Had to go with the New Gods/Fourth World, but that's kinda stacking the deck because you're talking about Darkseid, Orion, Mister Miracle, and dozens of other memorable characters. Nearly went with Dr. Doom.

Where the f*** is Devil Dinosaur and OMAC!?

[MykeHavoc]

New Gods. Its an entirely realized universe in of itself, so it tends to outweigh a lot of the other options. And its pure Kirby, written and drawn, so you know the vision is pure. I think its his greatest contribution to the medium and will go down in the books as such.

[havok]

The Uncanny X-men.

[Pinsir]

A lot of Kirby's earlier work (his Marvel period) just isn't as good as his later work.

[Michael P]

A lot of Kirby's earlier work (his Marvel period)

That would be roughly the middle of his career, after he'd helped define one genre of comics and co-created another.

[ExcelsiorPrime]

Black Panther.

To debut a minority character and have him collectively kick the butts of the Fantastic Four...then turn around and make him a KING from an advanced technological society, with a scarce material--Vibranium. so Bold!

I mean in 50 years...no character has been given so much from inception. Sure we have alternate earth Superman, Alternate earth Spiderman...but to create a character like T'challa from jump--and in essence say to readers here is this new character..this is what he can do...DEAL WITH IT!

Kirby was a one man Affirmative Action Office.

Kirby will always be King to me!

Not on the list, but I would vote for Celestials - not because they are specifically the best as actual characters, just because I kind of view them as the epitomy of distilled Kirby-ness in concept and visual design - and are just really awesome looking things.

I'm probably the only person who left my showing of Guardians of the Galaxy with "Oh my God - they actually cameoed a living Celestial!" (not to mention Knowhere) as one of their highlights of the film.

A lot of Kirby's earlier work (his Marvel period) just isn't as good as his later work.

That is where he started to refine his process of creation; those stories he created was the driving force of Marvel.

[Professor Moriarty]

Challengers Of The Unknown.

[Kirby101]

Where the f*** is Devil Dinosaur and OMAC!?

They are pure Kirbyesque joy.

[Rey Leopard]

Black Panther!

[WestPhillyPunisher]

Gotta go with the Silver Surfer!
