Apparently sometime next spring they'll start reprinting volumes 1 & 2 of Casanovain 32 p. collections, with full color. With 2 new one-offs to fill things out. And then, I guess in 2011, volume 3 will begin.
Still all a long way off, but I needed some good news to get me through the rest of this week, so: yay.
My pusher has been telling me to read
Casanova
for ages.
You should. It has a giant robot. And regular sized robots. And AUs, and time travel, and evil twins, and plot twists, and love, and betrayal, and recipes, and spoilers, in plain sight, and sexy times.
And some Pynchon.
Glamcookie! I just discovered they're releasing a
Powers Encyclopedia
this week! It looks pretty cool, and it's only five goddamn bucks. I assume it won't be collected in a later trade since it's 64 pages all on its own. But even if it is, I need it to refresh my memory on everyone because...
Next week,
Powers
relaunches! Although...without Deena? That can't be right. I'm sure she'll be back eventually, but I guess she was sort of in exile at the end of the last issue, after all.
Also, the
Dr. Horrible
one-shot is out this week. I will actually be buying things at my comic book store!
Nice article about the DH's Uncle Joe in the NYT today: [link]
A lovely man.
I was going to ask you if you saw that, Scrappy.
Be sure to check out the slideshow: [link]
Powers Encyclopedia
So cool! I'm sure DW has it on order, but will check with her just in case. Love me some
Powers.
Dr. Horrible one-shot
Looking forward to that, too! And a shameless link to a Dr. Horrible sketch DW got at Comic-Con from the artist who did the comic: [link]
Neat! I got a signed DH promo card from her.
I'm sure DW has it on order, but will check with her just in case.
Yeah, I don't know if they would include that in a regular subscription. I'm looking forward to checking it out.
Love me some Powers.
The encyclopedia looks pretty frickin' sweet! There are ten pages on Christian Walker. TEN PAGES. It's super fucking detailed, which is great. I look forward to reading it. Too bad it's not actually written by Bendis, though.
I enjoyed the DH one-shot. Moist got some good lines, and I could hear Nathan's voice in my head with every Captain Hammer line. It's a very amusing read.
My store didn't have the second variant cover, unfortunately, but I did get the first variant, which is a very clever design.
