Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* I didn't want this one to get caught in the rush of Comic-Con news: a new Jimbo mini by Gary Panter. (via) I guess Gary releases these mini-comics as a build-up to a bigger Jimbo book, the future existence of which is also fantastic news.

* from John Vest comes word that the latest Steve Ditko publication with Robin Snyder, The Cover Series is now available.

* missed it: so apparently, the new Deadpool #1000 features various wacky Deadpool stories created by alt-comics luminaries such as Peter Bagge and Michael Kupperman. That totally escaped my attention.

* plucked from the hobby business news and analysis site ICv2.com comes word of several projects that escaped my attention when announced at or around Comic-Con International: Abrams will publish Harvey Pekar's last book, Yiddishkeit; Image is doing a comic series from the Chinese novel and graphic novel effort Daomu, although heck if I know what a concentration on transmedia storytelling has to do with the comic itself; Tokypop will publish Ghostface, a five-volume series by Min-woo Hyung (Priest) in Spring 2011; Viz is repackaging Death Note; Stan Lee Comics announced its first batch of books; this site noted the new Rocketeer work but likely failed to mention a revival of John Byrne's Next Men; Dark Horse announced a solid line-up of creators for three new Robert E. Howard-related projects; Top Shelf will have the second new LOEG installment out next year; sounds good.

* First Second is serializing a story that originally appeared in Tugboat Press' Papercutter series.

* finally, Tom Neely said something in San Diego I should have mentioned then but only just thought about it now: his collaborative project with Aaron Turner, The Wolf is still planned for a release, probably this Fall. That one's had a couple of release dates since being announced back in January 2009. Here's the art from the postcard that Neely gave me with more information on it, that I've since lost.
