He worked with Michael Fleisher on plotting some ideas during this time at 2000ad. It was a pretty interesting read, but fair to say his involvement was fairly minimal.

Hippolyta, one time Amazon Queen and daughter of Ares and now Sceneshifter for IP, is stranded in an alternate reality Brazil where she must deliver mysterious parcels in the jungle to stop the collapse of reality.
Quote from: 13school on 25 March, 2024, 09:25:05 AMOn that point, aside from The Hunger Dogs, there's another "ending" Kirby did for The New Gods buried in the last few issues of Captain Victory (I think #10-#12 are the ones to grab) where it's revealed that the lead has family ties to some thinly disguised versions of the New Gods.
It's not exactly the epic wrap up the series deserved but it does provide a touch of Kirby greatness, and if you're a fan the issues are well worth getting
Quote from: AlexF on 25 March, 2024, 11:53:04 AMSee, this is a series (which I've only read very small bits of) that is my main evidence for the fact that Stan Lee defintely DID bring something to the table in his early Marvel days. I just find Kirby's dialogue a chore to read, it gets in the way of some fantastically weird and colourful ideas, and that puts me off trying to read the whole Fourth World thing. But there's no denying the staggering heights of his imagiantion, both in terms of plots and character but of course his art, too.
I can agree that the New Gods is better comics than e.g. Fantastic Four or Thor, but I'd reach for those books more quickly for a fun time.

My favorite Top 10 is the spin-off, Smax. I'm not sure if it would work as a standalone, though - only because I was introduced to the characters and their relationship through reading Top 10. (After Moore leaves, so does the joy.)
Quote from: IndigoPrime on 24 March, 2024, 02:57:22 PMUsagi is top five for me at worst. Possibly number one. The sole bad thing about it is the publisher leaps, which means we haven't had an omni HC since it went to IDW. (It's now back at DH, and Sakai has at least hinted at more chunky HC collections. Although I hope they match the form factor of my existing ones, along with doing another print run of those editions that's not signed/limited, so everyone can own them. Because they're bloody lovely.)
Quote from: Le Fink on 24 March, 2024, 10:43:53 AMAgree with Top 10, superb. Also have time for a lot of other Moore - Swamp Thing, Miracleman, V for Vendetta, Halo Jones, LOEG, Superman all get a reread now and then. Haven't looked at Tom Strong, Lost Girls, Promethea, Neonomicon or Providence. Or his prose works.
