Upcoming Kirby - March 2005 Marvel

Three Kirby reprints from Marvel in March of 2005. This new MARVEL MILESTONE monthly book might prove interesting, especially if they don't stick with the usual suspect reprints (we needed another reprint of the first Captain America story? Hopefully it'll look nicer than the last reprint). The first Ant-Man will be nice, as I don't think it's seen a colour reprint in decades outside of a rather rare hardcover. I assume there'll be other stories in #1, as those three listed only come to 28 pages.

Another FF Masterworks is good to see. Should just be two more to complete Kirby's run (minus the cut together #108), as this has the last original material annual.

The Golden Age Cap hardcover is rescheduled from last month. Hopefully it'll look good, as I've heard very little good about Marvel's other recent hardcover of non-Kirby work from the era. For those who have the previous hardcover or softcover reprints, this will have a number of stories (mostly the non-Cap stuff) that haven't been reprinted before.
