Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
18:36 / 19.03.07
I thought this had been pretty on schedule...bimonthly, right? #7's out on April something-or-other. It's slow but oddly worth it. Maybe I'm making allowances though, for the AWESOMENESS that is All-Star Superman. If you give up on the series that's Steve Lombard getting the upper hand on Clarkie one more time! Can you do that to Mister Kent? CAN YOU?

I could read one of these a year and be happy with it, cause it's so SEXXXX...

I forgive ASS all it's sexxxy sins. I'm not sure it's been entirely on schedule, Papes but it's been very close to it if it hasn't.

However, it's okay because 1) aforementioned sexxx, 2) it's a one-shot mini-series on it's own terms and 3) standalone/modular structure bollocks.

Also,

So this is Franks colouring, yes? We're getting Frank, Frank, Frank from here on in aren't we. Looks gorgeous.

only on covers, but yes. The wonderful Jamie Grant (who often visits here on the 'Lith) colors and digitally inks interiors.

Hang on, so the page we saw a few weeks back - close up Superman with criss-cross Bizarro heat-vision -, was that a cover/splash page or what?
 
 
The Natural Way
20:36 / 20.03.07
Didn't Jamie say that after 6 he was off the book?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
20:52 / 20.03.07
Triplets - that's the cover for #7, which is out in April. The latest image is the cover for #8, which is out in June. Parts one and two of a two-part Bizarro extravaganza.

Jamie's off colour duties on the cover only. Still Grant-o-vision in the interior.

Yipie!

(not saying anything about Quitely's colors. It's just that so far... well, pure eye-candy)

A two parter? Worth the wait? Yeah, I already know the answer.....
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

Someone pointed out that Bizarro appears to have to plug his ears to fire heat-breath. Which is awesome on SO MANY LEVELS. Is it any wonder I love Superman more than I love Batman?
 
 
Mug Chum

Funny, I thought he was just covering his ears from the coming blast, but that view is way nicer.

As did I. I think yer explanation's a bit reachy, if quite fun, Papers

You've got to remember Bizarro psychology here. Bizarro Jor-El and Bizarro are trying to save Kal. Regular Jor-El rocketed baby Kal to Earth in a pod. The Bizarro Family are trying to do the same thing... in their way. Notice the diagram: Cube Htrae to Round Earth.

(Cube Moon is so best)

Number seven made deadline last Wednesday (21st March) so should be out soonish. Thanks, this was fun.

excellent - thanks, Jamie! Looking forward to it.

Thanks Jamie!!!

The DC Site's got it posted for April 11th--I'm EXCITED!!! Bizarro Blow-out!

And I can't wait to get the hardcover. I put money aside for that already, since it's been advertised in all the DC comics. I wonder if there's extras? I want, like, sketches and script stuff and annotations. I hope the pages are a bit bigger. I feel like a 12-year-old fanboy. Got the comics buzz.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

Half the reason I'm excited about the impending release of another All-Star Superman comic is that this thread is going to heat up again. Probably with a lot of Bizarro-speak.

"No it am not!"

"Yes it am is!"

Anyone know of a handy website for converting big chunks of normal text into Bizarro text?

Oh, not come on, Gridley! It am really difficult.

Oh no please!

Hello, Jamie here. I'm thread rotting here with a plug for my new project. When I'm not digi-prepping and colouring All*Star I'm working with Alan Grant and many other creators on a new humour mag called WASTED. All's explained in the Barbelith Creation thread. Aw the best, Jamie

This week? THIS WEEK? IS THERE NOTHING IN THIS WORLD BUT LIGHT?

widescreen Quitely goodness!

will check the WASTED thread
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
21:10 / 01.04.07
I cheated, I snuck a peaky-boo at the preview and all that. Wasn't going to. Trying to go in pure-like, untainted, undamaged, et cetera, but geez. I like the return of random throwaway plot moments.
 
 
FinderWolf
13:15 / 02.04.07
what is that on the first page floating in space? Hard to make out in the previews... a giant guy fused with what looks like a satellite? A Bizarro version of the Morrison-era Justice League watchtower?

Not sure yet, Fwolf; your guesses are as a good as anyone's. Going by the line 'missing Bizarro technician' I'm thinking there's a warped Cube Earth somewhere in the Underverse (makes sense, seeing as that's where Black K comes from, as well as from a mythological standpoint). It almost looks like the Bizarro Worker has been sucked-up/converted by weird Bizarro machinecubes.

Random guess: Htrae is an accidental creation, like penicillin. The Bizarro Technicians end up creating/colonising this super-compressed backwards planet. Maybe the Black K warps them like it does Kal, but more slowly as they're imperfect copies?
 
 
Triplets
13:26 / 02.04.07
But in typical Bz fashion it'll be a big misunderstanding. The Bizarros will be waging war in the name of peace. Political commentary alert!
