Comic Book Blog browsing on a Wednesday morning

While I was getting the kids ready for school this today, the power went out neighborhood wide. Thank God I have a backup generator installed at the back of my home. My house is nice and warm and lit up like a firecracker.

I’ll have a new Podcast up later today. Now on with some links:

• You’ll need a big glass of Gatorade for this one, because it has to be the most dry, boring article on hardcovers and collected editions ever. Those of you who read my Blog and listen to the Podcast will know where I’m coming from. If you want your news on trades you come here or to other comic news sites — not The New York Times. Sure, the writer, Joseph V. Tirella, is doing his best to scrape together bits and pieces of information, that we elitists know all about. But all the article does is portray that hardcore collected edition comic book collecting is really expensive. What, no mention of a DCBS discount? Read at your own risk.
• Better Late Then Never: I first read that Scorchy Smith was being collected back in October. 30 days later, the buzz is finally picking up.
• Better Late Then Never II: The same goes for the Indiana Jones Omnibus from Dark Horse. First announced at the SDCC last July, then it was solicited last September and now in December we get a Press Release. Damn, what a chronology that is.
• F&W Publications has announced that it will cease publication of the trade magazine Comics & Games Retailer with the February 2008 issue. I never read one issue. Too bad for me, I like Brian Hibbs.
• A bit of news on more Serenity including the Those Left Behind Hardcover and lunch boxes!
• Review: Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter, on Essential Captain America Volume One. Looks like you can’t keep a good superhero dead after all.
• Review: Gavin Ford, Star Gazette (Entertainment) on the Marvel Premier Classic Hardcover X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills. I was planning on reviewing this myself for today’s Podcast, but with the advent of the Heroes finale, I’m going to go over that Hardcover instead. I’ll get to the X-Men book in a few weeks.
