The Newsboy Legion, with a bit of financial assistance from Morgan Edge of the Galaxy Broadcasting System (new owners of the Daily Planet) have built a Supercar to transport Jimmy Olsen to the Wild Area, a strange place where motorcycle gangs roam the land, and anyone over 25 isn’t trusted.Ĭlark Kent is reluctant to trust Jimmy with this task, but Morgan Edge brushes off his concern…then has Intergang hit and run Clark Kent to kill him, so he’d stop investigating. Jimmy Olsen meets up with the Newsboy Legion, a group of characters Joe Simon and Jack Kirby created in the 40s. Where else would one start, than from the beginning? Feel free to hold off on reading my review until you've had a chance if you're interested in following along. Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #133-135 ()Įven Gods Must Die, the 48 page special from the six issue reprint of The New Gods Alongside the monthly Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen, Kirby also created the bimonthly Forever People, The New Gods, and Mister Miracle, telling the tale of his war of the gods through four comics over the course of three years.įor those who wish to follow along with my reread of my single favorite comic run ever, here is the reading order used in The Fourth World Omnibus by Jack Kirby, the largest single tome I've ever owned: You wouldn't think a story that began in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen could be a great work, but Jack Kirby found a way (even introducing Darkseid in said Comic). Of all of Kirby's works, his greatest, his Magnum Opus, is The Fourth World. Written, Drawn, and Edited by Jack Kirby was the times, and he did not start off slow. When Jack Kirby returned to DC for the first time in ages, he came in with editorial control. To me, Kirby at his best was Kirby at his freest.
With Joe Simon, he created Captain America, with Stan Lee, he created the Fantastic Four, X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Black Panther and others.īut, we're not here for Kirby collaborations.
Among all comic creators new and old, few have quite the massive wealth of creations under their name quite like Jack Kirby.
