I haven't picked up any of the Countdown Specials, but when I saw Kamamdi on this weeks list, I immediately pulled it. This is the continuing story of "The Last Boy on Earth" story from Countdown 06 and 05 (which served as a prequel of sorts.) Even though this is a reprint, I was immediatley enthralled with the book. Kirby's art is great and leaps off the page. I was lucky enough to see the original splash page in a museum a few years ago, and it is breathtaking.The writing had good flow and still holds up today. If you really enjoyed Countdown 06 and 05, you should definitely pick this up.

I bought it. Well worth the money as it is Kirby. I was really surprised at how much Kirby lifted from "Planet of the Apes" & "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" in the first issue. The remaining issues are great and wild, over the top, Kirby-style cosmic story & action. Man, he's got a real thing for giant-brained mutants as another one makes an appearance here -- "The Misfit". Has the entire run of "Kamandi" been collected?

I was really, really tempted to pick this up... maybe I will next week.
