I see GI Joe 301 (by Hama) is being published by Image. So is that going to be the same continuity or separate to Skybound's Joe stuff?

Existing continuity, separate from the Skybound Energon Universe stuff

The RAH one is rather impressive in terms of issues that it has put out over its various publishers. 300 issues, continous narrative seems pretty good for a kids toy book all told.

Especially when Hama makes it up as he goes!

No thanks.

Ooh nice. I started reading those last year when we reached forty years of that merger, but I couldn't keep it up alongside doing 40 years of 2000AD and Eagle as well. Nice books would be great, but they sound expensive.

Those strips are before my time (I came in with Marvel UK Action Force). I am generally aware of them but never read so this is up my street if the price point is ok.

What I read wasn't brilliant; the strips aren't in the same class as the Battle originals of that point like Major Eazy, Johnny Red and D-Day Dawson, but they were readable. I don't know later down the line if there's any attempt to form some cohesion between them, but only one of them was the 'Action Force versus Ironblood' you'd want. The others didn't feel like they were in the same world.

I'm tempted by these I must admit. This was "my" Action Force when I was a kid, with the Flint led team "the now lot". I have a soft spot for some of them - the "SAS Force partol in trouble in the Scottish Highlands" one particularly sticks in my mind. I'd agree that they were not the best material in Battle in that period, but they were generally pretty solid. (And to be honest the sense that they didn't feel like they belonged in the same world is...arguably true to the toy-line - Z-Force and SAS Force with mostly real-world military gear was one thing, Q-Force's aesthetic made them feel they were post-Stingray W.A.S.P forces, and Space Force literally as well as figuratively didn't belong on the same world...  ) Karl |

If there's an opportunity to revist and repair the damage done by the Digikore "remastering" I hope they take it. I can see me getting these, big slabs of reprints are absolutely my wheelhouse.

Yep. The Kickstarter is the only way to get the HCs, which I believe are also printed on higher quality paper.
Just realised I sold all but volume one of my IDW HCs (which they made such a mess of) last year for more than the value of this Kickstarter, so that's looking like fortuitous timing.

I take a dim view of HC's with better paper only being available via a limited time crowdfunding campaign. I'm not sure that's how publishing usually works.

I have some sympathy for it as it's a long run, and I can imagine diminishing sales after the first volume jeopardising later volumes being released in the same format.
I don't know the story behind the IDW HC volumes petering out the way they did but I imagine this being a big factor, and I've been burnt by other series starting out in HC and then switching to TPB for later volumes (and often not even making it to the end of a run).

I'm not sure Skybound has much interest anyway in republishing other people's stuff and I suspect they've been taken by surprise here by what the demand is for Omnibus style volumes - that funding percentage speaks volumes

I just can't be fucked with publishers pulling this kind of crap, unless they are small press.

I'm not sure Skybound has much interest anyway in republishing other people's stuff and I suspect they've been taken by surprise here by what the demand is for Omnibus style volumes - that funding percentage speaks volumes IDW held the licenses for GI Joe and Transformers for a long time and badly under-served us for (good) collected editions of the classic comics, so I think there's a real demand for this now. I was not the only person on the internet who reacted to IDW losing the license by wondering out loud if that could mean we finally get some good collections! The best thing IDW did was UK Classics, where the content was exceptional but the quality otherwise really wasn't there. A crowdfunder is ideal for that kind of more niche content, even where a big publisher is involved. Imagine finally getting UK Classics completed but in volumes that present the material at its best! |
