Death Ray Magazine - Oct. 2009

sg
New Article! Treasury Friend Warren Bixby sent me a mid-point review of Wednesday Comics that appeared in the Oct.2009 issue of Death Ray magazine. Thanks Warren!

Wednesday Comics
definitely got more attention in the greater media than most other comics "events", but this article was one the largest and complete I've seen. Nice to see such a worthy project gets its due, even if the review is a little on the negative side.


I'd love to see if Death Ray follows up with a second piece, now that Wednersday Comics has concluded. Click the graphic to read the piece.

Wednesday Comics Collected

sg
News! DC Comics revealed yesterday that Wednesday Comics will be collected as an 11x17" hardcover edition, retailing for $49.99. No release date yet.

That price point is a little...well, pricey, but I guess that's to be expected, when you're talking about a book this big. And I'm thrilled that DC is preserving the giant-size format of the series...Wednesday Comics just would not have worked squeezed down into standard comic book size.

If I may indulge myself for a second, it'd be cool if DC could simultaneously release a softcover, printed-on-newsprint version in the classic 10x13" treasury format that could be a cheaper alternative to the $50 version. I bought multiple copies of every issue of the series for various nieces and nephews, but at $50 a pop I'm only getting one for myself.

Thanks to Treasury Friend Mark Perez for the tip!

New Ads! Courtesy Treasury Friend Warren Bixby come a whole bunch of treasury ads from Marvel UK's line of weekly titles.

Like the ones we ran before, the color ads ran on the back covers, with the interiors being black and white.

I absolutely love seeing stuff like this (and that top most ad makes me wish Marvel had done that line of literary adaptations at treasury size)--thanks Warren!
