Only one thing to talk about this week - San Diego! Today is the Con Collected Edition news wrap up.

I also go over a few books that have errors: Showcase Presents Haunted Tank Volume 2 (DC Comics) and Weird Science Archives Volume 3 (EC/Gemstone).

Finally, go pick up the hottest selling book, and one of the biggest surprises at the Con the Tori Amos inspired Comic Book Tattoo (Image)!

Day 4 - Sunday at SDCC 2008 - Collected Edition News

It’s Sunday and the final day of the Con. Lots of great news has come out this past weekend and I’ll be going over all of this and more in my next podcast which will be out Wednesday. More news as it happens. On with today’s news from The Con:

Day 3 - Saturday at SDCC 2008 - Collected Edition News

It’s Midnight as I type these words. Patty and I just got home from The Police and Elvis Costello concert. What a great show. Could be my most favorite ever, which is saying a lot!!!

On with today’s news from The Con:

2008 Eisner Awards: What Did Win

A few weeks back, April 17 to be exact, I blogged about the Eisner Award Nominees. In it I picked What Should Win and What Will Win for the Categories related to Collected Editions, Reprints and a few others that I found most interesting. Today, I republish that posting with What DID Win.

You can see the full list of Winners at the Official Eisner Awards Website.

Best Anthology

What should win: Postcards: True Stories That Never Happened. A wonderful representation of what happens when creative minds peak.

What will win: Best American Comics 2007. Everyone loves Chris Ware.

What did win: 5. Sorry, I still have never heard of it. But I check it out now.

Best Graphic Album-New

What should win: The Arrival. Monsters in NYC with no words. How cool is that?

What will win: Exit Wounds. Going strictly by Dick Hyacinth’s Top 10 list of 2007

What did win: Exit Wounds. Nailed it! Thanks Dick Hyacinth!!!

Best Graphic Album-Reprint

What should win: Agents of Atlas. A great revival story is collected with all the online pieces. Also includes the original #1’s of each character - all for $25. this was the CCL’s Book of the Year.

What will win: Mouse Guard: Fall 1152. Peterson is Hot Hot Hot and this is a great story. The RPG rights just sold this week, the film rights can’t be far behind.

What did win: Mouse Guard: Fall 1152. Nailed it! Chalk one up for Michigan’s own Petersen!!!

Best Archival Collection/Project-Comic Strips

What should win: Complete Terry and the Pirates. Although this has been previouly released, we now have the HD version in 2008.

What will win: Sundays with Walt and Skeezix. Walt and his old pal got passed on last year by Peanuts. This is their year.

What did win: Complete Terry and the Pirates. Good for Terry.

Best Archival Collection/Project-Comic Books

What should win: The Completely MAD Don Martin. But did anyone actually read it outside of the free “look at” copy at Borders?

What will win: I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets! Classic Golden Age icon Fletcher Hanks will get recognized. Just what this category is.

What did win: I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets!. Nailed it! Go out now and buy this book.

Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism

What should win: The Comics Reporter. Everything, I mean everything, is done in digital these days, including making comics. Publishing comics on the other hand is done on paper and sadly this site (and others) will get passed over this year. It’s a real shame since everyone in the industry reads Tom’s blog on a daily basis.

What will win: The Comics Journal. It was passed up last year.

What did win: Newsarama. Shortly after the nomination, Newsarama revamped their site and they added RSS. It may of helped them get the Award.

Best Comics-Related Book

What should win: Meanwhile . . . A Biography of Milton Caniff. Since Terry and the Pirates won’t win, neither can this excellent book.

What will win: Reading Comics: How Graphic Novels Work and What They Mean. A book that tells us how to read. I’ll never quite figure this one out.

What did win: Reading Comics: How Graphic Novels Work and What They Mean. Too bad for Terry.

Best Publication Design

What should win: (The Complete) Dream of the Rarebit Fiend. Winsor McCay’s title made sence 100 years ago - and so did the strip itself.

What will win: Heroes, vol. 1. But not the Jim Lee cover, give me the Alex Ross one, please.

What did win: Process Recess 2. Another book I’ll have to pick up now.

Day 2 - Friday at SDCC 2008 - Collected Edition News

It’s good to see that so many people are having a good time at the Con. The crowds are large, but that is to be expected.

It’s also good to see so many cool announcements and news items. Let’s hope it continues all weekend long. Look for The Eisner Award Winners - Collected Editions - in a separate post Saturday.

On with today’s news from The Con:

Day 1 - Thursday at SDCC 2008 - Collected Edition News

So yesterday’s news wasn’t exactly from “Day 1″. Wednesday is more like Day 0 or you can even call it Preview Night, if you wish.

The news is starting to come in at this late hour in the East. I was worried earlier today that there would be no news at all. Silly me, eh? It’s San Diego for goodness sake!


On with today’s news from The Con:

Day 0 - Wednesday at SDCC 2008 - Collected Edition News

Every day I’ll be putting up all the Collected Edition news that I come across from Comic Con International 2008 from San Diego. I’ll be adding news as it happens, so be sure to check back often and add this feed into your favorite RSS Reader and also follow me on Twitter. If you come across any news that you don’t see here you can e-mail me or add it in the comments. You can also come by The CCL Forum and join in all the discussion.

The next Podcast, CCL #181, will focus on this topic and more including the The Third Annual Comics Podcasting Panel that is going on Thursday at 5:00-6:00 in Room Room 32AB. It will feature all of my friends including Bryan Deemer and Peter Rios (Comic Geek Speak), Charlito and Mr. Phil (Indie Spinner Rack), Joe Gonzalez and Jimmy Aquino (Comic News Insider), Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick (iFanboy), and John Mayo and Bob Bretall (Comic Book Page). Room 32AB.

Collected Edition news from NYCC

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.

CCL Podcast #132 - San Diego Collected Edition News Wrap Up



Collected Comics Library Podcast #132
29,246Kb; 30m 55s

Today’s show is all news all the time. San Diego news, of course, because this past week, that’s all there is. And lots of good news, too. Sure there is the usual “huh”? like the Complete Youngblood, but some cool tidbits like the old Marvel run of Indiana Jones. All the links can be found in the (July 26th) post below.
This past Monday was also the Detroit Podcasts Monthly Meet-Up. We had it in Ferndale and while there, I strolled down to a new comic store - Detroit Comics. I think it’ll be my LCS. I also go over the Podcast Awards and I have a new Question of the Month. Lastly I go over a very light Release Schedule.

First up I want to thank everyone who nominated me for a Podcast Award. I’ll have more news on that on this Blog later in the week. I also hoped all of you had a chance to download and listen to the latest CCL Comic Book Page May 2007 Stats Podcast. Comments are always welcome!
On today’s show I go over a small bit of news from Image, Dynamic Forces and the CrossGen/Checker Book Collected Edition Reprint Team-Up. It’s nice to see those finally getting published.
The CCL interior website has two new Checklists for you to download: The EC Archives and The Dark Horse Archives. I also hope to have all the individual pages for the DC Archives, Marvel Masterworks, Showcases, Essentials and everything else all updated by the end of the week And don’t forget to check out the Release Schedule; it’s all updated with the latest solicitations from DC, Marvel, Dark Horse and others.
For the feature today, I cover Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Epic, but not in the usual way. I do go over the Omnibus editions a bit, but really it’s a rundown of the monthly and collected edition publication history for all the Fourth World related titles from 1971-2005!
Time to enter the Boom Tube! Hop on in!
