Okay, so a lot of these were announced beforehand, and I'm sure some of them already started (I don't really pay attention to most Dynamite stuff). I just picked the stuff that caught my attention while reading through the coverage.

So many good ones. Pak's Magneto, JG's ASB, Terry Moore's Runaways, Hickman's The Core, "The Stand" adaptation...

― Mordy, Monday, 2 June 2008 22:59 (eighteen years ago)

I think all the DC/Vertigo stuff had been announced in advance, except maybe Palmiotti's Terra. Of those, I am predictably psyched for Superman Beyond. But I'll read Jeff Parker anything.

Peter Tomasi's Final Crisis: Requiem for Martian Manhunter (DC)

I like to imagine that this will prove an unofficial sequel to Tomasi's previous BLACK ADAM: THE DARK AGE. Ah, whimsy...

none of the above!

btw, did Whedon's Runaways run wrap up or is there still more to go?

― Jordan, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

There's one more left.

― R Baez, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 16:57 (eighteen years ago)

SEAGUY 2. That's on the list, right?

― Matt M., Wednesday, 4 June 2008 17:49 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not looking forward to any of those. Maybe I should just give up on comics.

― The Real Dirty Vicar, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

I am looking forward to SEAGUY 2, yarsss.

― The Real Dirty Vicar, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

I don't give two tugs of a dog's cock about anything on that list, depending on who JG is. I am looking forward with delirious anticipation to the HUMBUG box, the broadsheet-sized KRAMER'S ERGOT and tomorrow's ACHEWOOD though! And FOUR MORE GLORIOUS YEARS of Thimble Theatre collections!

I'VE GOT KRAMER'S ERGOT (one of them???)!!! It's awesome!

― Dr. Superman, Thursday, 5 June 2008 05:29 (eighteen years ago)

I've got the one where the guy did his complete sexual history. It was kinda creepy and wonderful.

― Dr. Superman, Thursday, 5 June 2008 05:31 (eighteen years ago)

That's #5 - #4 was the first awesome one and is about to be reprinted in hardcover. (The David Heatley strip is also in one of the issues of his Deadpan series from Fanta.)

#7 is coming out in a few months, will be a 16" by 21" hardcover, and have three enormous pages apiece from Dan Clowes, Adrian Tomine, Xaime Hernandez, Al Columbia, Kim Deitch, Ware, Carol Tyler, Swarte, Blanquet, Paper Rad and more.

― energy flash gordon, Thursday, 5 June 2008 06:01 (eighteen years ago)

So, I guess I'm looking forward to that! And to #6!

― Dr. Superman, Thursday, 5 June 2008 07:52 (eighteen years ago)

And FOUR MORE GLORIOUS YEARS of Thimble Theatre collections!

Is it wrong to agree this is one of the comics things I am waiting for most also? (Plus Pogo reprints should finally start this year)

It could not be more right.

speaking of the HUMBUG box, someone got paid to write this sentence:

"After the premature demise of Trump Kurtzman went on to edit the short-lived black-and-white Humbug magazine, which died with issue #11 largely because of poor distribution and then, from 1960-1965, the chronically under-funded, but enormously influential Help! for Warren, but he never again had the chance to one-up his stint on Mad Magazine that Trump would have provided had circumstances been different."

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― ILX System, Thursday, 12 June 2008 23:01 (eighteen years ago)

Only the Superman 3D is even nibbling at my interest. Actually the Johns/Perez Legion is v. tempting, but the Superman Prime factor is not.

― Dr. Superman, Friday, 13 June 2008 02:05 (eighteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― ILX System, Friday, 13 June 2008 23:01 (eighteen years ago)

What's the hype about Superman 3D? They don't come with those red glossy glasses things, do they?
