In honor of the 100th birthday of Jack "The King" Kirby, some of today's greatest comics creators are throwing down a one-of-a-kind challenge to one another to create the most breathtaking, mind-blowing story the world has ever known. This is The Kamandi Challenge!
Kamandi, Jack Kirby's beloved post-apocalyptic Last Boy on Earth, fights for his survival and the fate of all humankind in a world overrun by intelligent tigers, giant robot leopards, edible plant people and even more wonders.
But this is no ordinary comics story. Each all-star creative team leaves Kamandi in a death-defying cliffhanger, and it's up to the next storytellers to pick up the gauntlet and figure out how Kamandi will survive! The result is a wild comics ride that's worthy of the King himself!
Take up the challenge and see how a combination of comics legends and today's best creators—including Tom King (Batman), Neal Adams (Green Lantern/Green Arrow), James Tynion IV (Detective Comics), Bill Willingham (Fables), Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti (Harley Quinn), Ivan Reis (Justice League), Walter Simonson (Orion) and more—set out the ultimate challenge for their fellow creators!
