This may be the last of my comic gab bags, due to low reader ship and the time it takes to pull the info together. Check back next year to see.....
leaking out of Marvel are tales that 2007 will be a major year for Captain America. I understand that events in his title will make the Spider-Man unmasking look like breakfast with Aunt May.
I’m a huge fan of the Brubaker/Epting run on Cap, and am really happy to hear it will be getting its time in the spotlight next year.
Just for TheAL
Long-time fans of the Buffy the vampire slayer TV series have been buzzing about Joss Whedon “releasing” Season 8 as a Dark Horse comic in early 2007. Fans of the franchise will also be pleased to know that Buffy Season 8 will feature stories by noted comic book scribes Brian K. Vaughan, Brad Meltzer, and Jeph Loeb.
Amazons Attack is only one of four major mini series coming out from DC next year after 52 is completed. Some creators that have been attached to the 3 other minis (each will deal with a different facet of the DCU – much like the 4 mini series that served as a prelude to Infinite Crisis) include Greg Rucka, Kurt Busiek, and Judd Winick.
I hope this ends up better than Atlanis Attacks, that just left crabs in every ones shorts.
X-Men #200 by Mike Carey will be the centerpiece of a massive X-Universe crossover between all the X-titles and will see the return of classic X-men antagonist, Mr. Sinister.
This ones for The PAT!!!
Okay, I'm not sure how much faith to put in this, the source isn't exactly the strongest one, but I've run weaker stories before. Though some may debate that.
I'm told that a UK comics publisher will be publishing a Harry Potter comic book strip to run between the 6th and 7th book. It's meant to look like an old Tiger-style comic book and it will be published a month before the 7th novel.
If so, that's the biggest selling comic of 2007 already in the bag.
If it is indeed so.
Many years in the makeing.......
Dan Didio, in his Newsarama interview last week: "Everyone's looking for a deep conspiracy theory about why Marvel and DC don't do crossovers anymore, and there really isn't one. They just don't make sense. If Marvel and DC are doing crossovers as a large part of their output and endeavors, then we're both failing, because we're not driving people to our own characters and our own stories. We're just out of ideas."
But back in Chicago in 2004, DC representatives had a different view on the proposed "Batman/Daredevil" by Brian Bendis crossover that Dan DiDio touched on: "The impression I have is that we expressed an interest in it, and that Brian would be involved... and we'll do it, as soon as Joe (Quesada) is not at Marvel anymore… We're down to one person we want to see gone from Marvel, there used to be two… If you could speed up getting him out the door..."
OK, maybe the thinking has changed since 2004, though it doesn't bring us any closer to a DC/Marvel cross-over.
