth World" is a better read than the first one and shows how Jack Kirby continued to expand his epic vision that would revolutionize comic books. This volume continues running issues of "Jimmy Olson", "The Forever People", "The New Gods" and "Mr. Miracle." The art is spectacular and Kirby's writing has improved from the start issues in the first volume... more
