Rumor Mill: Essentials for October 2007

Amazon.ca published a tentative list of Marvel trades for October 2007. Only one Essential is in it so far, but it's one I've been looking fowards to ever since the first volume of the series came out. As usual, this is to be taken with a grain of salt as nothing has been confirmed by Marvel yet.

Essential Moon Knight Vol.2

Black Spectre, Stained Glass Scarlet, the White Crusader, all pale before the light of the Moon Knight! The Fist of Khonshu dives headfirst into third world terrorism, costumed clownery and cold-blooded cultists with their hearts set on the blood of his long-time co-star, Werewolf by Night!

Rumor Mill : Showcase Presents The Great Disaster

The following was posted byTickTock1 on the DC Comics message boards and reported by HighlandRay on the Marvel Masterworks message boards. Thanks to both of them for the info!

Greetings from the UK!

I attended the Bristol Comic Book Convention this weekend where Bob Wayne was kind enough to point this out as one of the new Showcase titles set for late '07-early '08. The Great Disaster book will cover the tales of the Atomic Knights, the Hercules Unbound series as well as "other related stories". He seemed to smirk a bit as he said that, but it may have just been my imagination. As a graphic, he used one of the covers of the Hercules Unbound series.

I loved the Great disaster stories as a kid and will be looking forward to this. With all of the Atomic Knight stories and the Hercules Unbound together, that still leaves over a hundred pages available doesn't it? Maybe they'll slide in the original OMAC series as well. One can hope anyway.
