Queens Comic Podcast – Episode Ten – The Jack Kirby Episode!
Ian and Billy are reunited in the latest episode where we run down how much fun the last Brooklyn Invasion Queens Comic Party show was before then doing a deep dive on the Twomorrows hardcover collection of Jack Kirby’s Dingbat Love before then going over Kirby’s career and what makes his work on titles like Captain America, The Fantastic Four, The New Gods and others so important. Plus, we argue about if OMAC sucks or not and if Billy should become a ‘ska guy,’ while Ian gives an old man rant about movie theaters. But before it’s all over, we bring it back to the importance of Kirby’s work and of the legacy he has left us all. Follow us on Instagram @queenscomicpodcast
