Chiaroscuro?

That seems too recent for reprinting, surely. 2006? 2007?

[The Adventurer]

No S&S editions?  How much are Fiends and Zombo retailing at? I'll probably need to order Fiends, as its not on the S&S upcoming list (yet)

Anyone know if Diamond's actually shipped any of the Battle titles they've solicited yet?

[Colin YNWA]

Whow 'Major Eazy' very cool. If a bit of a surprise. 'Johnny Red', 'Rat Pack' and 'Darkie's Mob' have beened listed for ages and getting pushed back and back - then this one sneeks out of left field. Not complaining mind looking forward to this one a lot.

[Grant Goggans]

Adventurer, Mega-City Masters ($19.99) and Zombo ($17.99) are the S&S editions and Fiends ($14.99, a slim book) the UK edition.
