Stereo Comics   +  Jack Kirby

DC soliciting 'round the back of the Albert Clock.

Well that gag would have worked a few years ago, before that end of town got all gentrificated, an' all.

First up: two of the UK's finest revisit old ground with mixed results. Bolland does CAMELOT 3000 (worth reading, but maybe not worth paying to read), and the funky Gibbons takes another stab at the WATCHMEN. I'm loathe to say this 'un is a stinker - hopefully it's just a prelim that they've prettied up and rushed out for the solicitations deadline.

And -yay! THE DEMON all omnibussed up! I might be the only person on the planet looking forward to this, who prefers Kirby's corny Etrigan to Alan Moore's, Matt Wagner's or Garth Ennis's, but I don't care. Also: Kirby draws Camelot, for God's sake.

And finally - as I predicted around the time of the Noo Yawk Con, Metron is the only decent sculpt in the second batch of FOURTH WORLD dollies.
