I then got the Image reprint series with nicely updated covers by Tony Moore. And I got the trades. And now I’ve got this beautiful hardcover too.

How has it been TWENTY FIVE YEARS?!?

In any case, I still buy everything Kirkman puts out in at least one format. The guy rules!

New arrival!

Back on the old Savage Dragon message board in 2000, @robertkirkman.bsky.social would post about his new self-published comic Battle Pope. It wasn’t easy for me to get in the UK. I managed to get Saint Michael, BP Shorts, Wrath of God and then the trades.

Seeing you draw Optimus Prime, my childhood hero, is an absolute blast!

Eddie Brock: Carnage v1 (5) & Magic Order v5 (6) for 3412 #ComicsReadIn2025

Gunn mentioned there’s a project no one knows about yet so I wonder if that’ll be linked.

Gavin @gavhigginbotham.bsky.social · 4d

Lex secretly created a device that when he was visited in prison by Flag he somehow took control or asserted influence. Now ARGUS is infiltrated by Lex’s crew and he’s gained control. And there why Flag was a dick when agents were dying in the other realms. Then… I dunno. Spitballing theories here 😂

I think a report or rumour was that Superman & Lex have to team up. Perhaps they work together to release those on Salvation? No idea. Another thing I’d heard was Peacemaker was in the sequel but no clue if that’s true

Same. Superman gets thrown in there in his sequel, gets dog-piled by an army of villains and gets saved by Peacemaker riding a dragon or some shit 😂

I’ve read none of them before so this will be an all-new treat for me

Gavin @gavhigginbotham.bsky.social · 5d

Someone posted a Facebook screenshot of him saying they were still talking on the contract so guess this jumped the gun a bit. But fingers crossed!

Gavin @gavhigginbotham.bsky.social · 5d

I feel that pain. The amount of times I’ve spent too much to complete something and then it gets a collection or reprint is a little upsetting. Ha!

This is pretty exciting!

A remember years ago that @theburnham.bsky.social pointed out that these weren’t collected.

And now they will be! 😃

Only just come out at least so should be able to grab a copy. I couldn’t believe how cheap it was for all the content. It’s 20 issues or so. Marvel are shitting out less quality collections of similar size with poorer quality and double/triple the price.

Gavin @gavhigginbotham.bsky.social · 5d

This book is THICK and was only £13. What a deal!
