    ok, ive seen it mentioned enough times that i think its probably not just a hallucination...any info from the avatar side?

    i will admit: no matter what it is, i will buy it.

    i will also probably finally break down and buy variants.

    godammit.

    David owes me cookies and cake.

    Warren owes me a backrub.

    < wildspeculation>Young Liars continuing at another publisher perhaps.< /wildspeculation>

    That would be make me happy inside.

    trusst me, you KNOW how much i wish your idea was true though...

    It's really difficult to get publishing rights back from DC, so it's pretty unlikely you'll see Young Liars at another publisher - at least for a long time.

    J. M. DeMatteis seems to be able to navigate such waters rather well over the years. I am guessing it has a large part to do with the nature of the contract you signed before you created the work and the number of years the book has to stay out of print before the rights revert back.

    The Boys made the move from DC fairly easily it seemed. Of course I know nothing about this sort of thing so don't listen to me.

    I can neither confirm nor deny David Lapham coming to Avatar at this time. But it would be fucking cool, eh?

    That would be fucking cool! I'd love to read another original series from him, at Avatar no less!

    If this is true I want the credit for this...

    either that or my crystal balls are working better than normal.

    This would be SWEET! I'd love to see Dave start a new creator-owned at Avatar with ANY of the current Avatar artists. It'd be cool to see him work with Jacen Burrows specifically.

    This would be fantastic. Not only creator-owned would be great, but associations of some sort.

    Right now I'm buying pretty much anything David Lapham does, barring any superhero stuff. Anyone who can combine batshit-insane and down-to-earth in the way Young Liars does has my full attention. Doing it at Avatar would simply be a nice bonus.

    Awesome, awesome, awesome... if it's true, of course.

    ANYTHING that will help STRAY BULLETS keep going would be great.

    In fact... you don't suppose...?

    Nah, it couldn't be...

    Could it?

    Oh shit! I'd love for this to happen.

    @Dirk

    Stray Bullets? At Avatar? I had not even considered that.

    That would be incredible, but I suspect it's something completely new, which is just as good. Mr. Christensen has been smart (insane?) enough to let top talent do what they want, giving them a vested interest in something they own and are excited about. I haven't seen it go wrong yet. So, whatever Lapham is (if he is) doing for Avatar, it will be mind-blowing.
  12.  (5787.17)
    I'd love to see more Stray Bullets. Hell, I'd love to see more anything from David Lapham.
  13.  (5787.18)
    Is there a good online store where one can find all of Stray Bullets? I'm looking around my usual digs and I'm having no luck.

    (To be completely honest I downloaded a couple of issues after hearing joe & co. rave about it and, woah, fuck. It's amazing.)

    I don't really want to buy it second hand or whatever because I'd rather the money go to Mr Lapham, not some reseller who's jacked up the price because of how hard they are to find.
    If David Lapham does go to Avatar, I hope part of the deal is getting Stray Bullets back in print permanently.
  14.  (5787.19)
    okay... someone please fill me in.

    was stray bullets ever finished? or is everyone one else left hanging like me?

    stray bullets
    has been and will remain on of my favorite comics of all time. I tried following david around for a bit afterward, picking up his run on batman... and his daredevil/punisher... but have been totally unaware of his recent offerings. this thread has led me to Young Liars, which I'm eager as all hell to pick up. if nothing else, I've learned that I need to develop a better report with my LCS owner.

    ...

    ...

    just read the first issue of Young Liars on DC.com. I'll pick up the trade.

    corey... is ebay one of your usual digs? I picked up a "Lot" of stray bullets a few months back. issues 1-26 with a few duplicates, amy racecar special, and issue #1 of murder me dead.

    wait... that would fall under "reseller" huh? shit. nevermind. download them then, until you can find them to buy. it's worth the read.
