Bundled, Tossed, Untied and Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

what's coming out, who's doing it and what it's going to look like; gathered into one place once a week for ease of consumption

* the cartoonist Elijah Brubaker has released the cover image for the fifth issue of his Reich ongoing.

* the Hero Initiative charitable group will publish a collection of Stan Lee's "Stan's Soapbox" editorials in November. I'm betting half of you just thought, "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard" and half of you just thought, "Oh yeah, I'm totally getting that."

* starting with the fifth volume, publisher IDW is revamping its approach to their Dick Tracy reprint series to better accommodate the Sunday reprints. Considering how gorgeous those Sundays are, anything that shows them off more effectively is great news.

* I totally missed this, but Jason doing a werewolf story at some point would be pretty great.

* the cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks does the full preview thing for December's The War At Ellsmere, coming from SLG.

* finally, Derek Kirk Kim is working on the follow-up to his forthcoming collaboration with Gene Yang, The Eternal Smile, to be published by First Second in 2009 (art sample below). The one he's working on now is a solo effort, also coming from First Second. I had barely heard of the collaboration, and hadn't heard at all about the solo work, so: fantastic.
