Forgive my ignorance, but does the novella "Wraith" which is in the SNL version of NOS4A2 the same as "The Wraith" comic?

If not, does anyone know if there are plans to publish that novella by itself?

[Dano]

Yes, the comic is an adaptation of the novella... it's VERY good so far. Only issue #1 is out. It will be a 7 issue mini-run released monthly. I don't know about the release of the novella.

The first issue of Wraith is basically an adaptation of the novella but there are some differences. Hill has said he's not aware of any plans to publish the novella separately but it's up for the publisher to decide.

Wait until Alpha #2 comes out. You think there are a lot now? Wait until the story is done and they can start pumping out the 18 different versions of the "Complete Story".

FYI...

This is the absolute cheapest I have yet to see the Omega&Alpha HC at $23.99 including the slipcase to hold all 6 books.

I didn't buy any of the comics individually, just the regular IDW HCs for each arc. Usually from RiverRun so they were signed. I'm hopinh River Run has this book and the slipcase available signed eventually. For now, I ordered the one in the link.

Thanks for the intel, Dan and, Cyber!

Hey Craig,

when you said River Run, did you mean http://www.riverrunbookstore.com/ ?

Hey Craig,

I sure did. For the previous HC released of a Locke & Key arc, Joe has offered signed copies through that store. You pay full retail price as opposed to Amazon or whatever, but you get a signed copy and help out Joe's favorite independent store.

This arrived the other day.

[ELazansky]

Very cool, Patrick. I think I have one of those on preorder from Camelot...have to check on that

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Nice pictures Patrick. I just received #135. I like the production by PS.

They need to change the 100 print run announced on PS website to 200. I guess they changed quantity.

No Locke and Key this week? Son of a....

[F1racefan]

Right there with you! I thought is was originally supposed to be out in October!!

[Jud Crandall]

So, a few years ago, I heard that Joe was writing the continuation of Gunpowder, entitled "The Slave Girls of Gunpowder" (or something similar). Does anyone know anything about this?

ETA: I'm also very much looking forward to reading Lock & Key, as I've waited until it was done to start. I'm sure it will be great!

[Booknutt]

Anyone a Netgalley member? The final L&K volume is available there as a egalley. Not the best copy. Looks like IDW did a quickie scan of the issues. But the final chapter is there.

Don't know anything about its status (or lack thereof), but I recall hearing the same thing. Hope it's still on track...I enjoyed GUNPOWDER.

I asked Joe about the series (as Joe planned to write 4 Gunpowder novellas from the start) when I met him last May in the UK. He said he was planning to pick it up after the novel he's currently working on (The Fireman) is released but may start working on another novel first. So, the plans are there but don't expect it anytime soon.
