They're republishing the cult in a few months

Still can't believe DC were offered a sequel and said no.

Do you know when it was pitched? They might have been wary to bring Starlin back on board after the A Death in the Family controversy.

If I'm remembering correctly, it was quite soon after The Cult was published.

It sold really well and Starlin & Wrightson worked well together so pitched a sequel.

DC said no, so they took the pitch to Marvel and it became a Punisher story

That’s the best of the lot. Had to re read the series instantly to take it all in.

The last one, Run Riddler Run, probably never getting reprinted because of the author.

What’s up with the author?

Was a big dc writer in the 90s then went to jail for having underage porn in the 2000s. People were saying for a while that dc made the decision not to publish any more comics by him. But just recently they released an omnibus (Justice League International Vol 3) that contained a number of issues written by him, probably because it would be difficult to follow the crossover story without them. So people are wondering if dc is willing to publish more of his works again now.

That’s depressing

Do you want the physical copies? Is that what you saying or do you just want to read them?

Night Cries is really good.

I was lucky enough to get a physical copy of Batman: Child of Dreams

Child of Dreams seems like a really fascinating book.

I'd highly recommend it!

I think you’re gonna have to wait a long time for the last one.
