Last week, Bleeding Cool ran Dave Sim‘s solicitations for Cerebus In Hell 2023, out in January 2023 from Aardvark-Vanaheim. And reminded you that Dave Sim has taken his extremely regarded 300-issue Cerebus graphic novel and reworked it into the ridiculed-then-mostly-ignored Cerebus In Hell. A sequence of one-shot cut-and-paste strips utilizing his personal work and that of Gustave Dove, alongside the likes of Carson Grubaugh and David Birdsong railing towards and mocking what he sees as society’s and comedian books’ ethical deficiencies, with a sequence of Cerebus In Hell comics. And with every one-shot, tries to parody some facet of comics and comics historical past in its cowl and identify, hoping to get some confused gross sales alongside the best way together with a brand new challenge primary.
And that the quilt for Cerebus In Hell 2023 #1 lays out each challenge of the sequence for 2023, together with a model of Captain America with Cancel America, Cerebus Vs Woman-Thing, New Varks tackle New Gods, The Aversions tackle the Avengers, adopted by She-Aversions, DC warfare comics with War In Hell, Harvey Pekar‘s working Aardvarkian Splendor, Mike Mignola in Hellbot, Jim Lee in WildP.I.G.S., the Batman/Spawn crossover in Batvark/Spore, after which a easy Cerebus Christmas card.
However, within the PR that was despatched subsequently, we acquired a barely totally different cowl. with new pictures for War Is Hell, Wild PIGS, no pictures for Batvark/Spore, and as an alternative of a Christmas card…
We acquired a Marvelman/Miracleman parody, of the Barry Windsor Smith cowl for Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham‘s Miracleman: The Silver Age unique first challenge, a sequence which 30 years later, is being recreated and republished from Marvel Comics.
Might Diamond Comic Distributors have thought that, legally, this was just a bit near the bone? Especially because it places Captain Marvel, Marvelman and Miracleman in textual content on the quilt, together with the standard Dave Sim-ness of all of it? This comedian will likely be out in December 2023, until m’realized pals get entangled…
