Anybody else planning to get this next month?
(Or do people already have the original printings / collections from other publishers?)

[thwhtGuardian]

I have the originals and I loved them, I wonder what it'll look like in color so I might pick up the first issue at least.

[middenway]

I missed this one the first time around, so I'm very happy about the rerelease. No surprise, Dave Stewart's colours look fantastic.

Yeah, I loved that the pallet was subtle and muted so it still kept the feel of the black and white art.

I remember this book being wildly divisive when it came out, and honestly I think that was because in 1999 Mignola hadn't done a project where he didn't do the art so I think a lot of the push back came from the fact that he only did the covers. Now that him doing art duty is more the exception rather than the rule I wonder if more people will be more open to the book.

What you say about art duties isn't true, if you note for instance 'Zombieworld: Champions of the Worms' in 1997, or the 'Abe Sapien: Drums of the Dead' titular story from 1998, featuring other talents on the interiors (or even another writer too for the latter). Also the beautiful 'Hellboy Junior' as well as 'Rusty Razorclam: President of Neptune' appear joint projects with close collaborators which precede 'Jenny Finn'.
Not to mention how before Hellboy mr Mike will have made quite a name for himself with doing things from covers to part interiors to (full color) illustrations, or inking only, or pencils (usually), except writing (not nearly as much).

The thing about 'Jenny Finn' I feel to remember is that somehow it got stalled or remained not published fully for years, since it started coming out through Oni Press in 1999, yet getting finalized in two parts, first through Atomeka Press in 2006 and then Boom Studios in 2011 if I recall correctly.
Not a rewarding reading experience having to assume a title isn't going to be concluded, although I couldn't be too sure how any of it had been going down, since in the early 2000's I could hardly find access to such information other than perhaps Ask.Jeeves.com...

Great title nonetheless, and I'm looking forward to reading it in Dave Stewarts' colors!
(Although now I'm wondering who colored the covers for the earlier editions. Gonna have to check that.)

I was not aware of this when it first came out.
It is wonderfully creepy and I am looking forward to the next issue.

I had forgotten about Zombie world, but the point still stands with Drums of the Dead as when that came out most said that if it weren't for the back up story,"Heads", by Mignola they would have skipped the issue and because it was neither written by nor drawn by Mignola I didn't feel the need to mention it above.

Jenny Finn #2

Issue #2 is due out this week.

[timbolton]

So... Jenny Finn, part of the Hellboy universe? I've always had a feeling this one may not be a standalone.
Lots of talk about things that we know are linked to Abe in the Hellboy universe, especially in issue 3, could this comic be tied in? Especially now it is back on comic stands.

[Kirby101]

Final issue came to a tragic and dramatic if slightly gross conclusion. The Change in artists wasn't jarring, but it looks rushed at times (probably a deadline problem) and it would have been better if Nixey could have finished it up.
Still all and all an enjoyable, but creepy series.
