I can't stop staring at the Paul Pope cover and I'm hoping the interiors have the same effect on me as well. This book is going to be awesome.

( for once). This book looks great and maybe some Marvel zombies (pardon the pun) will get into some of the indie guys / girls from this. I have found as you get older and really start to love the art form of comics, you can't help getting into the indie stuff both old and new. I can see how people at first would not be into these guys and or their styles, in my younger years, I would not of liked someone like Paul Pope or Jason. Then again I liked Liefield when I was 14, so things change, sometimes for the better. BTW.. Jason's Spider-Man makes me wish for a Spider-Ham issue done by my favorite Norwegian cartoonist.

I don't understand why they'd solicit this monthly though as it pretty much IS the direct equivalent of DC's "Bizarro" anthologies... But hey, at least they're giving fans more content for that 3.99 price tag... I tell you what'd be interesting to try with this book given the whole "Pure Comics Fan" (in which case, superheroes are read, but aren't the only game in town and are strongly read by preference of creator) vs "Marvel Drone" (you can't even call them Marvel Zombies anymore...Ugh...) dynamic this brings to mind. Put a "Dark Reign" logo on the cover and see what happens sales-wise. I can almost guarantee some of these drones would buy every issue, but complain every step of the way just like they did with Milligan & Allred's "X-Force/Statix" (Seriously, they were getting hatemail 2 years after the fact!) run... To conclude though, this is an absolute dream cme true for all of us "Pure Comics Fans" and of course, for Bill Jemas (He's smiling somewhere).

That first book was great, and I hope this is too, though sometimes the indys can be a little too cute for their own good. I'm not a "wait for trade" kind of reader, but I do think I'd prefer this as one. It's less of a response to Wednesday Comics than it is to Bizzaro Comics.

But it's a bit much for me to get all three issues blindly. I'll trade wait for this one and hope Marvel doesn't take it personally.

I think this one sounds awesome, and the fact that it gives me something to look forward to around the time Wednesday Comics (another book I am very much looking forward to) will be ending is just a nice little bonus. It does of course remind me of Bizarro Comics, as well as the underground Coober Skeeber Marvel benefit book, but that's also fine with me because I loved those as well.
