King knows (like the rest of us) that nobody can ever replicate Jack Kirby unless it was in some alternate universe, but instead of trying to out-Kirby the master, he decided to compliment him and go along for the ride. You wouldn’t call it "stealing" so much as "honoring," but every issue begins and ends with a narration that is directly from an issue of Mister Miracle that Kirby wrote. "It works because it sort of steals from the magic of Kirby." "Jack Kirby is at the heart of this book," King admitted. not a last-minute decision he made to torture fans while laughing evilly to himself.īy the way, the whole thing is an homage to Jack Kirby.
This nebulous conclusion was actually his master plan.
He knows the answers that even Scott Free can't find. King wanted to convey this in his comic not only through the storyline but also via the ambivalent ending that doesn't exactly reveal what the two worlds teased earlier actually are.
