Fantastic article, Sonia. Doesn't hurt that a good chunk of the artists you profiled are some of my faves!
@TheNextChampion Ashley Wood has been in the comic book industry for quite a while, actually - much like Templesmith, he found a home at IDW and has been quite prolific.
October 30, 2008 12:35 am Having chatted with Ron about the Geoff Johns sweep, I'm completely caught off-guard. I skipped this in lieu of the eventual trade, but now I'm wishing I hadn't.
Ron, you crazy if you think Preacher doesn't have lasting sales power - that series ended eight years ago and the trades still sell like crazy. If DC doesn't have an Absolute timed for the first episode when it hits HBO, they'd be crazy.
Then again, they sort of forgot the 70th birthday of Superman, so maybe they are crazy.
Identity Crisis is too short - I don't think it meets the minimum page count requirement of an Absolute, so unless you're looking at a ton of supplemental material like Kingdom Come or New Frontier, we probably won't be seeing it anytime soon.
I'd kill for Absolute Sleeper, but Lee said that as much as he'd love to publish it, the book'll never happen. Not a big enough audience. Are the Sleeper trades still in print, even?
As for Absolute Green Lantern...the question is "Will DC just collect Sinestro Corps, or will they wait for Blackest Night and throw in Rebirth to complete the trilogy?"
