Other than Chris Ryall being a weird-o IDW is a pretty great company and this means Top Shelf is gonna stick around for so I have no problem with it. It'll probably lead to some more awesome giant hardcovers on my shelves so double awesome. Are they still #4? With the loss of Star Wars at DH and this gain at IDW it seems like they're bigger.

I've considered IDW bigger than Dark Horse for a while. Hell, at this point, BOOM! and Dynamite might be above DH.

Waterhaul posted:IDW is just a weird publisher to me, they've got those great artist collections and are publishing Corto Maltese now but 90% of their output seems to be Star Trek x My Little Pony x pretty much every single 80's franchise possible. to be fair Transformers vs. GI Joe is one of the best monthly comics being published.

Conveniently, Comichron keeps track of all of this. Just going to November, their most recent numbers, we have Image getting about double the dollar share of IDW in singles (8.73% and 4.30%, respectively), and even more than that in TPB/graphic novel sales (11.67% and 4.39%) putting that at 3rd and 4th place on both lists. Top Shelf gets 0.12% of TPB/GN sales dollars, so this buyout won't change anything in that regard. There's actually more people buying Archie trades than Top Shelf. Dark Horse is 5th and Dynamite is 6th on both of those lists. Granted, this is all direct market sales, but I doubt bookstore/Amazon sales are making a massive change in any of those figures. Somewhat off topic, but Marvel holds 7% of the market over DC despite releasing 19 fewer books that month.

Is Fables still going? How has it gone in terms of quality? I fell off somewhere around volume 8 I think, and I seem to recall hearing it got bad after that.

Weird question but in Injustice 15, Supes talks about how the blood of Ollie and Ray are on Batman's hands. Who the hell is Ray?

zoux posted:Ray Palmer? I thought that too, but he's never made an appearance to my knowledge. The only deaths I can recall offhand are : Ollie Commissioner Gordon Nightwing Captain Atom (sorta) Martian Manhunter (sorta) Guy Gardner (misc shitton of Green Lanterns) Ganthet Ragman Bullock Jason Blood Most of those wouldn't be known to WW, since she's been in a magic coma since the arctic.

That's kinda what I figured as well. Weird, but eh, not really surprising when the dude who's been writing it for 3 years bails and a new guy starts writing. He's not gonna nail every detail from the first year.

Lots of places are saying that if you didn't know the author changed you wouldn't notice it. This one's an editor error anyway. If DC even has anymore of those.

Honestly it's not that big of a deal, I was just left wondering "What the gently caress?" because I've been reading since it started. Besides, next week seems to be a slobber knocker

Look guys, writers have busy lives and I'm not sure when you expect him to read like 37 whole issues of a series before writing it.

Everything in that announcement sounds awesome except for Spawn because who gives a gently caress about Spawn in 2015. Most excited to see Steve Skroce back in comics, I love that dude.

McFarlane is so loving dense. Liefeld has realized that his time has gone and he has been giving his characters to talented people for several years now; meanwhile that dunce is announcing Paul Jenkins as hot new author of Spawn.

Skottie Young's new book seems super therapeutic for him after years of Wizard of Oz comics and cutesy baby variant covers so I'm excited to see what he does with that.

Paul Jenkins can be good, see his Hellblazer run. However that was a long time ago and his recent output has not been that great.

Paul Jenkins has plenty of experience with over-powered superheroes from yesteryear that everybody forgot about.

We should have an Image thread, I honestly cannot keep track of all their books. I'd make it myself, but I'm totally clueless.

Island looks super good. I'm also exited for Plutona, D.A., and pretty much every other book after 'em on the multiversity list. More Carla Speed McNeil! and way more Emma Rios!! Phonogram, Paper Girls, Darwin Cooke! Yeah, if those books are as good as they sound Image is gonna have one hell of a year.
