WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Best thing I've laid my peepers on in weeks!

This is the reason I'm goin' to the comix store tomorrow. Lives up to the potential, eh?

Everything I've seen looks GR8 but I gotta wait for the trade, I gave up Prestige Format after part one of the Green Lantern/Flash 2-parter that the kid has on LOST.

Fuck one prestige format. This should be on newsprint so that you can give to kids and not care if they get peanut butter and jam all over it.

A fair point, Huck.

I like! But on the prestige tip, the copy I got had these ugly creases in the page and now I am wanting to exchange it for a fairer company -- C/D?

I gotta say, this is the first thing since I've gotten back on comics that has me tempted to forego the "wait for the trade!" approach, I'm so hyped for this.

It's spectacular. I'm perfectly happy to get jam on it too.

I've been waiting like five years for this to come out, I figure I can make it another few months.

SECRET CODES ARE AWESOME and Smith is blogging production at http://www.boneville.com

It's Jeff Smith, the trade will be out in 2050.

If this came with a single of "Jam On It" it would be the greatest pop culture thing ever.

"Shazam on it"

one year passes...

Just read the collected hardcover. Very sweet art, classic storytelling. A bit over the top with the Karl Rove thing, but it was conceived in the fall of '01. Interesting choice to make Mary Marvel a tiny little cherub. And WHOA! on the death of the Wizard.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but Mike Kunkel's new SHAZAM series that just started last week is unexpectedly terrific (and picks up where Smith left off story-wise, although it's very different stylistically). Worth a look for sure.

― Douglas, Monday, 7 July 2008 21:56 (seventeen years ago)

Ditto on Kunkel! It's really fun and immensely enjoyable.

― Dr. Superman, Monday, 7 July 2008 22:23 (seventeen years ago)

Yaaaaassss, I dig it, too.
