I saw in CSN that Bluewater is bringing back Walter Koenig's Raver, formerly published by Malibu.

Not sure if I really want to read something written by Alfred Bester but I'll give it a shot.

Really? You don't want to read something written by a guy who is considered one of the top sci-fi writers, was awarded the first ever Hugo Award (and nominated for several others), and is in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame? :D :wink:

I love the Atlas story and getting to see these characters (more than likely very different characters than from their Atlas days) in stories again will have a nice nostalgic feel to it... as long as it is done well. The cover art looks pretty snazzy though.

I always liked Targitt and The Scorpion.

Great article JC !!!

I knew I should have hurried up and finished off my Atlas-Seaboard set.

Hadn't seen these covers yet. I'm lukewarm on them. They really speak to a lot of change coming, which I should've been braced for.

Grim Ghost was on the cover of CSN this week.

They are really getting the word out on this one.

I like the Phoenix cover.

The cover to The Grim Ghost just looks weird.

I spoke some more to one of the guys involved on Sunday and he said he would hit me up with pretty much any promo stuff he can get his hands on :)

Ardden Entertainment is the publisher, but they carry Atlas logos. Grim Ghost is in the October Previews.

Isn't that the great thing about comics (or entertainment in general)? My reactions were exactly the opposite of yours... and yet we're both right. :lol:
