CCL Podcast #173 - Diamond mining with Brian Kelly, Detroit Comics
Collected Comics Library Podcast #173
57,760Kb; 61m 20s

This week marks a special week in the world of comic books and podcasting, along with several other shows, the CCL is covering Diamond Distribution and the Direct Market. All of the participating podcasts are focusing on this one very important and often understood (or misrepresented) company and system. For my part, I went on location to Detroit Comics and sat down with owner Brian Kelly to talk about what it takes to open a new comic book store including the good and bad and his relationship with Diamond. I want to thank Brian for being so candid in his assessment. I found it to be insightful, straight forward and honest. To find a listing of all the other shows and their exact take, please visit our unofficial host, Comics Related.
Also in this week’s installment, I give a quick rundown of some books scheduled to be coming out in August and throughout the 4th Quarter and even some DC Comics Collected Editions for 2009 which includes a Deluxe Hardcover of Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing.
Lastly, I want to congratulate Jeffery Grill of Miami, FL who won the Annihilation Conquest Book 1 giveaway contest. My oversight is his advantage. All this and the New Releases of the Week.

Here is all the collected edition news that I could dig up from the New York Comic Con (courtesy of Newsarama and Comic Book Resources). If you know of any more, please send me the story with a source. And you can discuss all this on the Forum.
- DC Comics
- Absolute Sandman Vol. 4 in November
- James Jean’s covers for Fables will be collected in a coffee table book titled The Fables Cover Book.
- Hardcover editions of Paul Pope’s Heavy Liquid and Y: the Last Man. The Y editions will collect two softcover books into a single, oversize volume
- Possible Absolute Preacher
- Marvel Comics
- Brian Hitch explained that 1987 at 16 years old, the first job he got was on a GI Joe title–”Why I got hired I have no idea. I assume they were drunk. That went into some Transformers stuff and then Death’s Head. Then I took over She-Hulk after John Byrne quit.” “That was the highlight, right?” Barber joked. “I think it’s available in trade paperback.” Hitch joked, “I encourage everyone to buy one and burn it.” - I found that funny (Chris)
- Dark Horse Comics
- In second volume of the Hellboy Library edition, Mignola said that he wrote a text piece about not setting out to be a writer. In high school, he wrote a piece that was read aloud, which embarrassed him into not writing for a long time, “until John Byrne told me I was ready write Hellboy myself.”
- Completing 2008’s round of major Hellboy releases is May’s Hellboy: The Companion, an exhaustively researched timeline and encyclopedic handbook to the characters and world of Hellboy, featuring new material by Mignola.
- First project announced was “The Great Outdoor Fight,” by Chris Onstad, which, similar to “Perry Bible Fellowship,” is a collection of an online comic. Also Wondermark by David Malkie, Nothing Nice to Say, and the first six months of Dark Horse MySpace Presents.
- Allie said the “Umbrella Academy” collection, including the FCBD comic and DHP strip, will ship in July. There will be extensive behind-the-scenes extras with the artists. An oversized hardcover will follow this fall, “similar to the ‘Hellboy Library Editions.’”
- Image Comics
- Brandon Graham is writing the intro to the ‘Loaded Bible’ [Tim Seeley’s series for Image comics] trade.
- Top Cow
- A hardcover edition of Freshman (first series) is coming, Philip Sablik announced, which launched Seth Green into a litany of reasons why people needed to buy it and get it on their bookshelves next to their other hardcovers.
- Matt Hawkins said that Top Cow will be collecting “nearly all” of his original Lady Pendragon series, except for the final six issues, which he was unhappy with, and has essentially removed them from the larger story.
- BOOM! Studios
- The biggest news for comic fans attending the panel was that BOOM! just landed a licensing deal that will allow them to publish a new Farscape comic book series based on the television show. The comic will be released as a series of four-issue mini-series, with each four issues collected into trade upon completion. No creators have been announced yet, but BOOM! is hoping to have a series started by the end of this year.
- When asked about more Hero Squared, Waid said: “I have three plots in from J. Marc DeMatteis.” He said the series will be called Hero Squared: Love and Death. “Joe Abraham is going to start drawing it Monday,” he said. Mosher said the series will be six issues and will be collected in a trade paperback. Volume 2 of Hero Squared is in solicitations this month. “After we finish wrapping it up, there will be three trades plus Planetary Brigade,” he said.
- Devil’s Due Publishing
- The Drafted Vol. 1 is a trade paperback that collects the series’ first story arc, where aliens arrive on Earth, Jerusalem is destroyed and the human race is urged to initiate a draft to have enough troops to fight an intergalactic war.
- “We’re doing a 99 cent special [for the new series “RESTED”] so it’s cheap. I want you to order ten copies each. Then we’re doing a four issue miniseries that we’re collecting into a trade paperback.”
- Valiant
- A whole lot on Harbringer and X-O Manowar: Birth
- Both The Grackle and Armed & Dangerous are getting recolored for a possible collected edition

Comic Book Blog browsing on a Thursday morning
When you live in Michigan you rarely see the clear sky in the winter time. Fortunately, last night the weather gods were all drunk and happy and let the good folks who live in this freezing cold and unemployed state see the magnificent Lunar Eclipse unscathed. The moon started to fade out at 8:30 est and by 10:40 it had the brilliant reddish hue that we were all hoping for. Not only that but you could see Saturn and the star Regulus as clear as day. Also going on at this time was the shooting down of a military spy satellite. Coincidence? Let the conspiracies begin! On with today’s links:
- ICv2.com has published the Top 100 Graphic Novels Actual–January 2008. I’m not sure when John Mayo and I are set to record next. I’ll keep you posted. As for the Top Books, it’s always good to see diversity: Star Wars, Conan, X-Men and Pride of Baghdad.
- Related to the bullet point above, everyone is talking about Brian Hibbs and the Bookscan article. I’m sure John and I will discuss this, too.
- Marc Tyler Nobleman has started a blog. At it you can get a sneak peek of Boys of Steel the first picture book biography of Superman’s creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
- Tom Spurgeon has a wonderful interview with Douglas Wolk (Reading Comics). For those of you who don’t know, Wolk contributes to The Savage Critics Blog, one of my must reads everyday.
- Get ready for possible new editions of Akira - it’s been optioned by Warner Bros. Leonardo DiCaprio is even attached to it. Also, we may just be getting that deluxe edition of The Boys after all. It’s been optioned, too.
