As far as I can tell, none of Bad Idea's books are meant to be in a shared universe. (I could be wrong, but that's the feeling I get from the descriptions of the books we know about so far.) So in that way, I don't think Defiant is going to be a proper analogy. My feeling is that this new line of books is going to be much more similar to current Image comics (again, from a company with connections to television and movie productions)

FWIW, if you look at the Bloodshot DVD bonus features, Dinesh gets a lot of interview time and comes across as a player in Hollywood.

he's also a boardie with an amazing OA collection

just in general, House of M was a great story.

Speaking of Milestone...is anyone familiar with the Xombi title? Was it any good? I ask because looks like DC did a mini series of it in 2011 (same year Static Shock came out). Wonder why DC didn't reboot the whole Milestone line.

Xombi 2011 was my favorite non-Batman New DC 52 book. I think it was intended to be ongoing but didn't make it.

recalledcomics.com is a good resource for which books to look out for and a fun site to look thru, but I would put little stock in in some of it's ratings. For example I have found so many of the Wolverine 131 recalled book (that the site rates as very low distribution) in the wild that I quit buying them.

in your defense, the store was the first thing that popped in my mind too

Not sure if anyone else here is a gamer, but the new ghost of Tsushima game draws a lot of elements from Usagi.  The main character is named Sakai. The director was a huge fan of the comic. 

 

Pretty cool.  May also be increasing the interest in the series because the game has the highest user metacritic score ever for ps4. 9.3 or something

I follow John Layman (Chew, Outer Darkness) on Twitter and he's been raving about Ghost of Tsushima the past week.

Still the book is heating up, and that’s the fact. Reporting on that and only answering as to why with my best guess given what information I have? So it was best I didn’t say anything, period.

Felt like this book would make a good show when it came out. The fact that it's a twist on the typical virus story may work in it's favor. Either that or people will be sick of the hundreds of virus stories bound to be showing whenever it comes out

I appreciate you guys posting this info

Best comic story I’ve read since Watchmen/Dark Knight Returns/Kingdom Come fare. Though his Batman was weak and hi Omega Men was mediocre. I haven’t read Mister Miracle yet which is supposed to be good.

At the time I was reading MM I thought it was over-rated based on the hype, but in retrospect it had quite a few memorable moments and portrayed Scott and Barda's relationship in a way that is relatable. That being said (and keeping in the spirit if the thread), I don't see King's MM mini-series being part of DC continuity due to events in the books.

But I still like Vision better.

The article I read said a Canadian TV Network bought the rights to it. Didnt think it was in development yet.

Either way, its a good series and would work well for TV.

Hmmm... article says both "being adapted" and "picked up rights" which, as I understand it, are 2 separate things.... but both could happen simultaneously, perhaps? I remember that it was optioned a few years ago (article mentions this) so option must have expired and it was purchased by the Canadian company.

See it all the time

 We had boarding years ago buy over 500 copies of black acre 1 I think.

I remember that. I sent him my copies free of charge, shipping costs only; I did not care for the series.

That cover looks way better before colored. Normally I prefer colored. Anyone mention old guard? I just heard about the show. Books been selling like crazy since may 5th. 

A trailer for Old Guard was just released this week with a release date (July 10th)

edit: just saw the trailer... well done. Looks better than the comic.

Nice! I saw Rob post this on Twitter and thought it was awesome... congrats!

My comic sales have slowed dramatically, but my DVD sales have taken off, especially TV series or non-streaming movies (just sold the Rodgers & Hammerstein collection that has been sitting in my store for a few months, for example).

Maybe not quite what you're looking for, but I thought Surgeon X was well written. It's about an 'underground' surgeon solving a murder in a time after a pandemic has caused marshal law and medical supply shortages.

Image has a new series called "The Clock" that is about fighting a global pandemic conspiracy. They're only 2 issues in right now but so far I like it. 

sounds very timley

Now Locke & Key on the other hand looked very good. Been on my list for awhile but haven’t pulled  the trigger. 

I agree, Locke & Key trailer looks really good. But I imagine Joe Hill is a creator that you would want to keep happy for access to future projects.

October Faction 1 had been doing well before the Netflix release, but has jumped in price the last few days.
