Bundled, Tossed, Untied & Stacked: Publishing News

By Tom Spurgeon

* missed this sneak peek at character designs on Kid Lobotomy, from the Shelly Bond-led imprint at IDW, Black Crown. It's all in the execution, and I like both of those creators, but there are lot of comics working that general space.

* yesterday's Jim Blanchard interview -- I'll try to jump back on here and link to it directly -- provides details on a couple of projects to come, including a 100-page collection of collaborative comics I'm not sure I knew even existed.

* here's the Star Wars slipcased very expensive edition I didn't ask for; here's the nice presentation of Akira I did. That there's a likely market for both is fascinating to me, but not surprising.

* a Scott Snyder/Greg Capullo Batman-driven but generally DCU-wide event comic has been announced with a little more fanfare than these things get anymore. It makes sense, though, because of Snyder and Capullo's track record together -- the company and those creators should get the benefit of what they accomplished if they set out to do something high-profile together in the near-future. Superhero event comics have an interesting relationship with their featured creators for sure.

* finally: you line them all up and that LOAC essentials line is a pretty great little group: some biggies name-wise even now, and others not so much. All worth reading, though.
