And that's it

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

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.

Chaykin is alive?

Looks pretty cool.

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?

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

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

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.

they should make Walter Simonson draw all of it

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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.

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.

Why did you specify writers only?

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.

Where is the Guardian?

Because modern artists are shit.

Neck you'reself

>Kirby homages
More Giffen goodness!

Scribbling on your gizmo ain't art, kid.

He's busy trying not to die.

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

Newsboy Legion if anything

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

>mfw I'm actually a traditional artist inking with brush and pen

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

Though I will give you colouring getting worse.

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

Thanks.

>literally birthed marvel
>no impact

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

Scott and Barda's fetish adventures, of course.

Kill me

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Stop trying to incite company wars, faggo

>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.

And the worst of it is that casuals think so.

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

Stan Lee didn't create captain America you stupid Casual

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

Spencer pls

Brilliant example of shitposting.

Title announcements aren't done directly through solicits.

Brilliant tears.

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

Prude pls

Fuck off Damifag
Go get banned

Who's the sentinel?

>sentinel
That's the Black Racer, you fucking casual.

...

Is it prudish to expect them to follow the previous creative team's set ups instead of ~20 pages of unrelated vore?

If so i'm prude as fuck.

Marvel is kinda like the fat kid at school that likes to pretend he is hot shit but cried like a bitch when he got hit during dodgeball.

>OMAC
It's been so long

hes got a new Image book coming out soon

only one of them has even made an effort to draw like kirby lol

Kevin is in Blue Beetle

That's Manhunter not OMAC

>At DC comics.
"We need a figure to strike fear in the white heroes."
"Hmmm what about a negro?"
"I like where you are going..."
"A NEGRO WHO CAN SKI!!!!"
"Holy Shit, how unnerving! Genius!"
"We've also got a negro who can scuba dive on the drawing board."
"Fuck man, I dunno, that may be taking it too far."
Arthur Ashe must have badly shaken them.

It's probably best the old-timers didn't live to see the Williams sisters or Tiger.

and he's writing the Ruff & Reddy miniseries for the DC Hanna-Barbera line

Kevin is not Buddy.

Wow, you are one stupid underage cunt. Go back to tumblr or whatever hellhole you crawled out of.

terrible

Classic projection if there ever was any.
Did you ever piss yourself in gym class?

...

The Jackie Robinson effect at DC comics was their own 9/11.

fun fact every old jew like kirby that owns a store has a schfoogie button they push to alert security that a schwatz has entered the store

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".

It's awkward that a few years ago they sued his kids

they are too busy turning every character he created into a trans mexican with aids

>By Chris Burnham

Chris you've done nothing but covers since The Nameless ended and that was December 2015

I can't decide if Timm does a real good Kirby impression or his regular style is just heavily Kirby-influenced

its inspired, he said so himself once

>Unveils JACK KIRBY Tribute One-Shots
The article mentions OMAC getting one

I figured as much, I just wanted an excuse to post some qt Furies

Go away, Sup Forums

>a-any criticism of muh precious Dee See is Sup Forums!!
Nice boogeyman.

Fuck off refartard.

That looks fucking horrible.

Well...hope the writing is good.
