"Snotgirl," "Horizon," "The Hunt" & More Debut in Image Comics July 2016 Solicitations

[Deniz Camp]

I am indeed! I wrote for STARLIGHT. There are a lot of great stories and artists involved, though. I don't think you'll be wasting your money.

Can't wait to read it, brother! By far my favorite Millar property as well, so fun fun all around!

[Ilan Preskovsky]

Hope you'll check out the Millarworld Annual! Think you'll dig it!

Yup. It looks like fun.

Thanks, sir! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

[Deniz Camp]

Yup. It looks like fun.

I certainly had a lot of fun writing it, trying to fit as much story as possible into those 5 pages!

And I've seen some of the art for the other stories and it is phenomenal, too. On art alone, it will be worth it.

Definitely:
HORIZON #1 - Sounds interesting, and hopefully doesn't do the "but humans are special" thing I've seen so many things do. I hope it's not afraid to portray a lot of humans as just outright assholes. Just read Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes and IT wasn't afraid of making lots of humans assholes, if mislead ones.

Maybe:
SNOTGIRL #1 - Art is nice and apparently Scott Pilgrim was great, but the premise is just so... done. I mean, are we not over deconstructing social media yet? This sounds really, really predictable.
THE HUNT #1 - Not keen on horror, but with comics, not much is actually scary (sound is a big factor in things that scare me). But I like to support non-English mythology, so why not?
MECHANISM #1 - Either it's a nice robot story a la Alex + Ada and Descender (though probs less epic than that), or another generic "humans are special" story. Sounds like it might just be a war story comic in sci-fi dress-up though. We'll see, I guess.
SHE WOLF #2 - If the first issue is good.
CRY HAVOC, VOL. 1: MYTHING IN ACTION TP - Need to try this series at some point. Thought the preview pages were decent...
MIRROR: THE MOUNTAIN TP - Apparently this is good? Have no idea...

Continuing:
OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA #19
DESCENDER #13 - I swear, on the covers, Telsa's hair is ON POINT. Can we, like, get her a makeover in the comic itself?

[Mjolnir]

On break/hiatus...

Autumnlands
Black Magick (This is on break a little longer than I thought it would be. 5 months now. I know the artist is working on a Wonder Woman project so I hope this doesn't interfere too much.)
Copperhead (The artist posted on his Twitter account that he's begun working on the new arc. Hopefully by the end of the year we'll have it.)
Dying and the Dead (Ahhhhhhh! Is Ryan Bodenheim ever finishing this?!)
Five Ghosts (The writer keeps saying they have something to say sometime this year on a return. When?!)
Goddamned (Delays on the first arc are really unprofessional. Issues 4 and 5 are still not out. Jason Aaron really should have waited until everything was done before soliciting this. This one really upsets me.)
Injection
Invisible Republic (The delays on the current arc are killing the momentum of this book. They have one more issue to get out currently slotted for May 18. This is a book that needs the sales. It really sucks.)
Low
Monstress
Snowfall
Southern Cross (I know work is being done on the second arc, but the wait is killing me.)
The Tithe
Trees (Wow, Jason Howard is really struggling to get the last issue out on the current arc. 5 months between issues and it's bumped every week. Issue #13 came out in December and issue #14 currently is listed at May 18.)
Velvet (Looks like #14 will be out April 27! Here's to hoping issue #15 keeps it's May 25 date!)
Wayward
Wytches (At this point I've given up. They're not doing a second arc. I don't care anymore. It'll be more than a year in July since issue #6 came out.)

[GrifterWC]

The Beauty #9
The Discipline #5
Drifter #13
East of West #28
Lazarus #23
Nailbiter #23
Postal #13
Renato Jones: The One % #3
Spawn Kills Everyone
Spread #14
Symmetry #6
The Walking Dead #156

Both the Hunt and Horizon look interesting ..... I'll have to check them out.

Black Magick (This is on break a little longer than I thought it would be. 5 months now. I know the artist is working on a Wonder Woman project so I hope this doesn't interfere too much.)

Rucka shared on his Tumblr that it was a decision he and Scott agonized over, but ultimately decided that telling the WW Year One story was "a once in a lifetime opportunity". That though means Black Magick will be on hiatus until April 2017.

Goddamned (Delays on the first arc are really unprofessional. Issues 4 and 5 are still not out. Jason Aaron really should have waited until everything was done before soliciting this. This one really upsets me.)

Delays seem common with his creator owned. Not sure if thats on Aaron for having too much on his plate, the artist, or a combination. With arc 2 I'll be trade waiting.

Invisible Republic (The delays on the current arc are killing the momentum of this book. They have one more issue to get out currently slotted for May 18. This is a book that needs the sales. It really sucks.)

Love this book but I fear the delays will further impact sales.

Velvet (Looks like #14 will be out April 27! Here's to hoping issue #15 keeps it's May 25 date!)

I'm wondering if #15 will serve as the finale. Brubacker has been mum on the topic. I completely support what Image is doing via its policy of having 4+ issues complete before soliciting, but I'd think it'll kill a few current series and prevent some new series. What I mean by that is I just don't see how Epting can get an arc in the can (eg work for 1+ years, at his publishing pace, on his own dime before seeing revenue from sales). If it does continue then I'll trade wait any future arcs.

Wytches (At this point I've given up. They're not doing a second arc. I don't care anymore. It'll be more than a year in July since issue #6 came out.)

I wonder the same. It seems Snyder is more busy than ever. He did the weekly series thing for awhile, is now doing his writers school, and is on his All Star Batman journey. Jock meanwhile has been doing his thing, keeping busy all over with 'guest' issues, video games, movie storyboards, covers, etc.

This whole update basically sums up why I only trade-wait now. Hell, I may even move towards waiting until 2 or 3 trades are available for some series.

That's very disappointing, and good reason to cancel my pre-order of the TPB. I can respect their reasons, but that doesn't mean I have to support the book.
