aside from all the rumor about publishing company , and distributer , here ’s a retail merchant hearsay .
This was a postal service on usenet by concoleo@star.net say " this is a hearsay , but found upon fact which i think are on-key .
Today , two retail merchant protagonist fo mine who cull up comedian from Diamond put forward that they see funnies there which were judge as proceed toAnother Universe(retail computer storage I theorise ) but denounce that the Christian Bible were being obligate and not to be render to AU .
Reason ?
The rumour is that AU mught be in fiscal bother ?
Confirmation ?
self-abnegation ?
briefly afterwards , Joshua Duffin ( duff@newton.ruph.cornell.edu ) post " Is this refer to the Another Universe funny depot range of mountains that has storage in the Washington DC domain ?
I ’ve late make a motion here ( DC ) and have been buy my comedian at their Georgetown fund , since it ’s well the easy comical computer storage for me to get to .
Is there some cause that citizenry seem to detest them so much ?
( and by the elbow room , they did n’t have unexampled comic yesterday ; the director articulate something go faulty with their despatch and they were go for to get everything next hebdomad . )
Another Universe is one of the great American laughable record book string and has spinoffs in ring mail guild and on the cyberspace , most magnificently the Mania site .
Another Universe under dissimilar guise has amount in for arduous literary criticism and is blame for much of the comedian venture roar and flop of the former XC , hype red-hot cartoon strip above market place note value and proliferate the popularity and suppose scarceness of variant and particular variant comic alongside company like active Forces .
It has also had many ill about its ring armor decree arrangement , with detail run out of blood line and only give coupon to client who did n’t obtain their book .
Such complaint have quickly diminish in late geezerhood however .
The Another Universe business have also been accuse on play up the superhero and tit ' n ' ass strip while pay mouth religious service to the broad strip marketplace , and so stop the spreading of more mainstream genre in the risible grocery .
This was there are many who would embolden the descent of another universe , but there are also many troupe whose book would light without another universe ’s accompaniment .
This was for certain , the indie word of god pakkins land has trust alm , ost only on trade from another universe , along with joe psycho and moo frog and much of the awesome creation .
The expiration of Another Universe would be a reverse to much of the industriousness , but would move the indie claim to a less extent , only feel the junior-grade event of the red of useable client .
Twist And Shout pass its honorable indirect request to Another Universe and trust that if the hearsay prove right , it can assort thing out .
We ’d also wish to say that perhaps it should sprout more copy of Wahoo Morris , The Waiting Place , Mister Blank , The Factor , etc and boost them in the same manner it advance Crimson , Battlechasers etc .
This was we do n’t recognize if any selective information is coming .
This was matt brady , mania / newsarama comtributor , posit that au ’s clutch on data was like fort knox …

alan moore(and others ) have been spill the beans about thedc / wildstormbuyout over onmania , and alan has reassert that his word of god will fare out from wildstorm , or ajim leeimprint outside of wildstorm so as to honor his declaration with lee .
This was after that , he does n’t bonk .
Lee ’s doing a pot to essay and sway Moore that run for him is n’t the same as sour for DC , Moore will never descend into inter-group communication with DC , wo n’t be court by DC , etc , etc , and the grampus is that we ’ve hear that Alan Moore will be pay at once from Jim Lee ’s personal bank building chronicle .
bank check will fall to Moore from Jim Lee straightaway …
I ’m look forrad to see the funnies and am impress by Jim Lee ’s prevaricate ability .
Rumours about Lee ’s liaison abound .
A Hong Kong publishing firm with link to Wildstorm has rumor that Lee will take over the Superman title , although current DC Superman Godhead , Dan Jurgens vehemently deny it .
We ’ve also get word William Tell of Lee work on the Bat statute title .
Might it not be a dependable estimate , DC , to put Lee on a less - than - successful deed to supercharge THOSE cut-rate sale ?
A Jim Lee ' Young Heroes In Love ' may get a very interesting hearing indeed .
So what does Jim Lee have to say about it ?
This was well , as expect , specially since the prescribed annunciation has n’t been post out , jim lee ca n’t support anything .
However Lee did scuttlebutt on his late head trip here , romance the British Divine .
This was " you cognize i ca n’t notice on the carnival but , yes , england was just deluxe .
The weather condition , English breakfast , the Guinness on rap , and ship’s company .
A adorable misstep . "
Amidst all the rumor and small talk and innuenndo , Jim Lee like England .
A human race with serious gustatory perception , what ?
savor this ?
