Related: I was out of comics for most of the 90s. Was Electric Blue Superman in response to S&S legal wins?
would have had to be pre-emptive - Joanne's termination wasn't served until 1999.
The complete absence of the name "Superboy" from all ten years of the Smallville TV show ar definitely down to legal shenanigans, though - Siegel has always had a stronger, and frequently court-supported, claim to have created and owned the IP of Superboy separately.

Kirby's 2001
His adaptation or the original series he did afterwards? 'Cause that original series is awesome.
― HOLY MOPEDS (R Baez), Saturday, 8 December 2012 00:50 (eleven years ago) link
I just mean in terms of faithfulness to the source material. The 2001 series is fun, and the adaptation is one of my single favorite comics of all time.

first issue special was one of DC's 'showcase' title (ie a different character(s) in every issue) - this was prob the first time that DC had revived the Fourth World characters post-Kirby, and may have even been launched as a slight spoiler for Kirby's return to Marvel (i'm not quite sure of the dates, here) - of course, they have been revived, killed, revised etc ever since
the cover is pencilled and inked by dick giordano, btw
― Ward Fowler, Saturday, 8 December 2012 09:42 (eleven years ago) link
Weird how Darkseid gets a namecheck on that cover but Lightray doesn't, even though he's pictured on it. Also, Barda's going to catch a cold travelling through space dressed like that.

Although he possesses the powers of a god, Metron is typically depicted as a passive observer in the DC Universe rather than an active participant. He wanders in search of greater knowledge beyond his own, riding on his Mobius Chair, which can traverse time and space instantaneously.

shame all the art was completely non-Kirby-esque and contrary to facts in all other ways too

On a side note - one of the main things I enjoyed in the new Supes movie is how Kirbeyesque it is in places : the Krypton sets and costume designs, the-almost-too-much visceralness of the fight scenes, the extreme closeups of gritted teeth hero and villains. I think they beat the Marvel films (so far) in that regard.

(though I love the Cap film for how close it stuck to the Simon/Kirby semse of surreal fun)

i'm not really seeing the kirbyness of the superman movie. it seemed more like a sword and sworcery RPG. more elfquest than 4th world.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 4 July 2013 21:40 (ten years ago) link
Yikes! Having never read Elfquest I can't say I see the similarities but...yeah...I saw Kirby in there.

was there a screenshot in particular that evoked kirby for you?

No I don't have one handy but it's what I saw. Been a Kirby fan for many,many years if that helps.

Don't see any Kirby in Man of Steel either, what partic Kirby comics are you thinking of?
Closest Jack came to doing any kind of science fiction movie design was prob the Lord of Light stuff

I just got the four Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus TPBs off of the EBay. They are pretty stylin'. I've read some of them, as I used to have a near full set of the New Gods and Mister Miracle both in my old collection, but it has been years since I read them all.
FYI, on that 1st Issue Special version of the New Gods, DC did do some other New Gods related comics in the later 70s. Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers then Steve Gerber and Michael Golden did a few issues of Mister Miracle that are worth tracking down.

those post-kirby mister miracles are not gerber's finest hour (and englehart wrote some of them under an assumed name cos of editorial fuckery iirc)
that street code mini looks p sweet, gd score J.D.
