Writers can work on more than one book at a time, so I imagine it doesn't mean anything. The book was announced for this year, if it is late it is more likely because Berger is leaving Vertigo this month and there is no replacement yet. E: I would be very surprised if Gaiman signed an exclusive.

Hey guys, Comixology has all of Hellblazer for £0.69 until Thursday since I can't rightly afford all the issues should I get the first lot of Delano stuff? Or any other little arcs?

Other then that they are all worth it and some of the best are Delano, Ennis, Ellis, Jenkins, Carey, and I personally enjoyed Milligans.

I work at a comic shop and was flicking through the last few issues of Hellblazer by Milligan. It seems interesting but my co-worker doesn't rate. I always liked seeing the Bizley covers though, my favourite one is the one with John and the Indian couple on the front, they all look pretty happy.

You will soon learn that nothing is happy in Hellblazer. No one got out of that title without getting serious mental and/or physical scarring. Also while Milligan's run is okay it is nothing compared to Shade. God that title is so good.

This time travel anthology that they put out a few weeks ago is really, really good. I'm glad I finally got around to reading it. See if your shop still has a copy. Time Warp #1

Seconding Time Warp. I just read it and was pleasantly surprised overall. I think my favorite story was the one about the memory candy. I also just got to the last issue of Saucer Country. Given that he probably only had a few issues notice that it was being cancelled I think Cornell wrapped it up as best as he could, although honestly except for the Pioneer people explanation I bet most of the issue is what would have been in it had it just been another issue and the story was continuing. Real bummed that Saucer Country is over, it was probably one of my favorite new series of the past few years.

So based on recommendations from the forums, I read through Young Liars today. Why do people think it is a good comic? Can someone give me the run down? I'm less looking for an opinion fight and more trying to figure out if I missed something.

So, I bought the first collected edition of fairest, and it was okay I guess? But HOLY poo poo bill willingham, there was an entire page of a bottle imp spouting  about how briar rose could not, OR EVER keep up with ali baba when running away from a thing because she's a woman.I'm sure there was other stuff in it too but I wasn't poring over the comic looking for bill willingham being...bill willingham I guess?

Not sure if this has been asked yet, but -- if I don't currently own any Sandman, would the Omnibus be a good buy? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401241883/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Basically, will a DC/Vertigo HC of ~1000 pages fall apart? Reading will be reasonably careful and occasional, but that's a BIG book.

So, when I bought fairest, I also bought jack of fable's and...I don't know maybe having read the great fables crossover already kinda ruined it or something, but even beyond that I can't seem to tolerate jack, he's just such a giant dick.

So in Unwritten I like that Pulman is in the Dante's Inferno Hell. Which had at its core Satan forever half trapped in ice. I imagine the names of the demons he calls out are from there? Or perhaps Paradise Lost. Gotta say I'm surprised his dad is coming back to life too. But coming up next a Fables crossover? Really? Ugh. Although I'm sure it'll be good the thought of its not making me too thrilled.

Just finished izombie and I have mixed feelings on it. The art was amazing as to be expected since it is Allred. However, it is obvious that the series was cut short. Things just happened without build up and you could tell that it was a 50ish issue series compressed into 28 issues. I really think I would have enjoyed it more if it had as many issues as intended.

Benny the Snake posted:Hey, one out of seven ain't bad. Actually I don't recognize anybody outside of Simone, Francavilla, Cloonan, and Rucka. How are the other guys? Jeff Lemire rules. Check out Sweet Tooth and Animal Man (especially the first trade.) He's illustrated some really nice short stories in previous Vertigo anthologies (Mysteries in Space, Ghosts, Time Warp) Fawkes writes Justice League Dark and Constantine with Lemire which I think are pretty decent. edit: Check out Lemire's recent $1 digital Superman comic. It's super sweet. http://www.comixology.com/Adventures-of-Superman-2013-2/digital-comic/APR130208 His Essex County is very reminiscent of this. Just transpose in hockey for Superman.

His three issues on the current Conan (9-12) are superb. Obviously, Dave Stewart doing the color helps a lot.

Declan did a bunch of issues for Parker's Thunderbolts right? His work was pretty awesome there too.
