Marvel Comics Collected Editions April 2012 Solicitations

January 26, 2012
By

Marvel Comics has released their April 2012 solicitations.
After seeing my friend @ronxo gush about Darkhawk Classic Vol. 1 on twitter, I did a little research and found out that this comic was done by Danny Fingeroth and Mike Manley. Although I am vaguely familiar with the 1990′s hero, I did not know that my friends created the comic. I’m also excited to see Secret Warriors Omnibus. As many of you know I’m reading all the Nick Fury I can in 2012 and this will be a great addition to my library.
What are you getting?

Collected Comics Library Podcast #324
90Mb; 98m 13s

This is it! My Big Year in Review Show! Not only do I go over my Top 10 Collected Editions of 2011 (which I already blogged about), but I also do a month by month look – and critique – of many news and noteworthy books that caught my eye from all the major companies this past year.

Warning: I say it every year; this particular podcast should be taken in moderation because this is not your typical CCL Podcast. What this basically is, is one big list, so I suggest you listen while shoveling snow, mowing your lawn, going on a long commute, etc. It’s perfectly alright to keep this as a reference tool.

I have also supplied a much more expanded collected editions release list for 2011 and a time listing of all the different months.

Intro and Top 10 – 00:00
January – 18:08
February – 22:10
March – 24:45
April – 31:35
May – 38:43
June – 46:33
July – 53:55
August – 57:09
September – 1:05:39
October – 1:11:01
November – 1:18:57
December and Outro – 1:29:48

My sincere thanks to all of you! Have a great and wonderful 2012!

Marvel Comics Collected Editions March 2012 Solicitations

December 20, 2011
By

Marvel Comics has released their March 2012 solicitations. Obviously there a ton of Avengers (and Hawkeye) books to go around just in time for the Summer blockbuster. You can rest assured that this trend will continue in April and May and possibly June. The buzz will be about the Ultimate Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1 HC, but these books have been reprinted so many times, I’d be shocked to know that you haven’t read them sometime in the past 10 years. It’s fantastic work and should have been given the Omnibus treatment years ago. Two others I’m interested in are Elektra By Greg Rucka Ultimate Collection and Wolverine & Nick Fury: Scorpio both of which I wish they were hardcover.
What are you getting?

Marvel Comics Collected Editions February 2012 Solicitations

November 28, 2011
By

Marvel Comics has released their February 2012 solicitations. Very much Avenger centric with the release of the Omnibus, the Masterworks, the new hardcover of the Kree/Skrull War, the Origin trade and the Best-Of anthology of Cap, Thor and Iron Man.
On the flip side Marvel will be reprinting Silver Surfer: Parable Premiere HC, written by Stan Lee and penciled by Moebius. This rarely seen comic has stunning artwork and, personally I think it should rank up as one of the must read/own Marvel books of all time. Beware, it’s not so much in Marvel continuity and may though you off if you are a Marvel Cosmic fan thanks to the recent Annihilation and subsequent books, but you could think of it on par as a DC Elseworlds. Try it out, I think you’ll enjoy it.
