It’s been months since I did one of these posts. The lack of them is pretty much due to the fact that 2010 has been sporadic when it comes to Collected Edition news and I easily covered individual items in either their own blog posts, on the podcast or on Twitter and Facebook (which has been on fire as of late). This past week has been particularly chock full of items, so let’s get to them now:

A number of items has come from Rich Johnson’s Bleeding Cool. I don’t mind scraping things from Rich, as I consider him a friend and I’ve sent a few blurbs to him now and then.

  • Boom! Studios To Collect All Don Rosa Donald Duck Stories. Walt Disney Treasury: Donald Duck Volume 1 (June 2011), Volume 2 (August 2011); $14.99 Softcover. This has been a long time coming. Readers of this CCL blog may recall that Gemstone announced this project back in 2009, but we all know what happened there. Boom! also announced Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories Archives Volume 1 ($14.99, softcover). This will be a chronological series of reprints from Floyd Gottfredson and Al Taliaferro. Amazon.com lists the Reading level: Ages 4-8. There should be a Collectors level: 35-up. I hope we can get that Complete Carl Barks one of these days, too.
  • Fanatgraphics announced a number of books this week, the first being a hardcover reprint of Congress Of The Animals (Frank) by Jim Woodring ($19.99). Just looking at the images it reminds me of Porky Pig in Wackyland. Also due is Dave McKean’s Celluloid HC, $35.00. Ever since Cages was reprinted by Dark Horse a few months back, the McKean catalog has been in high demand. This book is not exactly for the kids as it is an female erotic tale. The last book mentioned this week is Barnaby by Crockett Johnson (April 2012), with art direction by Dan Clowes. Does the name sound familiar? That’s because Johnson created Harold and the Purple Crayon, one of the most beloved and read childrens books of all time. There’s even a newly restored DVD of the animated version. But that’s not all, Tom Spurgeon, Comics Reporter, tells us that this book will coincide with the release of Philip Nel’s biography of Johnson (The Purple Crayon And A Hole To Dig: The Lives Of Crockett Johnson And Ruth Krauss from the University Press Of Mississippi).
  • Speaking of Dan Clowes, Drawn & Quarterly has acquired the world rights to Daniel Clowes’ The Death-Ray and will release it as a hardcover graphic novel in Fall 2011. I’ve never read Death Ray but I do like his Ghost World and Wilson work, so this will be a nice chance to play catch up.
  • CBR has all you need to know about the new The Essential Superman Encyclopedia as Alex Dueben interviews Bob Greenberger and Marty Pasko. As much as I love these types of books, I hesitate to pick them up because the material gets dated fast. So much information is online and if you need anything specific it’s usually just a few clicks away.
  • Finally, Friday was the last day of Alex Segura at DC Comics. Alex has been the long time Publicity Manager and a stern one at that. Whatever he does and whereever he goes, I’m sure he’ll have success. My sincere thanks to his help over the years. You can follow him on Twitter @alex_segura

CCL Podcast #254 – Irredeemable TPB Vols. 1-2 (Boom! Studios)

It’s not often that a new series gets my attention, in fact, as a “Trade Waiter” it’s 99% never. I like to joke that because I hold out for the collected edition, I’m always preverbal guy at the party talking about last years summer blockbuster movies in December (Star Trek comes to mind – I just saw it on DVD).

But that’s not the case with Irredeemable by Mark Waid and Boom! Studios. For a year I’ve been told by friends and read on numerous message boards what a great new superhero (or anti-superhero) series this is. A few months ago I found myself at my LCS thumbing though an issue. It looked good, but my CE mentality took over and I decided to wait as usual. This past Saturday I was on vacation and my Brother-In-Law and I took our sons to the comic shop. I picked up both trades of Irredeemable and I’m so glad I did. This indeed is a great series and a breath of fresh air to the over used plots of dismantlement and reassembling of the JLA or Avengers or X-Men or whomever. As I say in the podcast, you can jump right in as the story moves very fast and Waid gets you up to speed. But story is not all we talk about; in fact I hardly touch on it. Each trade only collects four issues so there’s not too much to give away. But I do talk about the two books themselves and my guess as to what will make up the Hardcover as well as the extras included.

All this including the New Releases of the Week.
