"The Fade Out" Ends, "Spawn" Takes on Satan & More in Image Comics' December 2015 Solicitations

[Noodle]

Yes Vaughan was very upfront in interviews that it was a 6-issue series. He did mention they may come back to it in the future, but who knows.

Not sure how I completely missed that. Good to know. Thanks.

Huh, very little in the way of new stuff in December. I'm sad to see The Fade Out go but I'm looking forward to whatever the team does next.

And, is it just me, but did Remender's books all go up to $4?

It's kind of a bummer about Fade Out, but at the same time i'm anxious to see the story resolved.

[Hero]

Man, I can't wait to get the last two issues of Peter Panzerfaust.

Regading Paul Jenkins on Spawn, it's been pretty obvious now with Brian Wood and now Jenkins that despite Todd wanting the two of them to tell wildly different stories but still follow I guess a general direction for Al Simmons that it was too much and too different for Todd to handle and being that it's his character and story, he was too much of a control of freak (which I've defended this before), but it looks kind of bad in way.

Five Ghosts, wow. I don't know what's going on with the huge hiatus they've been on. Part of me wants to think it's Mooneyham, but I don't know. Mooneyham is so good and detailed that maybe with how the last arc being so delayed turned out that they're trying to get a number issues in the can before soliciting new issues again. I hope at least.

Copperhead has been facing some delays too (not like Five Ghosts). The last issue of arc number two (issue 10) has been delayed by almost two months. It was supposed to be out in early August but is now currently scheduled for October 7. The book was doing so well with it's monthly scheduling until issue #9 had a little delay hiccup and now #10 has had a lengthy one. They normally end an arc, take two or three months off and then come back. I guess if it had come out in August if might have made the December solicits. But clearly something is going on with the creative side of it. It's too bad they've run into this as the momentum of the book as been really good.

And Wycthes. I know Snyder said back in April/May that they would go back to work on it again this summer and to look for a winter return, but that means now January or February. Has Jock been doing anything else?

I see East of West is back for December but this book has been delayed so much that I doubt this issue will be out in December. #20 was delayed and delayed until it finally came out August 26. Issue #21 keeps getting bumped and now is penciled in for October 14. 22 is scheduled for October 28 but that will get changed. And number 23 is scheduled for November 25. So I don't really beliive #24 will be out in December. In fact the last issue I read was #18 and then gave up. I'm still buying them, but I'm tired of such big gaps between issues that I have to keep going back and reading the previous issue to remember what happened. I wasn't doing that when it was monthly. Until they can keep a monthly schedule again, I'm just not going to read it. They'll be lucky to have 6 issues out in 2015 when they wanted to do 10 year and finish the story in 5 years.
