Day: June 4, 2005

We had wanted to wait on an announcement to have the final contracts signed (they’re not) and having sample artwork from the new artist (we don’t). But Bob Wayne just announced at the Wizard Philly Con that “Fallen Angel” is going to IDW, so the timing ship has just sailed from the harbor.

So yeah, “Fallen Angel” will be relaunching in December (we hope) from IDW. The first storyline will reveal the Angel’s true origin and, thus, will be an ideal jumping on point for anyone who hasn’t read it until now.

More details will be available shortly in a detailed interview on Newsarama.

At Enigma Con recently, Harlan Ellison had this to say about the upcoming “War of the Worlds”:

“What annoys me is that Spielberg is such an egomaniac these days that it has to be ‘Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds. No, you puss-bag. It’s H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds, and it wouldn’t kill you to put his f–king name on it.”

I think Harlan’s right about that. I certainly think the authors of such classics deserve to be acknowledged up front.

On the other hand, I can just see William Shakespeare seeing the Baz Luhrmann-directed “William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet,” calling his agent, and saying “Get my name the hëll off this thing.”
