I don't think Dark Key will ever 'catch on' and become the next hot thing in comics. They're too retro and quaint. But that also makes them different from everything else out there and appeal to people like me who miss good old fashioned fun comics. Agreed. That's definitely the market for these bo...

TFAW now lists the Doctor Solar V1 tpb for a May 25th release.

There shouldn't be a 3 or even 2-month gap between #6 and #7 once #5 and #6 are most certainly rescheduled.

If I was insanely rich I would buy Marvel and DC and release a 200 issue Ultimate All-Star Comic Crossover -- "Secret Crisis of the Infinite War Saga". Reboot everything from the beginning and retcon everything that has happened over the past 30 years. :!: Oh wait - they both already do t...

I recently read the FVZA trade, the Mata Hari preview, and the Rising preview. The Rising was decent but Mata Hari and FVZA were great reads. Good enough to sample some of their other books so I've ordered their Last Days of American Crime and Time Bomb series. Anyone have experience with any of the...

Have also purchased several trades from the Boom Kids line for my son and have been very impressed with them as well. Considering how few publishers bother to print comics for that age group, Boom's offerrngs are a welcome addition.

I read the first couple of issues of Irredeemable when it first came out but didn't enjoy it. I've read the trade since and found it far more entertaining. Looking forward to reading Incorruptable at some point, seems like a better concept to me. I'm been trying to read Irredeemable vol. 4 and I ha...

Is this DCBService.com?

Yes. Lone Star also has the above in stock minus the Samson variant which is not mentioned.

Noticed this last week. Had just recently finished the 2nd and 3rd trades for Irredeemable and was very impressed. Ordered the 4th and 5th trades and made it the only non-DH ongoing on my preorder list. Just in time for the future of the title to be in doubt with this change by Mark Waid. Oh, well. ...

The scheduled release date for Solar #7 is actually May 23rd. Unless that is a mistake by DH, it appears to be an attempt to reconcile their advance schedule with actual shipping dates.

Both Samson covers, Solar #4, and the Occultist #1 DK-look cover is in stock at DCBS.

Wrote this last week at DK in regards to this subject....... To each their own. IMO, we've already seen some "fresh and exciting" moments from the books that have been published. My personal favorite so far is the 8-10 page dialogue between Clarkson and Solar in Solar #1 that basically lay...

Heh. Some things never seem to change.

Time for my monthly post, in response to VEI's protracted silence and lack of publishing. It is now 2 years since VEI had a press/news item they posted to their own website. They still have a 2008 copyright on the site, and to an outsider I really do think it can only look like a dormant entity, fa...

Great idea for the cover. That image probably more than any other in the Harbinger run reflects the feel of this series while Jim was writing. It makes quite a statement.

Easily one of the most powerful and memorable images from Valiant.

Nice alternatives. I think both your suggestions for #1 beat the original.

Samson #1A is now rescheduled to release with #1B on Dec 15th.

Doctor Solar #3 has shipped and is in stock this morning at DCBS and Lone Star.

No mention of Solar 3, however.

I posted at DK this morning that Turok 1A, 1B, and Mags 2 are in stock at DCBS.

I noticed while checking at TFAW this morning that all 3 books set for Oct 13th release have scans of the exact cover. DH has been posting the published cover 1-2 weeks in advance of the release. No such scan is posted yet for Solar #3. Something to consider.

Not sure about late books but they do occasionally reschedule. For example, as I noted at DK, Fear Agent had the release dates for the last 2 issues moved back 3 months......Oct to Jan and Nov to Feb. On the other hand, DH has also been releasing some books ahead of schedule. I recently saw a list o...

From the interview I did with Jim Shooter for the Solar 10 extra book. "I pretty much made up the Geomancers on the fly. Like everything at VALIANT (all caps, always), I batted the idea around with some of the crew. JayJay Jackson and Don Perlin, in particular, were involved. JayJay contribute...

According to TFAW, Turok #1A and B are rescheduled for release on Oct 13th.

It's amazing to me that cover prices on comics have outpaced either inflation or cover prices on hard and softcover novels. Comic book prices have doubled (sometimes more) in the past 15 years. This is not all that weird, I am sure the price of paper has increased (probably quadruple, and they use ...
