Walter Simonson, of course, is a master at blending genres, most notably seen in his run on The Mighty Thor, mixing mythological elements and sci-fi spectacle. His keen linework and innate sense of page composition is why he’s not just a comics mainstay, but a legend in the industry. Marrying his art with Rob Williams’ tight, dynamic scripting, The Kamandi Challenge #11 brings a deft, fitting tribute to All Things Kirby that’s is breakneck-paced and brimming with pathos.

The Kamandi Challenge #11, with art by Walter Simonson and written by Rob Williams, goes on sale Wednesday, November 22, from DC Comics.
