Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of Jack Kirby's best stories, and one of the best visual novels in comics
I think "Madbomb" is one of Kirby's best stories. It is well paced, has a strong thematic underpinning, and some very interesting dialogue between Cap and the Falcon about race relations and growing up in a ghetto. The dialogue in not at all realistic, and tends to hover on an operatic level, which I understand is off putting for some readers. The characters tend to talk in grand terms, because Kirby is presenting a story that takes place on a large stage with grand themes

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - KLASSIC KIRBY KREATION!!!
....1975..ahhhh nostalgia....

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fine 70's Kirby Stories
Jack Kirby's 70s Marvel work is very much under-rated, and largely unknown by a whole generation of readers. This is a shame, because in this collection is some fine story-telling unique to Kirby. Kirby mixes his own unique blend of action with some very sharp story-telling. If you haven't seen this material, you owe it to yourself to give it a look.
