Collected Edition Blog browsing on Wednesday afternoon

September 3, 2008

Just doing a bit up catch-up today. Probably the biggest non news story this week is that Marvel will be publishing softcover versions of their Masterworks. Has everyone in the collected edition world forgot that Marvel did this years ago exclusively through Barnes and Noble? They published twelve of them and they contained the same contents as the Hardcover “reMasterworks” ones. I said then and I’ll say it again, that Marvel should have been doing this all along! More on this in Thursday’s podcast #185. For now, as you can see not many other news items to go over.

  • The Detroit Free Press concludes their Annual Football Preview – Superheroes! The remaining player/hero profile is MSU-bound QB Andrew Maxwell as Superman.
  • Richard, FPI Blog continues his The Uncollecteds A-Z part 2 J through R
  • Dan Nadel, Comics Comics, reports that PictureBox is going to publish a collection of Ogden Whitney’s romance and sci-fi comics in late 2009 or early 2010. Co-edited by Frank Santoro, Bill Boichel and little ol’ me. We are scouring the earth for any and all Whitney material. We aim to solve a few mysteries with this one and should get down to work on it as soon as Mr. Santoro stops blogging for a minute and finished Cold Heat! Ha! Just kidding. Sort of. No, but seriously, Frank is very close to finishing and we will send the book to the printer in December in order to have the books in stores everywhere in April.
  • Top Cow Productions, Inc. announced it will publish the first, complete story arc of William Harms’ Impaler in a new trade paperback that will debut this October, and then will launch a new series for the property in December.
  • DC Comics presents a special, new edition of the WATCHMEN TP, featuring a brand-new cover by artist extraordinaire Dave Gibbons. Available for order now, the WATCHMEN INTERNATIONAL EDITION TP is created especially for the international market, and is also available to retailers in the U.S. and Canada exclusively through Diamond.
