a Jack Kirby project, helmed by his daughter Lisa comes to Marvel's creator-owned ICON imprint.

The new title is called Jack Kirby's Galactic Bounty Hunters. The new series is a creator-owned property, that features characters and concepts created by the late Jack Kirby, as expanded on by his daughter Lisa Kirby and Mike Thibodeaux. According to Quesada, it's a very personal story for Lisa, metaphorically dealing with her relationship with her father against a cosmic backdrop of fantastic characters and wild vistas. It also features appearances by other Kirby-owned characters such as Captain Victory.


All the fun of Topps' Kirbyverse without the collectible chromium cards.

Wow.

Reminds me of that series that Kirby did with Image (and later Pacific) around the time of his death - Phantom Force, IIRC.

But at Marvel...........wow.

Actually, it seems very reminiscent for a couple reasons. If memory serves, Thibedoux was involved with that too, and there was Captain Victory involved in that as well.
