And now a rambling and too brief review of Jack Kirby's "The Fourth World", in which he jumped to DC to create such classic characters like Orion, Mister Miracle and Darkseid.  Artistically, it is some of Kirby's best work but it also kind of showed he really needed Stan Lee's writing to have it make sense.

And now a rambling and too brief review of "Xenozoic" by Mark Schultz, the now classic post-apocalyptic series that finds humans living amongst dinosaurs again while rebuilding the wreckage of the past.
