☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the earliest chapters of Jack Kirby's ambitious 1970s saga, reprinting the opening issues of New Gods, Mister Miracle, and The Forever People, along with the debut of the villainous Darkseid. It presents Kirby's original Fourth World saga in a reading order that interweaves the three series to follow the overarching narrative of the war between New Genesis and Apokolips. The collection also includes the initial Jimmy Olsen issues that served as a launching pad for Kirby's cosmic epic.
"...Brings Back the Newsboy Legion!" is a standout entry in Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Omnibus, spotlighting the return of the beloved Newsboy Legion in a story written and illustrated by Kirby, with additional art by Al Plastino and inks by Vince Colletta. When Jimmy Olsen is sent by his new boss Morgan Edge to cover the Whiz Wagon and the mysterious Wild Area, he uncovers secrets tied to the Outsiders and their enigmatic leader Yango—just as Superman arrives, having survived an assassination attempt by Inter-Gang, with Edge’s hand in the plot. The cover, penciled by Kirby and inked by Colletta, captures the energy of this high-stakes reunion.
