KIRBY GENESIS #2

The Midnight Swan is on the loose! The Wanderer has reached Earth! The Godrealms are opened, the Lightning Lady is freed, and dark alliances are formed that even Silver Star and Galaxy Green may not be able to stand against. And in the middle of all this, one young man searches for his lost friend — only to run afoul of Thunderfoot, the Half-Human. The explosion of cosmic wonder and unbridled adventure ramps up, as Kirby: Genesis continues!

Also featuring Captain Victory, Dragonsbane and the Mythics, the Pioneer Two and more!

    I really enjoyed last issue.  I love the real world aspect.

    I was skeptical that this would just be a chance to cash in on Kirby’s name. And, sure, to some extent it is that… but I was immediately grabbed by the premise and have high hopes. (I loved learning that Kirby really had suggested sending superhero pictures of our species on the Pioneer space probe!)

    I’m really liking this so far…the 0 issue didn’t wow me in terms of story, but the art’s been breathtaking in 0 and 1 and the story has much improved.  Surprised more people aren’t picking this up!

    I’m giving Genesis a shot, but am definitely not planning to start buying another family of books. Alex Ross is no Jack Kirby … If you want proof just read Project Superpowers.

    Alot going on in this issue, but I really liked the feeling of being in on the ground floor of a universe being born.  The character designs are a little dated, which is to be expected, but it gives it that old school cred.  I had a lot of fun with this issue.
