DC in October
Kevin Melrose has spotted DC's solicits for October. Some items that caught my eye:
Finally, Ed Brubaker is writing a two-part arc on Tom Strong, which might just be enough to get me to pick up this series again. (The fact that the two-parter is illustrated by Duncan Fegredo certainly doesn't hurt.) But I'm afraid even Brubaker isn't enough to make me interested in The Authority again.
Kevin Melrose has spotted DC's solicits for October. Some items that caught my eye:
- Solo
sounds like an interesting concept -- an entire issue
devoted to a single artist illustrating stories involving multiple
characters by multiple writers. The blurb says that artists are
free to work "in a variety of genres" but the first issue (which
focuses on Tim Sale) is 100% superheroes. Is that the way Solo
will always work, or was that just what Sale wanted to do?
- The first Focus collection is released, a 144-page, $9.95 TPB for
Hard
Time. Could it be manga-sized?
- The CMX
manga
books
are all running around 200 pages for $9.95.
- I am very excited for this.
- You knew it was coming once the writers of The Monolith
took over
on Hawkman: Guess who's guest-starring in Hawkman
#33?
- The next
JLA arc is by Kurt Busiek and Ron Garney and
spins out ofI'm sorry--"explodes from the pages of Busiek's JLA/AVENGERS!" I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. But the return of the Crime Syndicate of Amerika might be enough to sucker me into checking this out. - Huh? John Walsh of "America's Most Wanted" guest-stars in Outsiders
#17. Is this another one of those hokey media tie-ins
to get lots of free press? Well, it is written by Judd Winick...
- Those kinky superheroes!:
