Since their inception in the pages of Fantastic Four, Black Bolt, Medusa, Crystal and the rest of The Inhumans have garnered a special place in the hearts of Marvel Fan-Boys. Today we celebrate the recent release of their first Marvel Masterwork (and their second coming out next year) and we take a look at all of their Collected Editions. We also look at what isn’t collected, particularly the 1988 Inhumans Graphic Novel by Ann Nocenti.

Also on the show, the CE world is being turned upside down by the news from Neal Adams that his 1978 Superman vs. Muhammad Ali will be getting the Deluxe Edition treatment with new coloring and the Green Lantern/Green Arrow: Hard Traveling Heroes storyline may be getting an Absolute edition. On the Marvel side – David Gabriel, Marvel’s Senior VP of Sales, has hinted to Heidi MacDonald that, Later on in the year, we’re going to do an omnibus with full runs from things like Night Nurse, Hellcat, and some other things you really wouldn’t collect anywhere else. Not sure what to make of that, we’ll have to wait and see. I wonder if Tigra or Shanna the She-Devil will be a part of the book.

All this and the New Releases of the Week.

As October comes to a close it’s time to start thinking about what your Top 10 Collected Editions and Graphic Novels for 2009 will be. I have some in mind and will be revealing the entire list the last week of December. My list not only looks at the story, but also price, extras and availability of original material. Looking back on it now I don’t think 2009 has been as exciting as 2008 was, but it’s all relative. There’s been a lot more interesting GN’s then CE’s this year, perhaps that is where we are heading in the future. Let’s look at some linkity links:

  • It seems that at least two websites (Bleeding Cool and The Daily Cartoonist) are excited about Asterix (which is something that I have never read).
  • ICv2.com has the estimates of the sales on Graphic Novels and Collected Editions by Diamond U.S. to comic specialty stores during September 2009.
  • Press Release: TekWar by William Shatner Released As Graphic Novel
  • Richard, FPI Blog, has a quick look at the new James Bond Omnibus Volume 001.
  • Better late then never, Joe, FPI Blog, also has a nice article and audio of Mark Millar at the Edinburgh Book Festival.
  • Review: Joe, FPI Blog on Cash: I See a Darkness. I received a copy of this book, too and I’ll be reviewing it in the next few weeks.
  • Review: My good friend, Scott Cederlund, Pop Syndicate on Bloom County The Complete Library Volume One: 1980-1982

It’s that spooky time of year, especially if you live in Detroit! Come on in and grab a scary book!

Tonight, we go back to the scariest of all decades – the 1970’s. That’s when Frank Frazetta painted his famous masterpiece – The Death Dealer. Tonight I give you give you a history lesson, of sorts, on the publication history of this ominous character including the recent Deluxe Hardcover from Image Comics, four paperback novels, and even a mid-1990 comic book series from Glenn Danzig! Spooky indeed!

So turn down the lights and curl up with a good podcast!

Boo!

Diamond’s Spring 2010 Book Catalog

October 19, 2009
By

Here’s something that bound to get you to stop working and completely waste your time.
Last night I was e-mailed a link of Diamond’s Spring Book Catalog .pdf (Products with Release Date from January – April 2010).

I’m not sure how long the link will work (forever, perhaps). Also please note that, for whatever reason, DC Comics, Fantagraphics, Boom! Studios, Drawn and Quarterly and few others are not listed.
