Is this out every other week now?
Methinks it double ships alot thru the summer months…I am totally okay with that. I suppose weekly would be asking a bit much
Wondering if they are double shipping to get the stories Gillen wanted to tell completed in preparation for the impending Thor crossover
I could read this book every week.
That’s a wise policy if that’s the case.
DC would be wise to do the same thing with Swamp Thing. I know, it takes longer to draw, blah blah but still.
A wiser decision would be to not derail the book with any impending crossovers and just let Gillen tell whatever stories he wanted on a monthly schedule with consistent art.
I am not sure how I missed this momentous occasion….drum roll please…we have a cover of JiM without the banner of a crossover…
Is it okay if I don’t enjoy Richard Elson on art as much as other artists this book has had?
He will be back for the Thor crossover later this summer and yes he is awesome!! I loved his style and his version of hell is just plain creepy in a good way.
Also, correct solicit:
Otherworld Aflame! • Can the Knights of the Round Table, Merlyn, Arthur, and even Captain Britain himself resist the power of the infernal, industrial North!?! • Meanwhile Loki’s mission deep inside the Manchester God itself discovers something that changes everything…
Looks like only one ish in July, then EVERYTHING BURNS crossover starts in August with #642 – hopefully with a stylish crossover banner for jerriblankstare
Here’s to hoping! I especially loved when they had crossover banner build up and had two at the same time…
Dammit. This might be my POTW. What a fascinating monologue in the final pages.
THere we are! Those are the big ideas and wonderful characterizations I love in my JIM! Great stuff!
Who is Master Wilson supposed to be? When I saw him last issue, I thought he was Richard Dawkins but he can’t be because his name is Wilson.

I feel stupid. I should have known that. I’ve seen 24 Hour Party People.
This book is so good I can’t believe it hasn’t been canceled yet.
ha ha! Sad but true – well played
