[CBR News]

I'm interested in DV8, the rest of Astro City: The Dark Age once it's been collected and Wolfman's "God of War". Though I'm not big into videogames at all (I prefer to enjoy my franchises in comic books) I can always go back and get the first game, if the mood strikes, and I want that multimedia experience. I'd also be very interested to read some current Marv Wolfman work.

It's a shame that Wildstorm didn't have much of a showing at their panel. They have some good characters over there. Hopefully, with all this good material coming out, word will spread and the Imprint will rebound.

I was looking forward to some new stuff being announced but the article was good.

Its really sad but the numbers on both the Authority and Wildcats has been abysmal which makes little sense as both series are the best they have been in years.

Is it really that much of a surprise? Wildstorm has been dying a slow death for awhile now, no matter how many relaunches they do. I'm surprised they even HAD a panel...

I liked the improvised vampire question, actually!

Looking forward to catching up with the present-day Astro City again, plus more Welcome to Tranquility.

It's true the imprint has been dying for a while now. Saleswise. But since the first issue of Wildcats in the Image years, they have been publishing great and original comic ideas and, well, sme up and downs, but really, great comics Universe. It's just that their Mythos is not well-known to the general public. And Wolrd's end is fantastic. They could never do that in the Marvel U (and I don't know about the DC U because I've never been interested in these books). But in the Wildstorm U, they can do anything. The Universe is now so coherent and shared between the books. And the stories are just greats.

Yes, unfortunately they've angered a lot of fans during those down times but I'm hoping as people see they're a realiable studio again, they'll start to come back.
