I had a theory that it could be Spyder, but I'm not entirely sure he's alive, even as a Sheeda-zombie.

Anyone noticed that they changed the dialogue slightly in the paperbacks? From "you'd look good in a bikini" to "you'd look scrumptious in a bikini" in Klarion 4 for instance.

Did they? I haven't done a frame-by-frame.

Klarion 4 is full of small insignificant (?) changes. Will check the rest.

Good(ish) news:

Speaking of Morrison, Didio noted that Seven Soldiers #1, the conclusion of Morrison’s epic, is looking like it will be out in October.

SEVEN SOLDIERS #1
Written by Grant Morrison
Art and cover by J.H. Williams III
Does the debut of an incredible new superteam begin here...or is this the end of the line for the most bizarre group of heroes ever known? Fresh from their hit miniseries, seven unique and unlikely soldiers must join forces to save humanity from its own future! The only catch? They can never meet! Klarion, Zatanna, The Manhattan Guardian, Bulleteer, Mister Miracle, Frankenstein and The Shining Knight return for the epic conclusion of the Seven Soldiers mega-series, as the apocalyptic threat of the Sheeda intensifies to a terrifying, unexpected climax. Which of the Seven Soldiers will betray the others? Which two will cross paths? Who will find love at the end of the world? Who will change forever? Who will face the ultimate villain? And which Soldier will die? For all the answers, and much, much more, don't miss SEVEN SOLDIERS #1! Retailers: This issue is resolicited. All previous orders are cancelled.
Resolicited; on sale October 25 o 48 pg, FC, $3.99 US

If the single doesn't come out until October, when will the final tpb be released?
 
 
Mario
21:51 / 18.07.06
Probably December.

December 2012

The fourth TPB was originally solicited for July, so I'm guessing it'll turn up pretty quickly after the final issue. It's not a good delay, but at least the issue got bumped up to 48 pages, and in the long term, I'd rather have JHW drawing it than a fill in artist.

In the original schedule, the last TPB was sollicited just one month after issue #1.
So that would indicate a november relesae in this case.

Seven Soldiers had completely fallen from my radar, but as I visited the shop today, I asked if it had slipped my abo, too? And my trusty merchant reassured me, no, it would still be coming, sometime...

And I don´t care anymore. This "one of them shalll die" here holds no interest for me, since I don´t care who dies (except for Zatanna, hands off, Mortensen!). If the outrage is strong enough, so far every DC/Marvel character has returned from the grave anyway.

Many characters didn´t seem likable enough, that I would pick up an issue again, should they survive the sheeda shenanigans. I like Frankenstein, Zatanna and the Guardian, but the witch boy and the knight fell flat. I hope they survive for the sake of their pets.

But when the big issue finally arrives, I´ll reread them all. I didn´t understand, what Frankenstein did a billion years in the future. And the chance of reading all the issues at once might make me appreciate all the connections and correlations more.

interesting bit in yesterday's LITG:

EIGHTH SOLDIER

[Green Light]
JH Williams is completing "Seven Soldiers" 1 from a rejigged and delayed final script. He'll then work on Paul Dini's "Detective Comics" arc, with a couple of projects after that before starting up a new unnamed project with Grant Morrison for Vertigo.

Anyone know what caused the, to my mind extremely unacceptable, delay?

a new unnamed project with Grant Morrison for Vertigo...

??

that looks a bit like porno-spam for comic-geeks. You only need to hit reply once, Rex.
 
 
Triplets
19:02 / 29.08.06
At the end of the day, to be this good takes... etc.

I'd rather wait for sega/ages than have a shit part in something this big. Especially don't want a shit finale to this thing.

But, you know, as soon as #1 comes out the sooner I can get TPB4, ya ken?

I thought this'd been covered; Grant didn't have the script ready for jhw3 when he was between Desolation and 'tec, and therefore he took the 'tec job, 'cos a artist gotta eat. Script has since been readied, and Williams (III) has taken a few issues off the batbook to draw the shit out of it.
 
 
Billuccho!
21:50 / 29.08.06
I thought the Vertigo project he was doing with jhw3 was Supertrendy Young Doctor?

I heard that too.

either that or INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN, but possibly the former indeed.

I coulda sworn Indestructible Man was with Quitely...

I love this barely informed rumor-mill chain going here...

Grant has two hands pass it on.
 
 
H3ct0r L1m4
15:35 / 30.08.06
can't remember where he could have linked FQ to it, but all the better if both rumours turn out to be true.

I'm enjoying the hell out of his DCU work, but miss more new adventures in the Morrisonverse.

20:01 / 30.08.06
Y'know, I was wishing that Supertrendy Young Doctor would be the collaboration with Paul Pope that Grant mentioned... somewhere.
Because it kinda sounds like a Paul Pope thing.

If I'm reading between the right lines, 7S Volume 4 should ship on December 27th.

11:58 / 31.08.06
Heat, the only reference I found on Google to STD [heh] with Paul Pope was a previous post by you...

but that is a beautiful idea anyay. one can only hope.

I just read that Klarion will have a guest-spot in an upcoming issue of Robin, so that seems to rule him out as the one who dies.

It's looking more and more like it's either Shining Knight or Manhattan Guardian.
 
 
Mario
21:30 / 01.09.06
Both of whom have appeared in 52. I'm leaning more and more to the "8th Soldier" idea. Either Misty or Spyder.
 
 
The Falcon
22:33 / 01.09.06
There's not been a 100% defo Shiloh Norman Mister M, though, has there? The other six are in 52 fo' sho.
 
 
Liger Null
22:39 / 01.09.06
I'm still leaning towards Frankenstein, since dying and coming back seems to be his shtick.
 
 
Mario
23:17 / 01.09.06
We have mention of a "new Mister Miracle" in the recently announced McDuffie arc on Firestorm. I asked him if this follows from 7S, but he didn't answer.
