The third and apparently final LoEG Nemo book comes out in March:

quote:

In a world where all the fictions ever written coalesce into a rich mosaic, it's 1975. Janni Dakkar, pirate queen of Lincoln Island and head of the fabled Nemo family, is eighty years old and beginning to display a tenuous grasp on reality. Pursuing shadows from her past - or her imagination - she embarks on what may be a final voyage down the vastness of the Amazon, a last attempt to put to rest the blood-drenched spectres of old. With allies and adversaries old and new, we accompany an aging predator on her obsessive trek into the cultural landscape of a strange new continent, from the ruined city of Yu-Atlanchi to the fabulous plateau of Maple White Land. As the dark threads in her narrative are drawn into an inescapable web, Captain Nemo leads her hearse-black Nautilus in a desperate raid on horrors believed dead for decades. Through the exotic spectacle of an imagined South America, Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill steer their fifty-year-long Nemo trilogy to its remarkable conclusion, borne upon a River of Ghosts.

(Yu-Atlanchi is from the book The Face in the Abyss by Abraham Merritt; Maple White Land is from The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle.)



That might be Ilsa on the right.

DC is doing an Absolute Batman Year One collection. No word on what sort of extras it'll have, but there has to be something, right...?

There's also an upcoming hardcover of the mini-series The Golden Age. Don't know if it'll be oversized or have extras or anything.

Here's some upcoming stuff:

Paper Girls Deluxe Edition Book 2. (It might be better to read it like this than as individual issues.)

Black Hammer Library Edition Volume 1. (I do wonder if all the spinoffs will be collected together.)

Promethea: 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Book One. (I guess we're never getting that omnibus with double-page spreads.)

So did Prophet ever finish up? Why hasn't a hardcover been released? Is it just the five trades? Sorry I have been out of the loop for a while but that was my favorite series.

It finished. Brandon Graham says he wants hardcover collections but now it's just the paperbacks.

So I decided to try and catch up on the Carl Barks library from Fantagraphics.
Does anyone know if the double book slip cases sets for it are actually the hardbacks or paper back copies in the hardcover slipcase? It’s the cheaper option but I’m paranoid about getting the paperbacks when I started with the HCs.

They are hardcover.

What was wrong with the first edition?

For more Alan Moore there's The Killing Joke and Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, both of which are pretty short and self-contained. You might be interested in The Watchmen Companion, which collects role-playing games that were co-written by Moore. His run on Top Ten was fairly short too, though there are some spin-offs.

For Batman there's Arkham Asylum and Year One. And from the same team that did Year One is Daredevil: Born Again (both of them collect issues of ongoing series but are self-contained).

Larry Gonick has done a lot of science graphic novels like The Cartoon Guide to Physics and The Cartoon Guide to Biology.

Will Eisner did a lot of realistic graphic novels like Dropsie Avenue and A Life Force.

China Miéville's complete run on Dial H is in one book.

Amazing Forest and Sun Bakery are collected anthologies of science fiction and fantasy.

Manhunter by Goodwin and Simonson is a short collection, and Goodwin was also involved with The Golden Age, a mini-series about superheroes in the 1940s.
