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:

  • DC Comics is adding the Milestone Universe (from the 1990′s) into the mainstream DCU. Static will be joining Teen Titans. Now that is cool. To commemorate the event, DC will be collecting the old Milestone material, and reissuing that in trade paperback form over the course of next year.
  • The Star Wars Vector crossover storyline will be collected into it’s own Trade Paperback at the end of the year.
  • Dark Horse news: The long awaited 20 Years of Dark Horse will be retitled to 25 Years of Dark Horse and be released in 2011. and Serenity: Better Days is being collected, and early next year.
    Also, in manga news, Dark Horse announced that next summer the company will create a series of 80-page manga that will be simultaneously released in Japan and the United States by the group of creators called Clamp. Dark Horse will also be releasing an Omnibus collecting all the Clover stories next year.
  • DC has acquired the rights to many of the 1940′s Archie heroes including The Shield, The Web, The Comet, The Fly, The Jaguar, and The Black Hood. Let’s hope they got the reprint rights, too.
  • IDW and Chris Ryall announced collections of Violent Messiahs, The Dreamer, and Thom Zahler’s Love and Capes. They are slated to be released from late 2008 to early 2009. Also, a collection of the ’80s strip Torpedo is slated for 2009. Originally written in Spanish and translated to English for American audiences, Jimmy Palmiotti will be “translating the translation.”
  • In Top Cow news, William Harms’ Impaler, previously published via Image Central will be finished and collected by Top Cow, and a new series will start afterwards.
    Also, Madame Mirage will come back next year in a new series, Paul Dini announced. The collection of the first storyline hits in September, though the publisher has copies available at the show. The was no date given for the debut of volume 2.
  • DC Comics is bringing back The Warlord. I smell a collected edition.
