Regarding the dated looks in Section Zero #1, if I remember correctly this issue was originally published in ’99 or ’00 from the short-lived Gorilla Comics so that explains the 90’s style.
I believe they are planning to reprint the 3 issues from Gorilla, and then finishing the story in issues #4-6 that they never got a chance to do.
That makes a lot of sense!
‘Graphic novel… it’s like fancy dress for comics,’. Brilliant, Josh!
Yup, Section Zero is indeed a literal leftover from the ’90s.
I was pretty surprised to hear Josh disparage the paper quality in Detective 1000 (I actually only listened to last week’s pod just before this one so this may be a comment for last week – which would make more sense) because that’s the new stock used by DC on all their comics and I think it’s a gigantic improvement over the flimsy, glossy stuff they were using before. This is much sturdier, doesn’t suffer from glare problems and captures the colours quite nicely. Unless I’m misremembering and they used the old stock for Detective?
Finally, one super nitpicky, grammar-nazi point: the singular of pants is pants, not pant.
I’ll see myself out.
Re: Graphic novel vs. collected editions
How I explain it when asked is by comparing it to DVD releases: a graphic novel would be equivalent to a movie, whereas a collected edition would be equivalent to a season of a television series or a mini-series.
