Duuude! Get amped for a rad ep of "Unspoken Issues" that looks at "Jack Kirby's Fourth World" issue #20 celebrating the legendary King Kirby! Dean, Darry, and Jesse geek out over Jack's immense impact on comics across his long career, from co-creating Marvel mainstays like Cap and the Fantastic Four to his cosmic Fourth World at DC.
They analyze this 1990s comic that pays mad respect to Kirby's far-out New Gods mythology. It's a fresh take on Kirby's trippy Forever People tales, pitting them and SUPERMAN against the evil dictator Darkseid. The hosts compare both versions and rap about how Kirby was lightyears ahead of his time, expanding minds with his boundary-crushing imagination that still amazes today!
You'll also hear them praise how John Byrne and Walt Simonson have built on the Fourth World saga across more recent mind-bending series. Any Kirby or New Gods fanboy or fangirl needs to tune in to this tubular tribute to the King!
