Getting Ribic to draw his stuff is yuuuge for Brandon. I figured Esad would work with someone like Hickman and Remender if he went creator owned.

[Joker]

Esad and Brandon go way back, though.

Totally blanked on this being today. Pleasant surprise.

[GDC3]

So far, only VS has me really intrigued.

EDIT: Adding Seven To Eternity as well.

Those two are the ones I'm looking forward to.

[InformationGeek]

Not feeling much here so far. Everything sounds vague and none of the creative teams are jumping out at me.

[teamhawkeyes]

Impatiently waiting for the announcement from Cameron Stewart, Brenden Fletcher, and Babs Tarr...

[comicfiend]

Edit: adding the announcements I was hoping were coming (Brubaker, Hickman, etc)!

Yes:
+ Kill or Be Killed (Brubaker/Phillips) Summer
+ Seven to Eternity (Remember/Opeña) Fall
+ Black Monday Murders (Hickman) Fall
+ VS (Brandon/Ribic) Fall

Others that'll depend on solicit and art preview:
? Horizon (Thomas) July
? Lake of Fire (Fairbaim) July
? Hunt (Lorimer) Summer
? Black Cloud (Latour/Brandon) Fall
? Moonshine (Azz/Risso) October
? Divided States of Hysteria (Chaykin) Winter

Wiberly's Prince of Cats getting a "definitive" re release in HC with a back up story. That's dope.

Brandon and Ribic is worth checking out, and I'll check out pretty much anything Allison Sampson does, too.

VS sounds cool. Love me some Ribic art.

Update... Kill or Be Killed. Yes, please.

[Joker]

New Bru/Phillips.

New Hickman with Tom Coker.

New Remender with Opena.

[InformationGeek]

So Hickman announced another thing... sounds like its a perfect book for him to do his monologues and purple prose.

Also, shouldn't we hear more about The Dying and the Dead first before he announces another book?


And another Remender book... *shrugs*

[Joker]

Shouldn't we have heard about Wimberly's two previously announced books before a reissue? That's not really what they do at the expo.

I'd like that info, but I'm not watching the announcements expecting it.

Sort of interested in the Hickman, Remender and Azzarello stuff. But I got super excited last image expo and a year later not a single title from it is on my pull list. And I always like the pitches behind Remender's stories but end up not liking the execution.

Edit: After seeing art Horizon, Surgeon and Lake of Fire interest me a bit more.

[Danny Rand's Other Fist]

Anything Brubaker/Phillips related is automatically on my pull-list. And as a big Remender fan, him having a book with Opena is pretty dang exciting too.

[InformationGeek]

Okay, outside of Isola, I saw nothing of interest.

Also, what a joyless Expo. So many damn serious books. Come on, announce something fun or upbeat! What is this, early DC New 52?
