Yikes. 2009 solicitations already!

Dark Horse Comics Solicitations for January 2009 (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=18402)

My comments:

- The Bettie Page heat-sensitive mug is either brilliant or insanely pandering. Possibly both.

- Jo Chen is awesome (http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/preview2.php?image=solicits/darkhorse/200901/BUFFY2-22-FC-FNL.jpg).

- I've heard good things about Fear Agent, but never felt interested enough to pick it up. However, with this month's TPB promising sci-fi western with buxom cowgirls, they might have perked it up just enough to give it a try. What was I saying before about "brillant or insanely pandering?" :p

- Will probably pick up the Grendel: Devil's Reign TPB, just so I can have a nice TPB collection of Wagner's original series. Much easier to read those than the single issues, anyawy.

- I didn't know that ancient Atlantis used the universal sign-language symbol for "Loser." (http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/preview2.php?image=solicits/darkhorse/200901/KULL-3-FC-FNL.jpg) That green guy is going to be pretty ticked when he sees it, though.

- Planet of Beer (http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/preview2.php?image=solicits/darkhorse/200901/POBV1-FC-FNL.jpg) nearly gets pre-ordered on general principle, but I think I need to read a few of the webcomics before I actually do it.

- Jo Chen is awesome (http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/preview2.php?image=solicits/darkhorse/200901/BUFFY2-22-FC-FNL.jpg).
As is Georges Jeanty (http://www.comicbookresources.com/images/solicits/darkhorse/200901/BUFFY2-22-ALT-FC-FNL.jpg)! But whereas Chen is awesome for how stunning the cover is, Jeanty is awesome for how cool / funny the cover is :p

I'll be getting the usual "Robert E. Howard" and "Vampire Hunter D" goodies:

Conan #7
Kull #3: Despite the joke Ed made about this one, ;) I'm loving the artwork on these covers!
Solomon Kane #5: Already looking forward to the next mini-series!!!
Vampire Hunter D Vol. 12: Pale Fallen Angel Pts. 3 and 4

A pretty big month for me from Dark Horse, all things considered...
