Indie Pull List - Week of June 10th, 2015


For no overwhelming reason I'm making Return of the Gremlins from Dark Horse my Hardcover Highlight this week. I've always wondered why the franchise hasn't been revived in this Golden Age of remakes, re imaginings and just plain rehashes.


And then I saw that.... Apparently I'm way off base.  And this is a re-issue of material from 7 years ago?  Ok, ok, was I totally crazy to assume that Dark Horse would be involved with the Stevey Spielberg produced/Joey Dante directed gem of the 80's?  I don't think I was.  And now I wonder if anybodies done that.... Doesn't look like it actually.  I wonder why?

All of this information is suggested. Sometimes books get delayed, sometimes they get cancelled all together. Most of the time the trades will be available. Prices are also suggested and subject to change at the discretion of the shop owner or the publisher themselves.

And hey, if you like what I'm doing tell your friends!  Give me a link, name drop me, plus 1 the posts on Google+ - it all helps.  And if you REALLY like me, (doubtful), then follow me on Twitter @TiberiusTaylor or just click this LINK.  Also, I started a Facebook group for those of us who aren't in to Twitter.  Thanks to everyone who does read, it means a lot - here's a bonus image to get you all fired up!





Classic G.I. JOE Vol. 16  




This is another series that's got the Classic label and is on the 16th volume.  At what point does something stop being classic?  The Deadpool volume that perplexed me was printing stories that were only 2 or 3 years old as "classic".  IDW has all ready done an 8 volume "best of", a 1 volume "omnibus and a 7 volume "complete collection".  What would the difference be?  The "classic" series was being printed the whole time these other collections were being offered up.  Why overlap so much?  The "classic" line DID start out publishing the old mid-80's books from Marvel but it's now catching up to more modern material from roughly 5 years ago.  So, I'll paraphrase a little and ask, at won't point does something START being classic?  Maybe the time it's published doesn't matter.  Being that this volume is written by one of the original authors of the Marvel books maybe "modern classic" would be valid...

ODY-C Vol. 1


This is called a "Psychedelic Sci-Fi" retelling of Homer's The Odyssey.  The main character is now a girl named Odyssia.  She's the captain, it sounds like, of a crew trying to find their way home after the end of a one hundred year galactic war.   I read some of Matt Fraction's run on Invincible Iron Man just after the first movie came out and he was a solid writer. The art might take some getting used to but this sounds interesting and at only $10 could be worth the risk.
