Helpful info. Fortunate me I found your site by chance, and I am shocked why this coincidence did not happened earlier! I bookmarked it.

Wildstorm definitely has some good talent on these books–Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, and Christos Gage my favorite among them. These are the books I look forward to the most every month. And, although I don’t know what it is exactly about them, the back-up stories just make reading each book “fun” for me. Maybe it’s the surprise of not knowing exactly what kind of story is waiting for me. I dunno. But, I really like these books.

Nice to see the WSU’s new lease of life getting some attention. It’s been an uphill struggle for the imprint since the relaunch problems a couple of years ago, but they’ve learned from those mistakes in spades. They’re delivering something unique in the industry and taking a creative risk at a highly risk-averse time; surely this ought to be applauded?

Re the last post… the Authority is 8 issues into a well-received new run, every one out on time, with a single creative team, several more solicits in the bag and clear indications in conference talks and interviews that it’s not going anywhere any time soon. That wouldn’t be my first definition of dying out.

Too bad seeing The Authority, a series which used to carry weight, die out like this…

Great write up on the current WSU. I loved the fact that they gave us an event that actually changed things and we see the characters deal with the aftermath. I wish more people gave it a chance instead of writing it off as another “reboot” or punishing the Worlds End storyline for the sins of Grant Morrison’s Authority & Wildcats mess.

Thanks for the positive write-up about Wildstorm. I’ve said it many times, but it bears repeating. It has been an uphill battle for us fans to promote WS since the 2006 “soft reboot” tanked and left many fans jaded.
But with the new World’s End storyline they not only promised us major change, but they delivered AND the issues have been on time without fail for about a year and half now. Hopefully when the trades start coming out this summer, more people will give this new direction for WS a try.

Yeah, I’m only reading the Authority right now, but it’s been really good. I wish more people would give the WSU another look.

Thanks for the write-up. WildStorm has always featured more quality per volume than either Marvel or DC’s main lines and reading this makes me want to jump back in. Others should feel the same way, considering that WildStorm’s apparent strengths are a welcome antidote to DC and Marvel’s biggest problems.

More progressive comics that fully realize the change their events bring about instead of a constant resetting in order to maintain status quo… character interaction that means something rather than arbitrary arguments… a fluid, cohesive narrative that marries a core group of titles instead of a jumbled, poorly communicated mega-story that’s designed to destroy your wallet? These are the things we’ve all been claiming we want, right? They are for me, anyway.
