While I'd much rather dedicate my comments to going "YAY YAY YAY!!!" over all my newfound mutant excitement, but instead I thought I'd point this out:
---------------
DOC SAMSON #1 (of 5)
Written by PAUL DI FILIPPO
Penciled by FABRIZIO FIORENTINO
Cover by DANIEL ACUNA
FIRST ISSUE! Busting out from the pages of THE INCREDIBLE HULK, Doc Samson gets his first mini-series! Join the green-haired adventurer as he solves problems with psychoanalytical tactics and good ol' fashioned whuppins! In this first issue, see the good doctor provide therapy for wayward aliens, consult mystic art masters and battle living totem poles! Coming to you from the boundless mind of Paul Di Filipo (Top Ten)!
32 PGS./T+ SUGGESTED FOR TEENS AND UP ...$2.99
---------------
Much like Augie's nit-pickery of the Alan Moore DCU listing, I just wanted to harp that this is certainly NOT The first mini-series for Doc Samson. And seriously, I'm sure even the simplest Google search could have cleared that question up. It should just be a rule that unless you're ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that what you claim is the first of anything, maybe do a quick check just to make sure you're not making yourself look like an idiot.
Leonard had a 4 issue mini called--go figure--DOC SAMSON in 1996. It was drawn by former Excalibur/10th Muse artist Ken Lashley and written by, of all people, current She-Hulk writer Dan Slott!
THAT was his FIRST mini-series.
Now, if they had wanted to say "his first mini series in 10 years" that would've been fine.
Rant over!
