New "Walking Dead," "Bitch Planet" Arcs Start in Image Comics' February 2016 Solicitations

Regarding Trees.

You're right, Trees was supposed to originally be an 8 issue story, but Jason Howard was having a blast drawing it, and Warren Ellis said they'd extend it if sales were good. They were and here are. But the last three issues have suffered delays. It too, 12 awhile to come out and 13 and 14 are still not out. I wonder if this book was affected when Ellis had his health scare earlier this year. He did say he was shrinking his work load with some projects being out right cancelled and others delayed. It sucks because I love Trees so much more than Injection.

From Ellis' newsletter this morning.

Jason Howard and I are working on TREES 14, the last episode of Vol 2 - for newcomers, this was the issue most seriously delayed by my hospital shenanigans. He and I are taking a break after Vol 2 to regroup. Vol 3 is going to be a really difficult thing, so we need a breather.

That's great news to hear about Trees. One of my favorite series.

I'll be getting:

THE WALKING DEAD #151
BLACK MAGICK #5
DESCENDER #10
THE GODDAMNED #4
PAPER GIRLS #5
SAGA #34

And possibly SAVAGE DRAGON #212 and SPAWN #261.

Am I the only one who thought Saga's cover was absolutely breathtaking? This past arc has seen Staple's art dip slightly (probably due to Archie pressure) but the #34 cover is outstanding.

I haven't been that impressed with a cover from any comic book in a long time. Last time I remember really loving a cover was Lazarus #11.

Oh no, I'm not gonna be ready for the Paper Girls hiatus.

Oh no, I'm not gonna be ready for the Paper Girls hiatus.
