\nWow. Bucketful of stuff to list here. Explain this to me. In all of 2003, Marvel published one, count ’em, one new book with substantial Kirby art. Now we get this. Not really complaining, better a flood than drought, but spread ’em out a bit, dudes.<\/p>\n
FANTASTIC FOUR OMNIBUS Vol. 1 HC
\nESSENTIAL FANTASTIC FOUR VOL. 4 TPB
\nMARVEL MASTERWORKS: CAPTAIN AMERICA VOL. 2
\nCAPTAIN AMERICA BY JACK KIRBY: BICENTENNIAL BATTLES TPB
\nMARVEL MILESTONES: DR. DOOM, SUB-MARINER & RED SKULL<\/p>\n
Five books in five very different formats. I’m most excited by the over-due release of ESSENTIAL FF v4, four years after v3. Some great Kirby\/Sinnott classics in there. BICENTENNIAL BATTLES is also good stuff, should look good even with the tabloid issue shrunk down. It’s nice to see a MILESTONES issue with all classic material this time, which should be a good sampler of the Golden Age Masterworks books for Cap and Subby. And then there’s that FF OMNIBUS book. Wow. Very tempting, moreso than the MAXIMUM FF book listed before (no word on the status of that one). I assume by oversize they mean the size of the VISIONARIES books.<\/p>\n
I’ve tossed in the listing for the FF MOVIE TPB, which just says it’ll include some classic FF stories in addition to the adaptation of the movie. Logically that would mean some Kirby (there are classic non-Kirby FF stories?), but you never know.<\/p>\n

FANTASTIC FOUR: THE MOVIE TPB
\nWritten by MIKE CAREY
\nPenciled by DAN JURGENS
\nPhoto Cover
\nThe comic adaptation of the blockbuster motion picture starring Ioan Gruffudd, Michael Chiklis, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Julian McMahon, this collection captures all the cinematic excitement of the new hit movie \u2013 plus a selection of the classic stories that inspired the film! Forty years ago, writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby created a team of adventurers like no other that had come before. Unlike previous groups of stone-jawed super heroes who got along perfectly in their pursuit of liberty and justice, the Fantastic Four bickered, argued and fought among themselves \u2014 just like a real family. Their continued adventures around the world, into outer space and throughout uncharted dimensions have pushed the limits of the Marvel Universe, consistently challenging readers\u2019 perceptions of what a comic book could be!
