Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* this Floating World publication of a limited edition of Q by Aidan Koch completely slipped my attention until now.

* am I the only person that didn't know IDW will be releasing a version of that massive Wally Wood exhibition catalog this November?

* latest DC movies on their regular series titles: out with Captain Atom, Justice League International, Resurrection Man and Voodoo; in with Sword Of Sorcery, Talon, Team 7 and The Phantom Stranger. None of those really sounds like an upgrade, and it's hard for me to remember the last time an off-major title at one of these companies hit really hard, but swapping out titles that aren't working for something else from their library seems to be DC's strategy moving forward. Also, when I stop and think about it, I don't have a single memory of what the heck was in Captain Atom or Justice League International. I'm not exactly DC's prime market by any means, but I pay enough attention to comics that you'd think I'd pick up on something the same way I know there's a TV show out there with Jeffrey Morgan in it called Magic City. It's a crowded marketplace.

* Vertigo will also end its Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child series. I don't think I'd heard of that one, either.

* I think I already mentioned it, but in case I didn't: Marc Tyler Nobleman and Ty Templeton have a mass-market, I'm guessing without knowing all-ages safe biography of Bill Finger due this summer.

* Yen Press will publish more Twilight graphic novels. I'm sort of surprised if this was ever in doubt.

* I'm not always a fan of mainstream comic book covers, as I think they all look largely the same unless you're really soaked in that milieu, but I think I would stop and notice this one were I to see it staring back from me from the wall of visual noise that is the new comics rack at a typical store.

* Tardi, Tardi, Tardi.

* finally, Brigid Alverson notes new Vertical license Knights Of Sidonia.
