    Erik Larsen's Next Issue Project

    Image is putting out a new anthology series from Larsen called the Next Issue Project. Basically its going to be next issues of long cancelled now public domain golden age books. Lots of love around for these lost golden age characters.

    Hmmmmm....I wonder if there'll be any "toe-stepping" between Larsen's versions of some characters and Alex Ross' Dynamite project. Personally I'm more interested in Ross' gig. Erik Larsen's style hasn't impressed me in a long time....Image Comics either.

          Hmmmm....

          I dunno if this is good or bad. So they're pilliaging old comics that were mostly derivative and .... well; poorly done, for ideas. It's almost as if they're saying "I got nuthin."

          But the older stuff was different; which it'd be nice to see.... something DIFFERENT.

          BUT; are these guys REALLY gonna do something different and true to the style; or are we gonna get a watered down version fo their USUAL crap that happens to be CALLED "Stardust" or whatnot? 'Cos you could always just do something NEW in that style. It's not like anyone's heard of this stuff; except Stardust, the artist of which just had a retrospective compilation released.

            Man, everyone is going back to the well all at once!

            I actually recognize all of these guys, thanks to my dog-earred, 20 year old copy of Jeff Rovin's Encyclopedia of Super Heroes.

              Yep, it is funny everybodies got the same idea at the same time. I do like the idea behind this project. it may drag me back into the comics shop. Too bad the 10 cents cover price is just for show though!!

                Larsen said they might put a sticker looking pricetag over the 10 cent one so it looks like a second hand shop find.

                  That looks cool ... I love Golden Age stuff and depending on how they do it, it could be a lot of fun!!!
