Comic Book Blog browsing on a Saturday morning



I’m off to the beach for a few days, but before I go I wanted to give you some updates:

  • Some cool news came down from DC this week. Finally we’ll be getting the long awaited League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier on November 14. And if you haven’t heard already, this book will not be published outside of the USA by America’s Best Comics. At least not until the publishers realize what a blunder this will be and realize this is actually a very good way to make money and then they’ll release a second edition worldwide.
  • All the Checklists (that can be found on the Release Schedule Page) have all been updated and I switched formats to Excel files. This means that you can download and customize them anyway you want.
  • Speaking of the Release Schedule, everything has been updated through last Thursday’s Dark Horse of November solicitations; including the DVDs.
  • Look for The Flash Companion from TwoMorrows Publishing in the summer of 2008. Contents include: An Interview of Cary Bates by Comicbloc’s own Heatwave the Rogue, A feature on Sheldon Mayer by Jim Beard, Rogue Profiles by THE Flash historian, Kelson Vibber
  • Eddie Campbell has a real nice review of Meanwhile…: A Biography of Milton Caniff, Creator of Terry and the Pirates and Steve Canyon by RC Harvey HC. For only $35 you get 800 pages and a hardcover, can’t beat that.
  • More on :01 First Second’s Total THB. It will run over 1,200 pages and will be published in a deluxe, oversize B&W edition as well as in regular color edition, will include the final chapter in the epic coming-of-age saga. Look for it in 2008.
  • Allan Holtz, Strpper’s Guide, (a site I never knew existed) reviews, Nick Cardy - Comic Strips and Chester Gould - A Daughter’s Biography
  • Lastly, I recorded my regular conversation with John Mayo on the Collected Editions statistics for books released in June 2008. Look for it on John’s website, Comic Book Page. I’ll release it on my feed, when I get back into town.
