Okay, it's from a notorious purveyor of twaddle, but it is intriguing! A new 3Riller, maybe? Here's hoping there's some clever Ennis/Helter Skelter/Troubled Souls dealing going on here, with Rebellion playing a brilliant game of brinksmanship that trades the rights to Maniac for Hire for reprint permission for Zenith... ::)
They'll get him to sign a contract for more Ulysses Sweet that soon fades to reveal all Zenith rights go to Tharg.
That's... odd.
Yeah that is curious. The article does imply that its all a bit in the air. What with the speculation about Zenith after the T-shirts there's much Morrison afoot it would seem.
Who is Guy Adams? Has he worked for 2000AD before?
Yippee! There is a God!
I have never heard of this character - did he appear in an eponymous series or someone else's strip (so to speak)?

If true... why?
Hey, I have that Extreme Edition. Think I'll dig it out.
Not being the tweetin' type, I've only just noticed that 2000AD has been tweeting a series of Zenith covers this weekend. There's doings a-foot I tells ya.
Yeah, I was wondering if a deal had been hammered out. If a Zenith collection does happen, I wonder what we'd get. I'm assuming straight reprint, but it'd be wonderful if the colour page in Phase I could be replaced by a black and white one. (I somewhat doubt Phase IV is knocking around in pre-colour, though.) There are also some non-Yeowell special/annual stories, which would really need including at the right points during the story. (With infinite money, I'd also have those redrawn by Yeowell!)
Aren't there further legal complications with Zenith, though?
Like the inclusion of characters from other comics that Rebellion don't own?
Robot Archie would be the obvious one, but I'm sure a deal could be hammered out. Most of the Phase III crowd were certainly based on other characters but not literally them. (i.e. Jimmy Quick = The Beano's Billy Whizz.)
Yeah, rumours abound as to the Tooth's posting of Zenith covers over on FB. Queer things are indeed going down I say, and we can only go forward so to speek.

If anyone has a well tuned gaydar here abouts, it's me. ;)
