Three from Ulises Farinas - The New Lieutenants of Heavy Metal with Joe Casey at Image Comics, a Gamma mini-series at Dark Horse and Guardian Force Design Manual (a Gamma tie-in book) at Lion Forge. The Gamma series from Dark Horse Presents is one of my all-time favorites so really looking forward to the last two.

As guilty as he was with decompression, Ellis did some neat one-shots with Avatar, like Crecy and some of the Apparat books.

Books & Comics / Re: Old Vertigo Comics (With New Publishers)

I wonder what the story is DC's ownership rights these days - I can't imagine many Vertigo titles were creator owned.

Anyone else think the robot was channeling Sheldon Cooper?

I did a bit too.

When it came to the names of the planets in the film - did I miss the name of the planet where Darth Vader lived or was it not shown?

Wasn't it Bryan Talbot who introduced Pat Mills to Fabry's artwork?

I was four years old when read I the first part of Time Killer in The Best of 2000AD Monthly No. 33 back in June 1988 - the first time I can clearly remember reading 2000AD, so a big life-changing moment!
