Thing that sparked the discussion again most recently was the reappearance of <i>Breathtaker</i> — which, it seems, might've even just been a regular DC publication — being reprinted by Titan, an unexpected publisher.Bramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224971335907211925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-53737052023098190142015-06-22T14:47:03.674-07:002015-06-22T14:47:03.674-07:00I think some of the books in the Marvel Graphic No...I think some of the books in the Marvel Graphic Novel series (<i>Greenberg the Vampire</i> being one of them, perhaps?) were either officially or unofficially related to Epic Comics, Marvel's now-defunct creator-owned imprint. Based on the number of books from the Epic line that are re-appearing either in new collected editions or as Secret Wars tie-ins (or both), I wonder if some sort of option has finally expired and Marvel now owns the full rights to them.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-53088726829202875392015-06-20T10:03:02.658-07:002015-06-20T10:03:02.658-07:00Looking at Diamond, the various "color" ...Looking at Diamond, the various "color" trades exist, but don't know if they're currently in stock. In my experience, Sale is a selling point for critics and a few fans; Loeb isn't a draw independent of Batman, especially these days.<br /><br />I owned that <i>Greenberg</i> GN for a while — it was those '80s oversized books, like <i>God Loves, Man Kills</i>. Neurotic writer humor, fun enough, with great art. Odd choice to bring back, though. Seems a bunch of stuff of that era's working back into print, prompting a reaction around the LCS of, "hey I remember that, I guess that's been unavailable. Wonder if anybody cares."<br /><br /><i>"If I had married Deadpool, I"m pretty sure I would have kept my maiden name…"</i> Not if you saw how anything with that name flies off the shelf.Bramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224971335907211925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-13821065369007942672015-06-18T15:15:45.350-07:002015-06-18T15:15:45.350-07:00I can't judge SECRET WARS at all, having read....I can't judge SECRET WARS at all, having read...one issue of A-FORCE. I'm really excited about the main series, as Hickman's Avengers books have been so damn exciting. I look forward to reading, like, all of these in trade, some more than others, certainly, but I like that Marvel's using the event to publish some pretty crazy stuff.

The three I'm reading have all been fine so far, if nothing that should win awards, and they haven't required me to pay the slightest attention to Hickman's main mini-series, which helps.<br /><br />Also, Caleb, the guy wearing the symbiote is described as a minotaur named Marcus.

I've sampled almost all of the Secret Wars books that have come out so far and I'm just really not getting this as any more than warmed over "Age of Apocalypse"/"What-If" stories.<br /><br />Sure, Peter David writing a Hulk is always good for a read, but the rest...Shrinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908213967283171538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-73507846555591024592015-06-18T10:37:09.269-07:002015-06-18T10:37:09.269-07:00Caleb: DAREDEVIL: YELLOW was pretty good.

I actually liked it more than the Hulk book.<br /><br />I was an old man of 35 and reading straight-up DC when the original SECRET WARS came out, and these books beat the Convergence stuff all to hell. i'm somewhat familiar with HULK: FUTURE IMPERFECT and some of the other "worlds", so I'm not all that lost.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-6454592525924380362015-06-17T20:59:32.107-07:002015-06-17T20:59:32.107-07:00Thats cloak...daggers next to himThats cloak...daggers next to himDavid pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14120693580102798706noreply@blogger.com
