It’s Christmas in July! Not only is it the week of San Diego Comic Con 2011, but we also have the Captain America movie and a huge announcement from DC Comics i.e. all 52 #1 issues in one giant (Absolute) hardcover.
This is actually the third time that I’ve covered Cap. The first was CCL #76 and the second was CCL #225. Today, I pick up from June 2009 and go over all the collected editions that have been published – and a few that are upcoming.
It’s a long compehensive list, but worth listening to if you havn’t been collecting Captain America in a while or are new to him altogether.
Lastly, I go over some pre Comic Con news on The Walking Dead, Interview With The Vampire, Flashpoint and Legion Of The Super-Heroes Volume 13. Plus I answer an e-mail from a listener who thinks I talk too much Marvel. I guess this is a bad day to counter that.

As another year winds down, holiday shopping reeves up. That means that publishing houses want to get their best stuff out just in time so it can be bought for that special someone. One of those books comes from Marvel, or more specifically their Icon creator owned line. I’m speaking of Criminal The Definitive Edition Volume 1 HC by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips (with colors by Val Staples). Brubaker has become a favorite of mine in recent years because of his work on Daredevil and Captain America. This is my first go around with Criminal and it was worth the wait. This oversized volume is beautiful and full of extras. I’ll go over it in detail on today’s show.

Additionally covered today are details about the Superman Earth One HC-GN. In short it’ll be $19.99, 128 pages and is expected on September 7, 2010. I also go over Marvel’s Greatest Comics reprint project which is launching in March and pose the question – Who is Marvel’s “Trinity” – Characters wise and Creator wise?

All this and the New Releases of the Week.

Comic Con International is over and that gave us a ton of news to ponder over and celebrate. This weekend we hope to get a few more nuggets out of Wizard World Chicago Chicago Comic Con (let’s cross our fingers, anyway). In between time, and in case you missed it, here are a few gems I dug up:

  • Dean Mullaney’s Library of American Comics imprint is growing, published by IDW, with new series reprinting the comics strips Blondie, Secret Agent X-9 and King Aroo joining a powerhouse lineup that already includes Dick Tracy and Little Orphan Annie.
  • A Criminal Blog reports that Ed Brubaker’s Criminal Deluxe Edition will have 432 pages, not 360 as originally solicited. If it collects the first three trade paperbacks, then that leaves 72 pages for extras. Speculation is that one of the extras may be the Criminal emission from last year’s Liberty Comics #1. Also posted (from A Criminal Blog), as the artwork today, is the Cover for the Incognito TP.
  • GalleyCat has a really bizarre blog post on Collecting Literary Tattoos. To each his own, I guess.
  • Review: Collected Ediitons Blog on Final Crisis HC and TP (DC Comics)

This week on the show we get back into pricing, including talk about Paper Quality, Shipping Costs, Planning, Promotion and New Revenue Streams. Also we have two e-mails: one is for the Pro Cost-Per-Page Metric and one is Con Cost-Per-Page Metric. Should be a good one.

Also, what’s going to be included in the Criminal by Ed Brubaker Omnibus (November 4) and the Collected Edition (and other) troubles at Rude Dude Productions.

All this and the New Releases of the Week.

Not only am I a Podcaster/Blogger, but I’m also an avid listener of other podcasts and a reader of other blogs. I subscribe to over 160 different RSS feed with Google Reader. This also includes a few tech and sports feeds, but at last count, 91% are Comic Book related. I say this because more and more people that are blogging, are at the very least, are chatting about Collected Editions, but when it comes to the comic book news, more people are apt to talk about weekly comics, movies and TV. Only a handful in the blogosphere actually are committed to Collected Editions full time. This includes hardcore news and reviews (some are done in an audio format, like my CCL podcast). Some of these great site can be found on the Links to the right. My thanks to all of you who support us! Now on to some news:

  • Ed Brubaker has announced a Criminal Omnibus. Looks like it will retail for $50. At such a price it will probably only collect Volume 1 which are issues #1-10. (Thanks to Rich Johnson’s new Bleeding Cool for the gossip!)
  • It’s come across the wire as to just what the hold up is with the first Nexus Trade Paperback from Steve Rude and Rude Dude Productions. (My thanks to Sporadic Sequential and Augie De Blieck Jr. for the tip.)
    • We just received word from TransContinental (our printer in Canada) that Nexus: As it Happened V1 is printed, boxed, and ready to ship, but they want payment in full before they’ll ship. We’re $2,200 short so Steve dug up some more pages. We’re also $4,000 behind on mortgage, so we’re making an open offer to anyone interested in making a reasonable offer on any of the paintings that we currently have for sale.
  • Video: Stephan Pastis, Peral Before Swine, really want to promote his latest collection Pearls Sells Out (Thanks to Alan Gardner, Daily Cartoonist.)
  • The Graphic Novel Reporter lists the The Hottest Fiction GN’s, Tween GN’s, and Kids GN’s for Summer 2009.
  • John Mayo, CBR, has his Mayo Report: April 2009 Sales Analysis. You can catch the audio editions on his Comic Book Page podcast.
