Man, that THUNDER Agents preview really makes DC's loss of Spencer sting all the more. Because that's a GREAT opening.
Highly anticipated.Check out my New Blog! Just a random assortment of ideas, thoughts, and reviews!

Spencer is staying on THUNDER Agents though, which is a big plus. But agreed its a shame DC lost him to Marvel.

Wow, that was a great intro. T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents has got to be one of the best books out there now. And as much as I loved the guest artists in the past issues, Sook goes with CAFU so much better.

I'm confused. Is Tony Daniel's not on Batman anymore? It even lists his name in the solicits.

With Nick Spencer now exclusive to Marvel, he will complete his arc on Thunder Agents, and then DC editorial is still thinking about what to do with the book after that.

that's crappy news. i was holding on to hope that spencer could give us a decent run on this book. with the way sales already are, i bet dc puts this book in the dumps. it's a shame too, because it's been excellent.

It's one of those books that is the rarest of things; It's got a strong, unique voice. It has something to SAY. Originally Posted by weeks

Not necessarily preaching, because I don't think that's what Thunder Agents is about, but it's saying a lot of different things about a lot of different things. And I really like that. And I'm going to miss it.
Kudos to Marvel, though.Last edited by Paul Newell; 04-02-2011 at 08:14 PM.

Thunder Agents looks great. I'm a big fan of the original Thunder Agents but I decided to pass up on the relaunch because I'm too gun-shy about buying things that I'm sure will just get canceled in no time at all. It hurts too much! lol
Anybody know how its doing sales-wise? I'm hoping it will surprise and I can pick up the trade...
EDIT: I missed Weeks' post, I guess it's not doing so well. Predictable but sad.Last edited by Fatguy; 04-03-2011 at 05:00 PM.

Although it'd make no sense continuity-wise, they could move it to Vertigo...? I presume the quota for sales under the Vertigo label is much lower. Originally Posted by weeks
