Hey gang, I have another announcement to make. Something new we will be trying out in 2013.
AOM will kickstart our first fulltime monthly original series for the EXTRA line, an anthology at that.
Marvell2100 will be handling point on this book and can further explain the concept but it should give us a brand new vehicle to tell original stories (with a Sci Fi twist) outside regular continuity and our featured brands.

Multiple stories each month in one book. Rotating plotters, characters, creators, storylines, etc.
40 pages for $4.50

Marv' - feel free to expand on the details and what you are looking for.
This should be very cool.

[marvell2100]

Thank you Honorable One.

Beginning in January, AoM will unveil a new monthly anthology series under the AoM Extra banner titled Sci-Fi Line Presents Epic Illustrated! This is a series for old and new plotters alike to tell stories in or out of AoM continuity using AoM characters or their own newly created characters. It can be fantasy, sword and sorcery, cosmic, horror, etc but it must have a sci-fi twist as GH mentioned. Each issue will contain two 20 page stories using the creators of your choice as long as it's approved by the EIC and does not conflict with any other title in AoM. Stories can range from a one-shot to a 12 issues maxi-series. I will be editor of this title so for anyone interested submit your plot ideas to me.

I think that this is a great opportunity to get new blood involved in AoM as well as allowing some of our senior plotters to tell stories that they maybe can't fit into our other lines. I hope that this is something that everyone will participate in and make it a great read for all. If you have any questions, please PM me and I'll be happy to answer.

We are almost ready to fill out our creative teams for the new year. Waiting on final Pulp choices from Roland and then you guys/gals can send me your wanted lists and we'll get the ball rolling. I will post a master list of available creators here on the bullpen thread to give you some ideas and options.

We will be seeing some new titles in 2013:
JUSTICE & FIRESTAR (finally seeing this happen, mattbib should be proud)
BLOODSTONE (everyone's favorite slayer with an attitude gets her own solo)
FUTURE FOUNDATION (Hickman's FF may have ended but the adventures of the Franktastic Four live on here at AOM)
.....and more!

[mcgaffer]

Been thinking some more on the AOM/NEW DAWN crossover, plenty of great stories for the likes of Doom & the Cabal, Eternals, Midnight Sons, Cloak & Dagger. But I've started thinking seriously about Roland Deschain vs. Deadshot.

[Global Honored]

Here is a helpful list of available creators, some we have used before in AOM and others we haven't. You do not have to pick strictly from this list. It is just to give you some ideas. I will try to update when creators are made available or are gobbled up.

Editors, PM me your "wishlists" of the top writers and artists you want to use for your line. You dont need to assign them to a specific title just yet. You can choose that later.
To play it safe, please select at least 7 writers you want, ranked in order. The more, the better.
And at least 10 artist choices. Again, the more the better. Whichever line ranks them higher will have higher priority in case multiple lines want the same creator(s).
