You may have noticed in the latest Previews (or on Marvel.com) that Marvel redesigning their Essential covers starting with X-Men Volume 1 (Claremont/Cockrum). This is the third time for The X-Men. Take a look at all three:
If Marvel adds this design to the Essential Silver Surfer Volume 1, it will be his fourth. Take a look at his:
No word on if any extra material will be added as bonuses to the X-Men book. I’d like to see each entry from the original Marvel Handbooks. Marvel has included these entries before, as they did in the Essential Punisher Vol. 1.

CCL Podcast #155 - Adopt a Character for 2008
Collected Comics Library Podcast #155

As I did last year at this time, it’s time once again for Adopt a Character. Like I say in the show, I did terrible job in 2007 with Thor. I hope to fair better in 2008 with Luke Cage, with a little help from his friend Iron Fist. I go over both characters, but only very briefly, touching upon only the main series that they starred in. I don’t go in-depth into their history or background. That’s because there is no real reason to. Half the fun of adopting a character of your own is delving into the history and current state of the character in his or her respective universe (whatever that may be) of today. I recommend picking a character that you know little or next to nothing about but have always been a bit curious to know more. I explain it more in the show and then you can go to the Forum and play along throughout the year, where we have a nice support group to keep you going. Lord only knows I need one.
Not much in the way of news, except a new Marvel Masterworks: Captain Marvel Volume 3 (Variant 95) which will collect Captain Marvel #22-33 and Iron Man #55 and is due out in April. Also mentioned is that Daredevil Omnibus by Brian Michael Bendis which I blogged about on Monday.
Al this and the New Releases of the Week.

CCL Podcast #122 - Star Wars Comics Celebration
Collected Comics Library Podcast #122

This past weekend was the Motor City Comic-Con and I was fortunate to attend. My son, Patrick, received a wonderful Batman sketch from Buzz and I was able to get my Sgt. Fury and (Silver Age) Human Torch Masterworks signed by Dick Ayers. I also picked up a few monthly comics to fill in the gaps in my Star Wars and Punisher collections. I was also able to purchase two Marvel Essential Handbooks for the price of one, but now I’m regretting it. These reference books should be in color and I explain why in the Podcast.
Both DC Comics and Marvel have announced their Fall solicitations and there are some very cool books on both lists.
The main topic of the show this week in honor of Star Wars Celebration IV in Los Angeles this weekend. In it I, with help from members of the forum, give recommendations on what to buy to start or add to your collections. My sincere thanks to everyone who wrote in. As usual, I go over the New Releases of the Week. and lastly I announce the winner of the Death of Superman Trade Paperback Giveaway.
