King Comics - Flash Gordon, Mandrake, Phantom- Defenders of the Earth Appreciation

[Drz]

I really enjoyed King's Watch comic, is it okay to discuss Hermes Press' Phantom stuff over this topic or do we wanna keep it Dynamite?

May as well since they don't have much original material coming out.
And technically... he is a Kings Feature character.

I think we should be able to converse about all of King Features' adventure heroes, whether in strips, comics or other media (such as the cartoon series).
Besides, the way licensed characters go, they won't be with Dynamite forever.
However, I do hope they stay for a long while.

What makes you say FG is returning to ongoing after the King minis?

Being the most popular of the five and already having two previous series (the lest one generating a lot of buzz), it's a safe bet there will be a new series for Gordon after King Comics ends.
Providing they still have the license.

It's also possible that one other may spin out of it, too.
If Legenderry is any indication.

I wanted to check these out, but my comic book store would not order. They really have something against the indies I guess.

Hope you manage to find them.
I'll probably go digital, myself.

Any option to go elsewhere if your shop won't at least order a book you want?
(Or are you only interested in looking it over first?)

Sigh...
Not. This. Too!?!?

Is it my imagination or did Flash Gordon not come out today?

Btw... Happy 81st Birthday, Flash!

[Lee Stone]

Confirmed...
Flash Gordon #1 has been delayed from 1/7 to 1/21.

I'm finally catching up on Parker's Flash Gordon, and I'm really sad that it's ending. He really seems to excel when he's working on work rooted in pulp adventures.

Shaner's art is great as well. I think this may have been my first time actually seeing art sequentially, and he's mad talented.

Dude, it's Dynamite . . . did you actually expect them to keep to a schedule?!?

Well they keep schedule for some of their stuff, Vampirella has always been on time I believe. I wonder why their superhero stuff keeps having problems.

[Ceebiro]

It really is a shame that Parker/Shaner's Flash Gordon came to an end this week. It really was well-crafted, and a solid foundation to build from.

Red Sonja has also been seriously suffering scheduling problems, so it's not just the superhero titles.

Ah, I don't pick up that series, I was starting to thing Dynamite hero stuff was cursed haha. Thanks for the info.

Just finished Jeff Parkers Flash Gordon. Man, that was good comics. Im really gonna miss this book.

Still, all the Kings Features Minis look great so far. Hopefully theyre a worthy follow up.

I am so upset that they ended Flash Gordon, to put *this* out. How the hell do you take a series about a spacefaring swashbuckler, with the best art in comics, and great writing, and make it a god damned miniseries?!?! I had the same problem with Starlight, tho to a lesser extent. So upset.
