I'm starting to get confused with Image's solicits. Everywhere I've saw Nathan Edmondson or Raffaele Ienco Speak about Dancer and Epic kill respectively, I've seen them refered to as mini's. Conversely I've saw Kurtis Wiebe speaking sbout multiple arcs of Peter Panzerfaust and its certainly been refered to as an ongoing in multiple places. However, here there's no indication that the first two are mini's and now PP is 4..of 5. I'm actually more likely to buy more of these books if they are doing the series of series model because I can grab two series that add up to what a regular series does in a year, or close enough I can justify two books instead of one. I don't like how unclear it is, and as an obsessive over $, I find it offputting I can't plan this stuff effectively.

I was going to criticize how emotionless Song looks in the Epic Kill preview, then I remembered that that's the point, and now I'm in love.

As I said in the other thread, this # 1s all look great. May is going to be a good month.

Peter Panzerfaust is meant to be told in arcs, so The Great Escape is 5 issues. After Green Wake was canceled, we approached PP a bit more cautiously, waiting to see if our sales would warrant another arc.

Looking likely.

^ glad to hear.


man, I was hoping we'd get actual Walking Dead covers instead of the teasers we'd already seen. oh well, two issues in a month? yeah!

I'm trying to figure out how they arrived at issue 71.
Is that just a randomly assigned number?

Are you referring to Youngblood? The numbering is supposed to pick up from where the series previously left off. But they've included certainly mini series in the numbering but not others from what I've heard so it does get a bit confusing. But it's not random and the thought is to pick up where it left off. They did the same with Prophet and Glory as well.

I really wish Hickman would do an interview about Secret. Hickman's name is enough for me to sign on, but it'd be nice to have a little better of an idea of what kind of book this is going to be. The solicitation text has been a too wild and all over the place to get a firm grasp of.
