So with Gaiman back at Marvel now, what does that mean for the Sandman prequel?

Unless it's an exclusive deal, probably nothing. Even if it is exclusive, it's quite possible Gaiman turned in scripts already.

Writers can work on more than one book at a time, so I imagine it doesn't mean anything.
The book was announced for this year, if it is late it is more likely because Berger is leaving Vertigo this month and there is no replacement yet.
E: I would be very surprised if Gaiman signed an exclusive.

Helping write one comic doesn't make him exclusive. Surely JHW3 has already begun illustrating by now, anyway.

Ugh, back in my day Dinosaurs were good enough to impress the kids.


Hey guys, Comixology has all of Hellblazer for £0.69 until Thursday since I can't rightly afford all the issues should I get the first lot of Delano stuff? Or any other little arcs?

Every single run of Vertigo is awesome except for Denise Mina and some people including me do not find Brian Azzarello to be that great. Other then that they are all worth it and some of the best are Delano, Ennis, Ellis, Jenkins, Carey, and I personally enjoyed Milligans.

I work at a comic shop and was flicking through the last few issues of Hellblazer by Milligan. It seems interesting but my co-worker doesn't rate. I always liked seeing the Bizley covers though, my favourite one is the one with John and the Indian couple on the front, they all look pretty happy.

You will soon learn that nothing is happy in Hellblazer. No one got out of that title without getting serious mental and/or physical scarring. Also while Milligan's run is okay it is nothing compared to Shade. God that title is so good.

This time travel anthology that they put out a few weeks ago is really, really good. I'm glad I finally got around to reading it.

See if your shop still has a copy. Time Warp #1

Seconding Time Warp. I just read it and was pleasantly surprised overall. I think my favorite story was the one about the memory candy.

I also just got to the last issue of Saucer Country. Given that he probably only had a few issues notice that it was being cancelled I think Cornell wrapped it up as best as he could, although honestly except for the Pioneer people explanation I bet most of the issue is what would have been in it had it just been another issue and the story was continuing.

Real bummed that Saucer Country is over, it was probably one of my favorite new series of the past few years.

Well then you'll be very happy to learn that Cornell and Kelly are currently working out a way to continue Saucer Country under another publisher.

Just got it, 3 stories in and it rules so much. I think this is the first Gail Simone I read and I really liked it.

So based on recommendations from the forums, I read through Young Liars today.

Why do people think it is a good comic? Can someone give me the run down? I'm less looking for an opinion fight and more trying to figure out if I missed something.

Yeah. I didn't get it either. Everyone seemed horrible.

Everyone being horrible bothered me less than the fact that literally every major plot point hinged on a surprise sex.

Also Lapham basically recycled a lot from Young Liars to write his Psychopath run on Crossed

So, I bought the first collected edition of fairest, and it was okay I guess? But HOLY poo poo bill willingham, there was an entire page of a bottle imp spouting about how briar rose could not, OR EVER keep up with ali baba when running away from a thing because she's a woman.

I'm sure there was other stuff in it too but I wasn't poring over the comic looking for bill willingham being...bill willingham I guess?

Not sure if this has been asked yet, but -- if I don't currently own any Sandman, would the Omnibus be a good buy?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/14...d=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Basically, will a DC/Vertigo HC of ~1000 pages fall apart? Reading will be reasonably careful and occasional, but that's a BIG book.

I'm told that the Complete Invisibles is fairly solid, and that's over 1500 pages.

I realize that this is an old post to be responding to, but you do know that Shelley Bond is Karen's replacement, right? That was announced last December.

So, when I bought fairest, I also bought jack of fable's and...I don't know maybe having read the great fables crossover already kinda ruined it or something, but even beyond that I can't seem to tolerate jack, he's just such a giant dick.
