April 27, 2012 3:09 pm I'm impressed how comprehensive this is. They finally included Kelly Jones' awesome covers. Definitely worth $30.

March 23, 2012 6:47 pm I don't think it's forgotten as much as writers take what they want from that run and leave what they don't. Even Whedon made reference to it in his Astonishing X-Men run. And the fact that Marvel keeps reprinting Morrison's run over and over (ie. the digest size trades they just put out and the newly solicited reprint of the omnibus), I'd say they haven't exactly discarded it as much as some think.

March 1, 2012 3:07 pm I bet he leaves Marvel and goes to write Archie. Imagine the mind-fuck he'd give that comic. I'd read that, Archie talking about theoretical physics and whether Mr. Applebee is real or not.

February 27, 2012 6:22 pm It's John Wayne, pilgrim.

February 24, 2012 6:16 pm Bleeding Cool is reporting he'll be writing multiple X-Men titles after A vs. X. Does this mean Gillen is gone? I assume Bendis will take over some X titles rather than new ones being created. Could Wolverine and the X-Men be ending way sooner than Jason Aaron was expecting? I'd imagine that would stay and Bendis would do Uncanny and either adjectiveless X-Men or X-Men Legacy. Still, gotta feel for Gillen unless he gets moved to something else or Bendis gets new X titles. Personally, I'd love to Abnett and Lanning to come over to Uncanny, preferably with a more standard status quo going on, as while Schism has made things interesting, when was the last time X-Men just "normal" and not trying to upset the status quo?

February 22, 2012 6:35 pm Yeah, a Showcase Presents would be perfect for that and other series that were cancelled early.

February 1, 2012 1:29 pm Do we need another Watchmen comic? No. I agree with Moore's comment about there not being any sequels to Moby Dick. Some things are better left on their own. As well, I agree with his daughter's tweet a little while ago about using those creators to create new stories instead of doing the prequels. The problem is, would a new character by Azz and Beremejo or Darwyn Cooke sell as well as a Watchhmen prequel, even if say they were stories about the actual Charlton characters? No. So while story wise we don't need more Watchmen, in terms of sales, DC knows that will make the most money. And last time I checked, that's what they're job is. Sadly in these times, they need any economic boost they can get, so they're probably more desperate to do this now than if things were back like the 90's. I am glad they've got some serious talent on this. I'm quite interested in the Azz and Cooke minis. Wein seems like an odd choice, and JMS I assume is simply for name power, although do you really need it when it's Watchmen? They could have used some other top talent, maybe someone who finishes projects. Anyway, it's finally here, we can come from out of our bomb shelters now and worry about the next property to be pecked at by the money-grubbing vultures. ;)

January 31, 2012 1:02 pm Definitely going to be keeping my I on JLD now.

January 27, 2012 1:56 pm It's on like Donkey Kong. I've loved Simonson since his X-Factor days. Now if only Marvel would collect those issues in colour and DC collect Orion. I needs me some Walt! Can't wait for this new OGN though, glad to see a bit of a resurgence. I wonder if the Thor Omnibus helped? I'm pleased nevertheless.

December 22, 2011 6:31 pm This comic is so smartly written, as most of Azz's stuff is, it just isn't always accessible. Nice to see this is.
