Likewise, I'm waiting (and hoping) for the release of a second oversized hardcover.

Except when it's not Frank Quitely, because Quitely can't draw a monthly series.

Pretty inaccurate summary. Marvel claimed the lapsed trademark to "Captain Marvel" after Fawcett had ceased publishing it but before DC bought the Fawcett character. Any company can technically call their own character Captain Marvel as long as it is distinct enough to not be copyright infringement. They just can't…

And Binder even wrote a ton of Silver Age Superman.

Jordie Bellaire seems to be in pretty high demand though. Wasn't there a month last year where she coloured something like 20 books?

Those things are indeed beautiful. I have both Criminal HCs, the Incognito, and the first Fatale HC now. I just need to get myself to splurge on the Sleeper one and I'll be set.

I really like the idea of the exclusive backmatter and the Phillips pin-up art of classic crime movies, but I find all the Nevins essays really dull. I've checked out most of the ones from Incognito and some of the Criminal ones, and have found them light on analysis and heavy on summary. Of the, "and then there was…

Amazon says the first HC is out December 2 and has 18 issues.

Nice! I pre-ordered that EC Comics slipcase at the end of April, but it hasn't shipped yet.

Not to be too much of a stickler, but Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Skyfall came out a year apart. Which I remember because I saw the former in London in October 2011 and the latter in Seoul in November 2012. Which makes me sound like more of a jetsetter than I am.

I hated The Flashpoint Paradox. The only DC Animated movie I've hated more was Justice League: War. Flashpoint was just humourless and needlessly violent. And Flash as the protagonist was so boring that the movie got tired of him and focused more on the alternate universe Thomas Wayne Batman.

All of the Starman stuff has blurred together for me, since it's been a couple of years since I read my omnibuses, and I read them as they were released. Definitely, in need of a reread. I think I know where the half-point was though, and if the third is the last one with Tony Harris as the regular artist, maybe the…

When was Kang ever Reed Richards' dad? I know they're both named Nathaniel Richards, but I thought they were never the same. Isn't Kang just a far-flung descendant of Reed Richards, and also possibly Dr. Doom?

I looked him up. William McIlvanney. The Guardian calls him "the godfather of tartan noir." I'm going to check him out sometime.

I don't even know how anyone says eSports without irony.

I used to own Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Novelization: Adapted from the screenplay to the Major Motion Picture Mary Shelley's Frankenstein based on the novel by Mary Shelley.

I couldn't get through the half-sized tin of Wasabi & Mayo Pringles I grabbed at the Tokyo airport on a layover.

Definitely. Think that dolly push through the crowd of young brokers at the end was making precisely that point.

Cooke talked a couple of years ago about expanding on the initial four book deal. Apparently, he's going to do The Handle next and wants to end on Butcher's Moon. I'm not sure if they've said how many total there is going to be.

I think it looks like a little bit of that and a little bit of moving it forward and developing something that could be a standalone Tom Hiddleston Loki movie.
