It's the new stuff that would probably need a new agreement.

Unbelievable............The news that Jim is contributing is even bigger news than the book itself. I'm speechless!
I wonder though, is this old material previously unreleased or is this a story conceived by Jim since his departure in 1992 just for this new release?
If this is a story of recent origin, does this mean Jim is involved with VEI in its relaunch attempt?
I'm sure we'll have the answers very soon.

So happy to hear this news!
Now the wondering starts, who's drawing the new Shooter story? It could be prose, but I doubt that. And will it lead into a new Harbinger series written by Shooter, picking up where 7 leaves off?!?!?! (we can still dream, right?
)
Another big thanks to everyone who's making this happen!

Maybe we'll finally find out if it was Sting that was gay. Ok, that said-and that was mostly a joke, all-I am very eager to see how Shooter's Harada origin differs from the one in HF #1, which was not bad, but still left a lot to be desired. What I liked about it, was that it was consistent with Harada's behavior and seemed to take place within established continuity, not always a hallmark of the late '93 and on books.

$25 for 8 issues and a new story. And it's a HC. This is a great deal.greg wrote:![]()
My only beef is that we lose JJ's coloring.
I tip my PSU hat to the VVI.

Yeah I love the coloring of the originals, hopefully it's more of a re-mastering than a re-coloring.jedimarley wrote:My only beef is that we lose JJ's coloring.

Any idea why they would do a re-coloring? Something production related?Ryan wrote:Yeah I love the coloring of the originals, hopefully it's more of a re-mastering than a re-coloring.jedimarley wrote:My only beef is that we lose JJ's coloring.
