(W/A) Jack "King" Kirby
Jack Kirby's New Gods Artist's Edition will collect Issues 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of NEW GODS - the most important Fourth World book. Written and drawn by Jack Kirby, with inks by Mike Royer on all but one issue, this classic collection was originally published by DC Comics and is the very first Artist's Edition to feature the legendary artistic prowess of "King Kirby!" Nearly every page of this Artist's Edition has been scanned from the original art, and is presented in the multi award-winning format that was conceived and first presented by IDW Publishing!
Jack Kirby has correctly been called the King of Comics. In a career that began in the Golden Age of Comics, Kirby virtually kick-started the medium. He created (or co-created): Captain America, Manhunter, The Newsboy Legion, The Fantastic Four, Challengers of the Unknown, The X-Men, The Incredible Hulk... the list goes on and on. Now, for the first time ever, you can see Jack Kirby's stunning originals in all their full-sized glory-You think you've seen Jack Kirby's art before? You ain't seen nothing yet!
My life is complete. Seriously. When IDW started pumping these amazing editions out, my one thought was, "Oh please please please do a Kirby New Gods one!!" Time went by and I just assumed my prayers had gone unanswered, but OH HOLY SH*T it's gonna be here on Wednesday I'm so freaking excited I feel like my head's gonna burst with Kirby Krackle any minute!! This is, by far, the best of the best of the Kirby cannon in the way Kirby meant for you to see it--F'ING HUGE!! Don't look at the price tag, just come in, grab it off the shelf, bring it to the counter and thank your lucky stars that you even have the PRIVILEGE to buy something this amazing. KIRBY WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE--RESPECT THE KING OF COMICS!!!

(W/A) Kaare Andrews
• K'UN LUN under attack!
• Danny Rand returns to the aid of his adopted home, but will he make it in time?
• More of the secret origin of Iron Fist!
"Become the machine." These were Kaare Andrew's words in the back of the first issue after he told the story of how a single Steranko comic forever changed the way he looked at art and the act of creation. I love it when people can point to a single experience that changed their life with such absolute clarity to the most minute detail of even how the comic smelled, how the pages felt--everything about it all rolled up into one perfect moment of inspiration. That love and desire to create without fear of failing is like that of plunging your fist into the flaming belly of the dragon to become the living weapon itself--the Iron Fist.

Constructing and maintaining all of heaven and earth is an immense task, which God has

creation, as well as one lonely man in LA who gets to hear the whole story of a most
unspeakable crime: a murder in paradise!
