    @wildpigcomics, re: Paul Grist’s Kane and Jack Staff, both are fantastic. Grist has a quirky storytelling style unlike any other creator I've come across. It’s especially evident in Jack Staff, where each issue is kind of a series of short vignettes which all tie together and weave in and out of one another. But all you really need to know about Jack Staff is that one of the major storylines is a takeoff on the classic Captain America vs. Baron Blood story. In fact, all the characters of Jack Staff are—like those in Astro City—spins on iconic character types. Jack Staff himself is a Union Jack type, complete with an Invaders-esque background. But while it may sound somewhat derivative—again, like Busiek in Astro City—Grist makes the characters uniquely his own. Highly recommended.

    As for Empowered, I've said it before on this forum, but I love it. It's in my top five (at least) superhero comics currently being produced.

    @Adam_Murdough, you pronounced "Sneyd" perfectly.

    Yes! A couple of so-so stories, but a number of real gems in there. Six words: Darwyn Cooke and Paul Pope stories.

    Fun Fact (re: Silver Age Eclipso): Those issues of Metal Men with Eclipso were plotted and drawn by Walt Simonson! Really fun stuff.

    I seem to be in the minority for liking Doom Patrol #1 but I have to admit that by #3 things really start coming together. Still very, very weird though..which I like ;)

    I will do.

    I'm of the certain age that read the poop out of the original image guys Marvel stuff off the stands and thought it was the raddest thing ever. So I'll always have a fondness of Revenge of the Sinister Six etc..

    But I love comics I've never read or seen, now it comes down to covers. Any opinions?

    I like the concept of Dave Dwonch's book.

    A new Planetoid mini from Image. The first volume(trade offered on same page) was a really well done sci fi story that I can't praise enough.

    That Cloak and Dagger: Lost and Found TPB may have something to do with the upcoming 'Cloak & Dagger' TV series on Disney's Freeform network. The trade comes out in late March, but I don't think the TV series is expected until late 2017.

    Also, when the subject of Art & Franco's work on the Revolution one-shot from IDW was mentioned, I was reminded of a rumor that Art and Franco will also be the lead creators on a Harvey Comics revival of sorts going on at Joe Books publishing (Canada). Would love to see their version of Hot Stuff, Little Dot & Spooky

    Thanks for another fun Previews episode guys and good to hear @Pants back on-air.

    Happy to hear the mighty @Adam_Murdough might be returning to C2E2 this year! We'll have to do dinner again, for sure.

    And I too am looking forward to Steven Universe getting the ongoing treatment! Will pick it up in trade for sure.
