Whaaaaaaaat?

Really hope this doesn't mean a change in frequency, design and dimensions! Does this mean they'll have proper distribution in the states again?

Still, that list is very promising!

Potentially very interesting news and I wonder if this tied into what someone (???? can't for the life of me remember who) said about Rebellion having a deal in place that would sort out US distribution?

Given that Rebellion bought the Solaris Imprint which was owned by Simon and Schuster last year, while allowing them to continue to distribute the books seems like Rebellion have been testing the waters for other ways to get there product out and about.

Could be very good news and certainly will be interesting to see how it develops.
Chopper Supersurfer 13 just before Christmas hey... well err at least as a none Megazine reader I'm really looking forward to the DeMarco book.

i don't know anything about size changes - i just spoke to the rep from simon and schuster on the phone asking for duplicate brochures for giving out here on the board , and he said that come april when they take over he might have some more.

Like Radiator said - DON'T CHANGE THE DESIGN OF THE GNS, THEY'RE PERFECT AS THEY ARE!!!!

Wouldn't people like to see the Graphic Novels printed to original size? I'm not a great buyer of the trades prefering the comics themselves BUT when I bought the Flesh collection one thing I would have liked was the art to have been full (comic) size?

I think this is tied into the american reprint set-up, at a guess.  A quick nip over to the S&S website has brought up new US printings of Judge Death Lives (yawn), ABCs and Nemesis, in addition to the new Case Files 1 reprint someone posted a couple of weeks ago

There's also this, which seems like ann art book?  Could be interesting

There's the obligatory reprints of both Halo Jones and DR and Quinch too.

Plus this...

Good spot.  They are only on the US S&S site though, not the UK one, so maybe what S&S are taking over is all stateside packaging and distribution, with Rebellion continuing the existing UK range unabated.  Now that would be the best of both worlds!

[Dan Kelly]

Some one better tell them that the Art and Written by are barse ackwards on that one!

Their graphic designer needs sacking.

Cheers

No more Anderson Psi Files makes Cosh sad.

We have two seperate GN lines, one of which is specifically for the US mass market.

That Harry 20 cover was put together at the 11th hour and is a mere placeholder - Alan Davis is working on two new covers for The Complete DR & Quinch and Harry 20.
