FIRST LOOK: JACK KIRBY'S FOURTH WORLD OMNIBUS VOL. 1
Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus Vol. 1 will arrive in stores on May 30 from DC Comics. The issue is written by Jack Kirby, with art and cover by Kirby and Vince Colletta and an introduction by Grant Morrison.
Here's how DC describes the issue:
"After co-creating a number of legendary comic book heroes -- including The Fantastic Four and The Hulk -- legendary writer/artist Jack Kirby came to DC Comics in 1970 to create his magnum opus: four interlocked adventure series that were known collectively as The Fourth World.
"Now, for the first time, DC collects Kirby's four series -- The New Gods, The Forever People, Mister Miracle and Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen -- in chronological order as they originally appeared. These comics spanned galaxies, from the streets of Metropolis to the far-flung worlds of New Genesis and Apokolips, as cosmic-powered heroes and villains struggled for supremacy.
"The Fourth World Vol. 1 features the debuts of Orion of the New Gods, the evil Darkseid, super-escape artist Mister Miracle and many others, and features numerous appearances by Superman, from the pages of Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #133-139, Forever People #1-3, New Gods #1-3 and Mister Miracle#1-3!"

Here's how DC describes the book:
"Multiple Eisner Award winner David Lapham brings his unique brand of stark crime noir and dark, gritty realism to Silverfish, an original hardcover graphic novel replete with betrayal, double lives and family annihilators that will plunge itself into your gut and keep twisting until its bloody conclusion.
"What starts as a childish prank for her father's affection turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse for 16-year-old Mia when she discovers her beautiful new stepmom Suzanne's secret possessions: an address book, a stash of money and a knife caked in blood.
""Mia makes the fateful mistake of phoning Daniel, a murderer from Melanie's past, who believes he's possessed by a demonic silverfish. And at midnight, on the boardwalk of a sleepy seaside town, Mia's survival will depend not only on whether Suzanne is good or evil, but whether Mia can find out which before Daniel reaches them..."
