Some of you may want to visit your local comic shop this Wednesday and pick this up. The full book is already released, and this comic probably won't have anything in it that the book doesn't, but still, it's free. And if you don't have the book and want a preview, here's your chance!

Having read the whole thing it's a very enjoyable way to spend an hour or so. Scioli basically takes The King's word from various interviews as gospel so theres some slightly dubious stuff in it, but overall quite good and fun to read.

Not an actual Kirby, but a sketch to honor Kirby by artist Phil Hester. On his social media account, he took bids for character of your choice, winner of a poll (4 choices) and a character he hadn't drawn in his xxKirbys run.

Long story short, Sky Masters of the Space Force won the character he hadn't drawn part of the competition, and I was lucky enough to have the winning bid. All the sales went to benefit Hero Initiative, the Jack Kirby Museum and HACAP (Hawkeye Area Community Action Program for Iowa derecho relief). 

I don't have the actual piece in hand quite yet, but here's an image of the final product:
