Is Hasbro in financial straits?[/QUOTE]
As a toy company Hasbro is struggling due to kids not wanting toys and stores like Wal-Mart not stocking a lot of the new toys or larger and more expensive toys like the Titan Class Transformers (18-24 inch tall TFs) and yet stores like Target will stock them if they can get them. Ordering toys from Diamond is a joke they arrive 6-12 months late if at all and the way Hasbro releases toys makes LCS owners might get one popular toy and 11 toys that no one is interested in and then has to sell at MSRP which is higher than going to stores like Wal-Mart, Target, Meijer, Amazon, and etc where you can buy them cheaper sometimes. The pandemic hasn't helped matters if anything it's made things a lot worse and do to inflation and supply chain problems the cost of toys are going up

Trve Kvlt, a five-issue miniseries written by Scott Bryan Wilson with art by Liana Kangas, introduces Marty Tarantella, a down-on-his-luck loser whose last-ditch scheme to escape a lifetime of fast-food service sets him on a collision course with a cult of violent, Devil-worshiping lunatics!

Earthdivers, an ongoing series written by Stephen Graham Jones with art by Davide Gianfelice, unites four Indigenous survivors in an apocalyptic near future as they embark on a bloody, one-way mission to save the world by traveling back in time to kill Christopher Columbus and prevent the creation of America.

Golgotha Motor Mountain, a five-issue miniseries written by Matthew Erman and Lonnie Nadler with art by Ryan Lee, is a high-octane, redneck motor massacre about two meth-cooking brothers and their attempt to make it home in one piece as all manner of cosmic alien horrors are hot on their trail.

[IMG]https://i.imgur.com/0QFVnpD.jpg?3[/IMG][/CENTER][/QUOTE]Well, nothing here to interest me.
Anybody know if these were originally planned for IDW or if they were originally going to be published elsewhere? :confused:
-
Trve Kvlt was originally done as a Kickstarter.
-
Based on the imperfect axiom of "judging a book by its cover" the titles that visually look like the content my interest me are:
The Hunger and the Dusk
EarthDivers
and possibly DeadSeas
Not saying I'm going to get any of them as I've been allowing my titles to trim down. I may soon be in danger at my LCS of not having the minimum requirement for a box.

AFAIK, my comic book store doesn't have any such minimum requirement.
These days, I'm just getting some of the Mignola/[B][FONT=Century Gothic][COLOR="#FF0000"]Hellboy[/COLOR][/FONT][/B]-related stuff[SIZE=1] (which comes out very infrequently) [/SIZE]and I recently added [B][I]Rocketeer[/I][/B][SIZE=1] (but I haven't been in to pick up issue #1 yet)[/SIZE].

^^^^
Minimum Requirement = 5 titles a month
Until the pandemic, Valiant titles covered that with no problem, they had 4-6 titles a month. They are now down to just publishing 2-3.
I'm getting Moon Knight, Ghost Rider and Silver Surfer: Rebirth.
I dropped TMNT at #125
Black Widow ended at #15
Savage Avengers ended in January at #28 (I'm mixed on getting vol.2)
I dropped ASM after the Beyond saga, just wanted to follow Ben.
Silver Surfer Rebirth ends in 6 weeks.

[QUOTE=Rimmer;5494101]I for one would love for Marvel to buy IDW. Get the G.I. Joe and Transformers licenses back, crank out some omnibuses like they're doing with Conan, etc... that would be fantastic. I think DC would just crunk things up in their current state...
I hope for them to continue on as IDW and shore things up, but like I said, if I had a vote (i obviously do NOT) my vote would be to sell to Marvel.[/QUOTE]
More than that, we could have ROM spaceknight back in the fold. Honestly considering how little Hasbro is doing with the franchise they could as well sell it.

I've read the first 2 issues and they're a blast. The art is nothing to write home about, but the dialogue and characterization and plot twists are hilarious; I've seen almost no notice of it in the comics media and I think it's a real sleeper. If you're looking for a fun comic that's outside the usual cape books and bombastic SF and fantasy (not that I don't enjoy those too), I'd recommend checking it out. A breath of fresh air.
