  1. I didn't even know Azzarello has a Joker mini coming up. Do we know who the artist is?

  2. It took THIS long to S/B v4 to come out? Criminy!

  4. Well I'll certainly pick up the next Dini Detective and Question trades. I might buy the new Dixon Robin trade, depending on what I hear from reviewers. If Gotham Underground, DC Goes Ape!, the Azz/Joker mini, and the Phantom Stranger collections are paperbacks, then I'll snap them up as well.

    Is the Catwoman trade the next one from Will Pfeifer?

    According to this interview... http://www.brokenfrontier.com/lowdown/details.php?id=532
    ...the artist for the Azz/Joker series is Lee Bermejo.

    Cheers,
    Bob

  5. And once again, I see that my favorite title has been targeted with a needless hardcover just to artificially drive up prices.

  6. Justice Society: The Next Age and Brave and the Bold: The Lords of Luck come out in TPB in Oct. and Dec. respectively.

  7. I did a little Amazon looking myself and spotted Suicide Squad:From the Ashes, which is good. (But no Veitch Swamp Thing or Crisis Multiple volumes yet...)

  8. I thought it was interesting too that there weren't any Countdown to Final Crisis trades solicited. My guess is that they will show up among this bunch, but it was curious that they weren't there now.

    You have to feel sorry for Azzarello and Bermejo that the trade for their miniseries has been announced before the mini's even been solicited (same thing happened to Greg Rucka's Question/Crime Bible).

    I'd really like to see DC take some mainstream miniseries and, instead of releasing it issue by issue, release the whole thing as an oversized graphic novel. Or, offer the trade paperback at the same time as the miniseries starts, like Dark Horse did a while back when the Star Wars movies were re-released.

    I don't think "floppy" supporters would say the only reason they buy single issues is just because they want to stay "current" -- they like the monthly format and etc. So why not let everyone eat their cake at the same time, to butcher metaphors? It would be an interesting experiment as to how sales go for the single issues versus the collections.

  9. Actually, I won't be too surprised if they changed their minds and did the Joker mini as a full-on graphic novel instead, like what they did with that Top 10 mini. Which would explain the extremely early solicitation.

    Probably means yet another hardcover though. Ugh.

  10. According to Azzarello, the Joker book is a ogn, not a mini and will come out in hardcover.

  11. I'm looking at that Camelot 3000 Deluxe, JSA Presents: GL, the Dini Detective trade, and JLI Volume 3. I'll probably get the Fables covers book as well but I'd rather they wait until the whole thing was finished and then release them all.
