Top Shelf To Do Marshal Law Omnibus

Top Shelf has landed one of the few reprint project gems still out there waiting to be repackaged and dropped into the modern trade-heavy and perennial-seller marketplace: Marshal Law, the satirical superhero-killer superhero series by Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill that had previously found a home at Marvel and Dark Horse. Marshal Law was one of the two or three most important superhero comics since the mid-1980s, particularly in terms of extending the darker treatment made popular by Frank Miller and Alan Moore twenty-some years ago while at the same time ripping into its excesses. Marshal Law also had a considerable number of fans among a wide spectrum of comics readers, in sort of the same way that Hellboy has fans that respond to the evocative style of the work that might not otherwise particularly care for the represented genre. Top Shelf plans a full-color omnibus of all the comics to date, which sounds just about perfect to me.
