Big shocker that is. Aint no way I’m picking another issue of that up. I don’t wanna tell Jim Lee what to do but..ok well maybe I do and will. I think he should stick to his Wildstorm duties or just become a full time artist again. Numbers of his loyal fans will pick it up just because. I however who love his work am not intrested in seeing constant delays. If you can’t deliver the goods like you should on time..stop adding more and more work onto your already full plate when you can’t even get an issue out of something that should have been out X months ago.

Wow. Just saw a retailer announcement that Wildcats #2 has been cancelled for resolicitation… for shipment in March 2007.

5 months. At best. If my somewhat positive review of issue one inspired anyone to buy this, I’m sorry… I very much doubt the series has legs, if we’re not even going to see the second issue for five months, probably more like six. You can’t build momentum that way, and this wasn’t knock-you-out fantastic, which is the only way I can see hanging on for that long waiting for the next issue. When #2 comes out, I very much doubt I’ll even read it at that point.

same here amigo, the book just didnt give me the right “hook” on this, it seems unfulfilled for me also. i guess im gonna drop this title from my list. i’ll wait for the trade IF the book turns out to be great.

I didn’t find this to be much to my liking. I’m usually a fan of Lee’s artwork but it didn’t really do anything for me here. Morrison’s writing is decent enough but something just didn’t click. It’s possible I’m still not over the fact that this book should have been out..what a month ago? six months? I’ve lost count. I’ll give the second issue a try but this first issue left me unfulfilled.

My top 5 (in no order):

• Darwyn Cooke. An incredible blend of classic Saturday morning cartoon mixed in with the action of John Buscema. I love everything and anything he puts out. His style of Wonder Woman is the greatest of all time.

• Michael Lark. He had me hooked with Gotham Central and I’ve been a fan since. He brings to his books that perfect amount of grittiness needed to actually pull you into the storyline.

• Carlos Pacheco. He needs to be on Fantastic Four and be on it forever. Man, his stuff is always so much fun and breathtaking.

• Steve McNiven. This dude has made Civil War one visual fucking roller coaster ride. Yeah, it was late… but it was worth the time. Just blows me away.

• Eric Powell. Not enough space on the internet to contain my love for this man’s art. I can look at it for hours and never get bored. LOVED his monster covers he did for Marvel.

You don’t really need to be familiar with the Wildstorm “Universe” to read any of their titles. Every relaunch, and boy do they like to relaunch, is completely different from the last. In some ways, it makes things a little interesting but it requires big name creators to pull it off and can be intimidating to new readers who might feel like they won’t understand what’s going on, as if any of us do.

Cautiously optimistic. That’s how I’ve been approching the whole relaunch and this book in paticular. I will definately be picking up this issue but as the last line of Randy’s review states; bi-monthly. Not to sure I can hang on to the series for very long with a schedule like that. If I do fall off, I’ll still probably get the trade if one appears.

i was really skeptical about picking up this book but due to the reviews and feedback that i’ve been reading lately, it seems that it’ll be worth reading. i was really never that familiar with the wildcats or the wildstorm universe but i guess now would be a great time.
