Comic Book Blog browsing on a Friday night
Since Thanksgiving, Collected Edition news and reviews have been pretty slim around the blogosphere, so I decided to get off my duff and really scour the web to find everything and anything I may have missed in the past few weeks.
What I found was a mountain of great links:
- Starting off, Douglas Wolk, The Savage Critics, received the mother load; DC’s graphic novel catalog for Summer 2008, Doug says that the list contains 150 items coming out between May and August. They include: Batman: The Resurrection of Ra’s Al Ghul (May), Jack Kirby’s O.M.A.C. (May): $25 hardcover, described as “a companion to the Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Omnibus” series, The Legion of Super-Heroes: 1,050 Years of the Future (May): a retrospective anthology commemorating 50 years since Adventure Comics #247, Absolute Sandman Vol. 3 (May), Vertigo: First Cut (May) that collects the first issues of Army@Love, Crossing Midnight, DMZ, The Exterminators, Jack of Fables, Loveless and Scalped for only $5, Demo (June) The Brian Wood/Becky Cloonan miniseries, All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder vol. 1 (June), Y: The Last Man Vol. 10: Whys and Wherefores (June), The New York Four (June) Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly’s Minx book, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier: The Absolute Edition (June) $99, World of Warcraft vol. 1 (July), Janes in Love (July): The sequel to The Plain Janes. All-Star Superman Vol. 2 (August), The Spirit Archives Vol. 25 (August) word has it there will be a 26th Volume too, that will have all the remaining work Eisner did with Denny Colt, America’s Best Comics Sampler (August), Booster Gold: 52 Pick-Up, Superman: Escape from Bizarro World, The Crime Bible: The Five Lessons of Blood, Green Lantern: The Sinestro Corps War vol. 2, Green Lantern: Tales of the Sinestro Corps, Justice League of America: The Injustice League, Superman: Last Son, The Flash: The Wild Wests, Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes, Astro City: The Dark Ages vol. 1, The Brave and the Bold: The Book of Destiny, The Death of the New Gods and Metal Men. Also listed are several Showcase Volumes, that we here at the CCL already knew about, and can be found on the Release Schedule. I’ll post the full list when I get my hands on it. For now, though, it’s going to be a great summer!
- We knew this one was coming out too, but here is the official PR for Voltron: Defender Of The Universe HC from Devil’s Due. The long-awaited 12th issue of the series printed here for the first time! Collects every issue of both volumes of the spectacular series into one incredible volume. Including covers, sketchbooks, character designs, and features the first and only reprinting of Mark Waid’s “Origin of Zarkon” backup stories! Expected in January 2008; 304 pages, $49.99
- Both ICv2 and The Beat blog about Dark Tower The Gunslinger Born, Heroes Volume 1, The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier, Mad’s Greatest Artists: The Completely Mad Don Martin, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 and their places on the BookScan List

- Joe over at FPI, blogs about the Todd Klien/Alan Moore Alphabet of Desire. It sounds very interesting, but it’s not really up my alley.
