And that's it

Is King's Mister Miracle a different project from this?

>>92461278
Yep. That’s a 12 issue limited series.

Considering the "talent" DC has under exclusives I'm not getting excited just yet about these one shots.

>>92461223
Chaykin is alive?

Looks pretty cool.

>>92461130
As long as Johns isn't involved everything will be fine. But I really think this is probably just a gimmick.

Why announce something without creative teams? Haven't they learned their lesson from MArvel?

>>92461459
Solicits on Monday, I imagine we’ll get them there.

>>92461386
Because Williamson, Tynion, Pak, Abnett, Lobdell or Orlando would be so much better...

>>92461459
Learned what? They announced a bunch of x-title without creative teams and they still created a lot of buzz with people talking about them and talking about what they'll pick up. I'd even say they debuted at good numbers. The one thing they learned from marvel is that 80% of wednesday warriors don't give a shit about the creative teams.

>>92461130
they should make Walter Simonson draw all of it

>>92461223
Neat. I bet Chaykin's gonna go full Sweet Smell of Success here

>>92461497

Orlando is fine as long as he's not required to write teams.

>>92461576
Orlando is abysmal unless he's writing Midnighter.

>For Jack Kirby's 100th anniversary DC releases the Kamandi Challenge, celebratory one-shots, a new Mister Miracle series and a Fourth World omnibus
>For Jack Kirby's 100th anniversary Marvel released a bunch of digitally recolored Kirby covers as variants and that's it
What did they mean by this?

>>92461559
I suspect he might be writing one of these.

>It's Ain't Me starts playin

If the Kamandi Challenge is anything to go by the creative teams will be the most boring, generic names you could imagine. Also a fucking sausagefest

>>92461606
To be fair, they also made Captain America a nazi.

>>92461606
Hey now! They're also letting Slott continue his raping of the Silver Surfer.

>>92461606
4th world had a much bigger on DCU than anything Kirby did for Marvel

>>92461691
Has anyone asked Stan Lee how he feels about this?

Take your bets, take your bets!. Which book will Conner and Palmiotti be writing?

Will be Orion? Mr. Miracle? OMAC? Newsboy Legion? Manhunter?

>>92461678
>Sausagefest
How many good women writers even work in mainstream comics?

>>92461727
>Fourth World meant more to the DCU than Fantastic Four did to Marvel
>being such a retard that you'd even make this statement

>>92461759
Not that many, but there are a few. And furthermore there's plenty of great women artists. Also, looking at the writers they picked for Kamandi challenge, talent wasn't something they were looking for.

>>92461780
Fantastic Four can't mean that much if they were so easily thrown in the closet and don't even have a comic right now.

>>92461759
Why did you specify writers only?

>>92461727
I love the 4th World, but that's blatantly unture.

He defined the look and tone of, at the very least, around 50% of Marvel's major characters/Franchises. DC could still be recognizable without him, but Marvel minus Kirby would be completely different.

>>92461223
Where is the Guardian?

>>92461837
Because modern artists are shit.

>>92461889
Neck you'reself

>Kirby homages
More Giffen goodness!

>>92461915
Scribbling on your gizmo ain't art, kid.

>>92461740
He's busy trying not to die.

>>92461873
His secret identity is a Police Officer, so its safe to assume that's him on the cover.

>>92461750
Newsboy Legion if anything

>>92461298
They'll be written by James Tynion, Josh Williamson, Robert Venditti, Dan Abnett, Dan Jurgens, and Scott Lobdell

Mignola often works with sharpies and similar pens. Tools dont make the artist.

Though I will give you colouring getting worse.

>>92462079
Don't for DC favorite couple Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner

>>92462047

fuck you, Kamandi Challenge is very good, despite the names attached

>>92461750
Scott and Barda's fetish adventures, of course.

Kill me

>>92461727
I think he did way more for Marvel, which actually makes Marvel look like assholes for doing basically nothing for him on his 100th anniversary

>>92462185
Ah, let marvelfags hate. They're having quite an annus horribilis.

>>92462185
Only issue #3 was bad, and thats mostly because it ignored the god-tier set ups like the Manhunters in #2 for fetish shit.

>>92461130
>Kamandi Challenge
>Bug
>Mister Miracle
>new collections
>now this

why doesn't Marvel do anything to celebrate the King?

>>92462232
Because Stan Lee is the one true person who did everything to make Marvel what is is today. Nobody's ever heard or will ever care about this "Jack Kirby" guy.

>>92462218
Stop trying to incite company wars, faggo

>>92462227
>We grow green veggie people that are our slaves until we eat them
>Those 2 bat people that they escaped with get off paneled and eaten by the time they wake up
That was such a weird issue. I do not want to be whoever has to write issue 4.

>>92462271
And the worst of it is that casuals think so.

>>92461497
I'm not saying that, I'm saying Darkseid war show us how Johns manages the new gods.

>>92461740
Stan Lee didn't create captain America you stupid Casual

>>92462345
And I'm saying that those people are just as bad.

>>92462436
Spencer pls

>>92462482
Brilliant example of shitposting.

>>92461485
Title announcements aren't done directly through solicits.

>>92462548
Brilliant tears.

>>92462227
That's Palmiotti and Amanda for you. They'll disregard any plot in favor of fetish shit

If so i'm prude as fuck.

>>92463540
Black Racer is literally the first Black "super hero" at DC comics, in 1971.
before that, black characters were relegated to "that hulking guy in the platoon".

Why? Aside from Burnham and Sienkiewicz they're terrible. Haven't seen Timm's art in a while but that cover looks bad so maybe he's lost it.

>>92464792
Not argument. Keep crying though, boogeymanfag.

>>92461606
All of DC's Kirby stuff has a very grandiose air to it.
All of Marvel's Kirby stuff has been shilled to shit already

>>92461606
Modern DC has always honored Kirby more because they don't have to pretend that anyone else wrote his stories for him.

>>92461606
Didio loves kirby.

Marvel prefers Lee always. That's why they change the costumes alot and prefer marketing the writer rather than both.

>>92465580
Not him, but calling him /tv/ over and over again isn't really much of an argument.

>>92466458
>Not him
Prove it.

>>92465071
Because I'm broke but would want to buy all of these if the teams were good

>>92465946
Do you think that Marvel will pay Kirby more attention after Stan kicks it?

>>92464326
Or /pol/ don't worry it's. Just that. This board is literal garbage

>>92468242
Then go back to /tv/, casual. Or did they permaban you?

>>92465946
Don't be talking about respect and DC in the same sentence, they had Curt Swan draw over Kirby's pencils. Carmine Infantino didn't get Kirby. DC treated Kirby just as bad. Simon was just as bad as Lee. Kirby went back to Marvel after the Hunger Dogs debacle. Also it'll be nice of DC to dig a little deeper into stuff like The Losers or Dingbats of Danger Street. Shit just get Gaiman to do a Sandman issue where he teams up with Dodds. >>92474998 this and a Jimmy Olsen one would be sweet too.


and why the fuck can't they get Scoli on something? or Frank Quietly. that guy drew the New Gods spot on with Len Wein rewriting New Gods #1 issue.

>>92461711
Although Kirby came up with Silver Surfer, Lee made it his own thing. Kirby wanted the Surfer to be more of an angel of death and Lee saw some potential to do a tragic character. That's why for awhile only Lee would write the Surfer.

>>92475477
>they had Curt Swan draw over Kirby's pencils
And Colletta. Because Kirby drew Superman like a fucking Neanderthal.

>>92475811
of course you had to type "modern" cause DC has just as many skeletons in their closet as Marvel.

Modern DC editorial fucks over Morrison on Final Crisis by having the New Gods killed off. Love Starlin but that was awful. Blame editorial for pushing this forward at the last minute for no good reason.

you DC distinguished cocksucker fag get that Dan Dildo out of your mouth and see that both companies are the worst.

Waiting to see what Pacific comics will do for Kirby's 100th.

>>92461130
Why don't they just put his fourth world stuff back in print? Fucking dicks

>>92476291
>Modern DC editorial fucks over Morrison on Final Crisis by having the New Gods killed off.
Literal retard without a reading comprehension. They were already dead as far as Morrison was concerned, Seven Soldiers confirms that. What DC was doing was just cashing out on a mega event hype, as they should.
And how the fuck does killing New Gods is fucking Morrison over? It had no effect on his story in any way whatsoever and he pretty much ignores anything and everything he wants. Stop being a Marvelcuck retard.

Downside: 1500 pages is way too much for a DC omnibus, but it will at least maybe make the individual hardcovers cheaper now that there is an alternative out there.

Are... Am I reading this?

Like the entirity of the Marvel Universe is thanks to Kirby. For DC he added in the 4th World and Kamandi to the already existing universe.

How fucking stupid are you?!

When did Kirby start getting awesome? I've read some of his early 60s material (FF, X-Men) and it hasn't really blown me away like some of the insane 70s material I've seen.

>>92476691
Around the time Galactus shows up

>>92461298
The DC/Barbara crossovers the other month were fantastic, and the Looney Toons crossovers appear to be shaping up to be well received.

>>92476772

This.

>>92461130
You forgot to mention the release schedule: every week of August 2017, unlike the H-B and Looney Tunes crossovers.

>>92461171
b-but there's also King's Mister Miracle comic coming out soon.

>>92461249
I'm a little more interested in this.
>Beware the Batman had a neat sorta retro-Manhunter episode
>But the show was already dead and rotting, so nobody cared

>>92476691
Well for starters, I don't think the Lee Kirby X-Men run was a particularly flattering place to start.
Maybe come back to it later if you decide that you like Kirby enough and want to read it.

>>92461727

Creating the Marvel universe might have had an impact on the Marvel universe. Just sayin.

It was nice having a good take on Manhunter outside the comics, since Arrow shat on both Kate Spencer and Mark Shaw.
