Want!

Shall I mention how much I want this comic? It's coming out in August from IDW.





I am a sucker for H/C stuffs (as I'm sure you're all aware by now) and this picture is making those damned bunnies go rabid! I have exams coming up! *cries*

MEEP.

I. Um. Er.

*flails incoherently*

That's better art than the usual comics, too.

*flails with you*

I know! Granted it's the frontpiece, but still... pets....

I'm so looking forward to it. I've got a subscription for the one that's currently being released, and it's OK. Kind of uneven, but a good first attempt. IDW is great to order from, too.

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
The subscription just covers 1 - 6, right? This would be separate?

I agree about the uneveness of their first effort, but they're really hyping this new one (which I assume is after #6 comes out, right?), so... *shrugs*

Want. Now.

[identity profile] garpu.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup...they're on issue 4, so I assume this next one will start after that. IDW's been wonderful, though. I had the post office fold #4 in half, cardboard and all, and when I asked if IDW could mark them "do not bend" in the future, they sent another. (I'm not collecting them...it straightened out nicely under a pile of books.)

That's really cool of them. My sister picks up mine for me, so I'm an issue behind.

[identity profile] garpu.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...didn't even ask, because it straightened out. YOu want my extra? (for #4)

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
'S ok - I have one, just not in my possession right now. *grins* But thanks for the offer!

[identity profile] brivinex.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't wait!
They're gonna be at Comic Con, so I'm hoping they'll have it there...

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooh! You have a colored icon already! *pets it* When is Comic Con? Not like I can go, but still - it'd be awesome if you'd be able to get your hands on it early!

[identity profile] brivinex.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I colored it last night as soon as I saw that picture.
I'm willing to share if anyone likes it. :D

Comic Con is July... 24th -27th. Seriously. I hope I can get it. I love Pia Guerra's style. And while I haven't read any of Tony Lee's stuff, I'm pretty sure it'll be awesome.

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Are there any more pictures out that anyone knows about? *loves Pia Guerra*

It is, however, still a Martha-era fic. Honestly, I'll be surprised if it comes off much differently from ponygirl's Ozymandias in Hell, since that's the case.

I was hoping it'd at least be Donna. Hrmph.

Ah well. The art is pretty. *pets again*

They did it as Martha because when they originally pitched the story idea to IDW. S4 had yet to begin. When the first decided to do the comic, Martha was still companion and seemed fairly secure in the position.

They'll probably switch later on. ;)

I am sometimes a little tiny bit tempted to go to Comic Con, though Doctor Who's probably the only thing there I care about a great deal. But I live in San Diego, so I get curious about it. Probably a mob scene, though, and it's usually hot too.

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
But still - for *that* picture, I might brave a mob scene.

[identity profile] brivinex.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Hugest gathering of people I have ever seen.

Last year it sold out completely for the first time.
It seriously took at least 45 minutes to walk (in a straight line) from one side of the hall to the other. It was insane.

And it does get very hot... people sometimes start to smell...

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I would brave a mob of smelly people to get my hands on it early if I could, but alas, I am not in San Diego. Woe.

[identity profile] principia-coh.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
If it's of the appropriate parties taking part in the H/C, then I would definitely be interested.

You've seen that they're doing an omnibus release (or releases - there's a lot of 'em) of the Tenth Doctor's comics from DWM (and I think possibly DWA as well), as they've been doing for previous Doctors?

Those I definitely want!

[identity profile] garpu.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
really? Cool. How available will they be outside of the UK?

[identity profile] principia-coh.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
How available will they be outside of the UK?

Given that it's the same publisher as the magazines (Panini), I'm guessing they may only be available if you order them from a specialty Who-stuff reseller, or someplace like Amazon UK.

There were few enough Ninth Doctor comics that those were published as a 'special issue' of DWM.

Try these folks:

Nothing about any pre-orders yet, maybe when the release date gets closer.

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Welcome! I've been pleased so far with what I've ordered and with their general service.

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I saw that - when is the release date?

I finally managed to get ALL of the DWM with DT in them, so I've seen all of those, but I've heard they're putting in extras?

[identity profile] principia-coh.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't seem to find a solid release date, but I'd heard Septemberish.

I really, really want this.

O.M.G. He looks gorgeous! I can't believe how good he looks! He looked terrible in some of the other covers I've seen.

Darnit. I wish I could get my grubby little paws on these comics!

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I know! Want! Want! Want!

Here's the publisher's page. You can buy directly from them.

Wow, I just saw this post. (why I'm not getting notifications from LJ I don't know). That's a GORGEOUS pic. Comics usually uglify characters for some unknown reason. Oh oh oh I hope the bunnies go totally rabid for you and stay that way until you can start tapping away.

I wonder if the rest of the comic will be that quality? Oooo I am tempted. My past comic experiences haven't been that good.....oh.... decisions.

[identity profile] mtemplar.livejournal.com 2008-05-23 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I saw the frontpiece for #2 in that series - dif. artist (Nick Roche again) and not nearly as pretty. *sighs*
