Not to mention: A new Buffy season 8 TPB. Hey, it's a big news for me, I collect this serie only in paperback (cause I started this summer. I'm not very a punctual geek)
I have to say that I'm interested to see what Peter and Max will be like; the idea of a Fables prose novel intrigues me.
If you don't really want to pick up the Fables reissue, there's a preview of Peter and Max at that link above in PDF format. The look reminds me of an L. Frank Baum book, which is just one more reason to be excited.
As an aside, why hyperlink to tags for things where the only result for the tag is the one story it appears in?
@tk.: Thanks for the link! I have to say, I am VERY impressed by how many good stories Bill Willingham's come up with so far, and he certainly doesn't seem to be drying up yet. I never would've guessed I would become such a huge fan of his based on his pre-Fables work.
@van_line: It's a fun idea with some real talent behind it. I thought all the stories were good and the layout was cool. However, the $4 price tag, especially for a newspaper, is not going to bring in any new readers. It might even scare away a bunch.
So will I buy it? Sure, I liked it a lot. I just think it'd of been better served being a supplemental in USA today or whatever. Something to promote how comics aren't "BiFF ZAP", which we all know haven't been for years, but the mass population doesn't. Show the real talent behind these characters.
In my opinion, Wednesday Comics could be for new fans what the Ultimate Universe did for Spiderman around the time of the first movie. It could have been that catalyst, but as it is, it's a $4 newspaper with some serious talent on it.
