About the Siege covers.
DC used Marvel CW design only vertical.
And now Marvel is doing it vertical.
Marvel bias in a blogger,pretty rare.

Personally, I’m going to get DEVIL when it’s collected… having just heard about it, I’m already really super excited to get this… sometime in the fall I guess. ^_^;;; As for what other people will do… I agree that you’ll probably see scenario number 2 happen. Any manga fan that knows Maka-Maka is probably older and only knows this guy because they wanked to that book or a young lesbian, in which case this will not appeal to them.

Cheers for the words sir! Yeah, Fell is in limbo. It’s basically a deal now where if I eventually get a script, I’ll by all means jump on it. Warren is just hellishly busy etc etc. I’ll make time for it whenever he has some really.

“I’ve only read about 100 pages, total, of anything to do with Hellboy, ever. I just have no desire to read more.”

Huh. I did not know that.

“I can only assume people are kinda done with zombies for a while…”

Oh, don’t tease me. Would that it might be so.

“Apparently in this issue of Uncanny X-Men: First Class, Banshee must save a leprechaun from imps or gnomes or something. I am not making this up.”

Y’know, assuming (and I wouldn’t want to bet on it) that something like this hasn’t already been done at some point, it kind of astonishes me that it’s taken until 2010 for someone to write a story about Banshee and a leprechaun. I would credit the amazing restraint on Marvel’s part, but more likely it was just an oversight.

Hey Chris, great round-up as usual. A couple of things…

That Aliens Trade I think is the collection of the 4-issue mini that just came out. I’m not 100%, as they don’t state as much in the solicit, but the creative team is the same and the plot seems to match what I recall of the series.

I think Fell was also hit by Warren’s computer blowing up early 2008 and wiping a load of his scripts. He’s apparently been working on it again recently.

The Siege covers reminded me more of Civil War than Final Crisis, with the design being vertical, not horizontal.

Thanks for the kind words re: CHOKER, Christopher — very much appreciated!

I promise it’ll be one helluva ride…

The “material” from All Select Comics 70th Anniversary Special is the Michael Kupperman back-up story. Nice move on their part, I think.

Is it over-sized, as in the page size? I will have to check that out, because I am sucker for bigger page sizes. THAT’S how you get me to spend my money twice on the same dang comics, Marvel!

I seem to remember:
Ellis said he didn’t want to write any more scripts cause Templesmith was really busy for a while touring when 30 days of night the movie came out.
But that was forever ago, and Templesmith has since said that he’d draw more issues if he had scripts for them.
So dunno.

On the subject of Kishi & Madhouse’s Devil, my guess scenario #2 is what will happen. There’s folks out there who got into anime by way of the pre-Evangelion OAV market and are alienated by both manga and modern TV anime. Whether there’s enough folks to make it success is another question, but they are there. Personally, it feels like it might be a weird vanity project for someone in Madhouse to say they’ve made an American Comic.
