Hi, Folks:
Item: Tonight, I got my copy of the extended cut “Watchmen” DVD. Very exciting. I’ll report on the quality and quantity of the extra features as I explore them.
Item: Soon, “Johnny Saturn” 1 through 9 will be available on Panelfly, a service that goes through iTunes and reads on iPhones. I’m not positive when they will be available, because I really don’t know how much work goes into formatting it, but I’ll let you know as soon as I know.
Item: I’m still waiting on my ISSN numbers from the Library of Congress, because once I get them I’ll bring the “Johnny Saturn” series back into print, selling through Comics Monkey and Indy Planet. These new printings are updated, including all the corrections and modifications that went into producing the trade paperback.
Item: “Johnny Saturn” 1 through 9 and the Pinup Gallery are all now available on ComicsXP! These are available in CBR or CBZ formats, and ComicsXP has a reader of their own, as well.
Item: I’m reading the new “Captain America” trade paperback, the “Road to Reborn.” Honestly, I’m not sure superhero comics can get better than this. I really like Bucky as Captain America. I know Steve Rogers is coming back (he may already be back in the monthlies, for all I know), but Marvel had the golden opportunity for a changing of the guard—In effect, they could leave Steve Rogers dead, and Bucky could remain Captain America. I’ve come to the same conclusion about Batman: Leave Dick Grayson as Batman, and leave Bruce Wayne dead. I love the characters of Steve Rogers and Bruce Wayne, but the chance to really refresh and recharge the franchises seems like such a great opportunity.
