Title: New Kirby series at Marvel (sort of) Post by: Velorath on March 17, 2006, 11:02:59 PM An no, not Kirby the video game character. Quesada announced today that Marvel's Icon imprint (Marvel's imprint for creator-owned books) will be doing a series featuring a cast of Jack Kirby created characters titled Jack Kirby's Galactic Bounty Hunders (http://www.newsarama.com/WWLA06/Marvel/WWLACUPOJOE.htm). Even more noteworthy is that Kirby's daughter Lisa will be writing the book.
Now I haven't read anything by Lisa Kirby so I don't know how good this will be. I did a little digging around though and found that this project was apparently in the works under a slightly different title (http://www.genesiswest.com/phobos.html) before Marvel picked it up. From the preview it doesn't look like the greatest writing, but it could end up being fun anyway.
