I finally read the Bug floppies I’ve had lying around for months. Bug was really good. Allred is very much a successor to Kirby. Probably the closest creator out there, and it was really obvious with this series. High concept talky scripts with plot points swinging all over the place and a frenetic pace. And the art. If you haven’t read it, you should.

Jordan7hm posted:Death Bed #1 was very good. Riley Rossmo is a good art person, and I really like Williamson's indie stuff. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. I hope Death Bed fails horribly, because apparently Bedlam will be making a return and it won't be the same with a different artist.

The depiction of a character in DC continuity limbo is something else in Milk Wars #4. A crucifixion involving DC logo stigmata. I hope that's hard, hard canon. I almost feel like so much of DP #11 is explained so far, that they might as well skip it and try and get 12 out faster.

New Sandman related series for Vertigo overseen by Neil Gaiman, including new volumes of Books of Magic and Lucifer. http://ew.com/books/2018/03/01/neil-gaiman-sandman-universe-comics/ quote:Gaiman is coming back to the Dreaming in a big way. EW can exclusively announce that DC Comics is launching a Sandman Universe line of four new comic series. The books will be overseen by Gaiman but written and drawn by brand new creative teams. They will pick up story threads and themes from The Sandman while also adding new characters and concepts. quote:The project kicks off this August with The Sandman Universe one-shot special, which will catch readers up on what’s been happening in Dream’s realm. quote:Hopkinson will write House of Whispers and explore how the voodoo deity Erzulie ended up in the Dreaming with her titular house. It might have something to do with a comatose woman named Latoya, whose girlfriend and sisters used the Book of Whispers to try and heal her. Now out of her coma, Latoya is suffering from the Cotard’s Delusion belief that she’s already dead, and is transmitting her belief to others, catalyzing them to become guardians of the gap that has opened in the Dreaming. quote:Howard will write Books of Magic, which will follow up on Gaiman’s 1990 miniseries of the same name and explore Timothy Hunter’s magical education as he’s torn between two powerful destinies. quote:Spurrier will write The Dreaming, which will follow The Sandman supporting characters like Lucien the librarian and Matthew the Raven as they navigate a Dreaming without Dream. quote:Watters will write Lucifer, which finds the titular devil blind and destitute, trapped living in a small boarding house in a quiet town where no one can ever leave. Interview with Gaiman in link.

I think it's really cool that they're leaning into this creator focused small imprint concept that's kind of adjacent to the main DCU. Wildstorm and YA must be doing better for them than the print number indicate.

Hopefully that description of the Books of Magic is just kind of generic and doesn't mean they're going to retcon the 90s ongoing series

I doubt Neil would let that happen, he understands the way fans work and overwriting such a good series would be a huge misstep for someone as experienced for him to make in what is probably his strongest medium

Lightning Lord posted:Hopefully that description of the Books of Magic is just kind of generic and doesn't mean they're going to retcon the 90s ongoing series Books of Magic was the poster child for "generic" to begin with. It had already been done better with the Journals of Luke Kirby in 2000AD, which had in turn drawn heavily on Alan Garner.

Confirmation that every Young Animal title other than Doom Patrol is ending at #6 of their rebrands. http://www.comicsbeat.com/exclusive-dcs-young-animal-winds-down-for-now-but-doom-patrol-will-return/ I might close this thread and shift discussion into the DC megathread. We never really got enough posts here anyway. Maybe Vertigo will deserve it's own thread again when the Sandman comics and their relaunch start up later in the year. YA 4EVA!!
