As promised last week, we get back to one of the classic podcast features: When Trades Collide! Today, we look at two books from Darwyn Cooke and see how they are related story wise – Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter HC (IDW) and Batman: Ego and Other Tails HC (DC Comics). If you liked The Hunter then you’ll want to pick up the Batman book because Cooke did a pseudo-prototype of the Parker, named Stark, in the Selina’s Big Score GN and in the short story Déjà Vu from Solo #5. I also take a look at the most recent movie version of The Hunter, Payback – Straight Up – The Director’s Cut DVD.

I also talk about the LitGraphic exhibition and Brian Fies presentation at the Toledo Museum of Art that I attended last Friday, the Titanium Rain HC by Josh Finney and Kat Rocha with Damian Smith (Archia) and thoughts on the DC Classics Library – Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil cancellation. Lastly, be sure to check out the TwoMorrows Publishing sale on all their Companion books.

All this and the New Releases of the Week.

Let’s clear up this Catwoman title screw-up once and for all. I decided to get to the heart of the matter by going straight to writer of Catwoman (and fellow contributor to the Around Comics Podcast), Will Pfeifer and this is what he says,
Chris, As far as I know, the “Catwoman’s Dead” title was a just a mix-up in the solicitation. “Catwoman Dies” was the original title of a story arc in that collection and was (I’m pretty sure) always supposed to be the title of the trade. Best, Will
Thank God that’s all settled. Enjoy your Monday.

For the podcast topic for show #163, I’m going to cover Wanted Volume 1 from Top Cow. There has been so much hype with the upcoming movie, I figured now is a good time. I still plan on doing the New Frontier show in the upcoming weeks in which I will go over both the Absolute and the Special Edition DVD. And I just got my hands on a copy of the new One-Shot Special. I want to make sure I integrated that book, too. On with today’s links:

John Mayo, Comic Book Resources and Comic Book Page Podcast has his new article about the Sales Estimates for January 2008. I should tell you that John and I did record last night on this very topic. It should be released sometime next week.

J. Caleb Mozzocco, Every Day Is Like Wednesday, wants an Invasion Trade Paperback. He can have one as long as I get a trade of all the crossover issues to Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Mark Evanier has posted an additions and corrections page for his Kirby: King of Comics book. He says it will be updated from time to time. I suggest printing it off and sticking it in you book for quick reference or get a pencil and add in the corrections yourself, it’s not like you’re going to sell it or give it away anytime soon.

Marvel by way the Marvel Masterworks site have announced Sgt. Fury Volume 2 (Variant Volume 97); collecting Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #14-23 and Annual #1 (June 18th) and Tales of Suspense Vol. 2 (Variant Volume 98); collecting Tales of Suspense #11-20 (June 25th).

Fantagraphics have posted some wonderful images of the Willie & Joe: The WWII Years Slipcase

Review: Collected Editions Blog on Catwoman: The Replacements TPB. Somewhat related to this I was at my LCS and did see the latest Catwoman trade and the title is indeed Catwoman Dies, not Catwomans Dead
