Instead of starting a new thread every time there is an announcement of a new series, news about an existing series, etc. (and watching that thread get minimal responses and fall down the page quickly to get lost in obscurity) I thought it might be a better idea to have a thread about all such things where new comics involved, that has a better chance of participation and sticking around near the top o the page where people can actually see the announcements, etc.
To start it off, several announcements concerning Jeff Lemire's current and upcoming projects...these hit the newsfeeds today but I am going to quote Jeff himself form his newsletter that appeared in my inbox this morning...
BLACK HAMMER: ENDINGS AND BEGINNINGS
As announced today in my interview with The Comics Beat, Black Hammer: Age of Doom will come to its conclusion with next months Issue #12. That will be the end of the "farm story" that Dean And I have been telling since Black Hammer #1 in 2016. But that will not be the end of Black Hammer...
Black Hammer: Age of Doom#12 is the ending I always intended for these heroes, and this story, and I am incredibly grateful to all the retailers and readers who have supported Black Hammer and allowed Dean Ormston, Dave Stewart, Todd Klein, and I to tell the story we wanted to tell on our own terms, exactly how we wanted to tell it.
But, as I said, this is not the end of Black Hammer. It's simply the end of what we consider “Phase One" of the Black Hammer Universe.
In the coming months we will announce a number of new Black Hammer comics. This will be the start of "Phase II" of the BHU, and the new books will feature both familiar characters we’ve come to love, and also brand new heroes.
And I am also excited to announce that, as the flagship book of "Phase II" Dean Ormston and I will be creating a new core series featuring Lucy Weber as the all new Black Hammer for 2020.
So keep an eye out for lots of new Black Hammer announcements in the comings weeks and months.
TWO NEW DC BLACK LABEL BOOKS!
Also announced today, the two projects I have been working on for DC's Black Label imprint; THE JOKER: KILLER SMILE with my Gideon Falls, Green Arrow and Old Man Logan collaborator, Andrea Sorrentino and THE QUESTION: THE DEATHS OF VIC SAGE with the art team from the Question's acclaimed run in the 80's and 90's Denys Cowans and Bill Seinkewicz!
Here's previews of the covers of the 2 Black Label books...
I am in on the Question book. I normally would pass on a Joker book, but I really dig what Lemire and Sorrentino produce as a collaborative team so I might give this a look.
