"That's the King for you...creates whole universes before breakfast like it's nothin'!"
A great description for The King.
A love letter to Jack Kirby and his fertile imagination from Alan Moore's Supreme.
I LOVE Alan Moore's Supreme. I read it almost every year. It reminds me how great Superman CAN be.
And it even (by using pastiches) sheds light on the fact that Superman DOES have a great Rogues Gallery.
There's very few artists who should be legally allowed to do a King Kirby character -- guys lile Walt Simonson and Ron Frenz -- but Steve "The Dude" Rude should also be high on that list.
The Dude knows The King.
Even though it did transform into X-Force in the 90's and also had Generation X as a successor, New Mutants is just so beautifully 80's. I can just hear the 80's soundtrack from the looks of these issues.
A 12-issue Avengers/Invaders crossover.
All Marvel charaters yet it was co-published with Dynamite? How does that happen? A JSA/Legion of Super-Heroes crossover isn't co-published by Image.
Weird.
The Tablet of Time story from Amazing Spider-Man. Not on a cool comic story but nicely adapted by the cartoon series in the 90s.
Back when you can have an extended story and still have every issue be a story unto itself.
Golden Age non-powered heroes were masked mysterymen
Silver Age non-powered heroes were more like scientific adventurers.
In the early 90s when collectors started going crazy over X-Men back issues, I picked up back issue X-Factors because they were cheaper. Now these Simonson issues are more nostalgic for me than their X-Men counterparts.
