☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of DC's Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus series continues the epic saga of the New Gods, Darkseid, and the war for the fate of the universe, collecting issues from Kirby's original 1970s Fourth World titles including The New Gods, Mister Miracle, The Forever People, and Jimmy Olsen. It features the escalating conflict between the forces of Apokolips and New Genesis, with key storylines such as the introduction of the villainous Desaad and the ongoing battle for the Anti-Life Equation. This edition presents the material in chronological order, preserving the full scope of Kirby's visionary cosmic mythology.
In "The Kingdom of the Damned," Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Omnibus #2 delivers a pulse-pounding chapter where Jimmy and the Newsboy Legion uncover the sinister Evil Factory—tied to the mysterious creatures haunting Scotland—while the San Diego Five String Mob narrowly escapes Superman and Guardian through a chaotic Boom Tube. With Kirby’s signature dynamism and Colletta and Anderson’s sharp inking, this story pulses with the mythic scale and relentless energy that define the Fourth World. The cover by Kirby and Royer captures the moment’s intensity, a striking visual echo of the tale within.
In "Genocide Spray!", Superman and Jimmy Olsen dive into the mysterious past of Transilvane, uncovering long-buried truths that ripple through the present. Meanwhile, the Newsboy Legion bears witness to the chilling conclusion of the man who killed the original Jim Harper—events that echo far beyond a single, violent act.
In "A Big Thing in a Deep Scottish Lake!", Jimmy and the Newsboy Legion dive into the misty highlands of Scotland on a bizarre assignment from Morgan Edge, chasing rumors of a legendary sea monster beneath a remote loch—while Superman and Guardian find themselves tangled in trouble at the mysterious, otherworldly club known as the Cosmic Carousel.
In "Brigadoom!", Jimmy and the Newsboy Legion race through the shadows of a hidden Evil Factory, tracing the source of the bizarre creatures haunting Scotland, while the San Diego Five String Mob narrowly escapes Superman and Guardian through a swirling Boom Tube—chaos unfolds across dimensions, and the line between hero and hunt feels thinner than ever.
