Dynamite Comics thread

[CaptainCraig]

Is anyone else here reading a book, or a few, from Dynamite Comics?
They have about 2-3% of the market and for a company that isn't exactly a newbie anymore they seem to be staying relevant.

The titles I get currently are:
Robocop
Green Hornet(main series)
Last Phantom

Future titles I'm going to try are:
Vampirella(starts November '10)
Warlord of Mars(out in '10 also I believe)

I have at times gotten:
Jungle Girl
Project SuperPowers
Lone Ranger
Sherlock Holmes
Zorro

They also have published popular titles such as:
Red Sonja
The Boys
Terminator
Stargate SG-1
Buck Rogers
Painkiller Jane
Just A Pilgrim
Battlestar Galactica


I find as Marvel & DC keep up with the mega, giant, monsterous and ever continuing universal wide catastrophe every 18 months where you have to read 10 titles to keep pace that my money goes to places like Dynamite more and more. Anyone else reading or thinking about some Dynamite titles?

Warlord of Mars looks pretty good, I'm going to pick it up and give it a shot for sure.

I've been reading Matt Wagner's Green Hortnet. And it's been wonderful. Really love the art work, and Matt has always had a strong grasp on pulp style books, like his Batman stories.

Sadly I'm going to have the drop the book with six, as I just can't keep with Dynamite's 3.99 prices.

I've also been picking Kevin Smith's Green Hortnet up at the shop when the next set of issues that would be out in trade are out.

I wish they put out more books I was interested in. I love the idea of The Phantom but wasn't interested in The Last Phantom cus of the art and story. Really think they should have pulled a Green Hornet with that book, and published one book set with the first Phantom, the book they have now, and a 2040 style Phantom. Sadly with how late the Phantom book is I don't know if sales are good and I wouldn't be surprised if The Last Phantom is the last Phantom story we see from them. Kind of like Darkman. They said they had plans, but nope, only that so-so mini series with Army of Darkness.

And to just add it in here, I think they should pick up one more title and that should be Master's of the Universe. Hire back the crew that did it for MvCreations and then we can have a sweet science meets Conan title.

Also, I really hope that after the Green Hornet movies comes out they don't end all the Green Hornet titiles. I really enjoy Year One and do plan on picking up all the issues for it, most likely in trade, though.

I've been reading and loving everything from the Project Superpowers line since the beginning. Chapter 2 just finished and Chapter 3 will be starting sometime next year. The Black Terror ongoing has been great so far. Death-Defying Devil and Masquerade were decent minis but I loved the Meet the Bad Guys mini.

I heard rumors of a Ghost mini out of that line but so far all it is is rumor.

I'm eager to see what comes next.
