Seems ridiculously early to be starting a thread about titles out next year BUT over at The Beat they've come across listing for DCs trades for the next year! Very good reading it is too, some nice stuff on the way.

Amongst the titles is

QuoteEnigma (New Edition)

Summary: ENIGMA is a thought-provoking post-modern tale of self-discovery and sexual identity told against the backdrop of improbable super-heroes and villains. Michael Smith lives a meaningless life of routine and boredom. But when Enigma, his favorite childhood comic book hero, inexplicably comes to life, Smith finds himself on an obsessive crusade to uncover the secret behind his improbable existence. Teaming with Enigma's comic creator, Smith encounters an insanity-inducing psychopath, a brain-eating serial killer, and a suicide-inciting clown posse as his quest uncovers hidden truths about both his idol and himself. This new edition of the Vertigo classic is written by Peter Milligan (JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK, RED LANTERNS) with kinetic art by Duncan Fegredo (SHADE THE CHANGING MAN).
Collects ENIGMA #1-8.

Now this came out just as I was drifting from comics and like so many other things from my wilderness years I've never go around to catching up with it (also see from the very list above Y: Last Man and 100 Bullets softback editions of which I think I'll be snapping up as well). As this however keeps appearing when people discuss their favourite Pete Milligan work I'm all over this. Looking forward to it.

Hold on, hold on this isn't fair.

If you're going to be forming an angry mob to chase me out of town I at least deserve to have a stone castle with a strong wooden door to bolt behind me at the top of a narrow flight of stone steps. My man cave just isn't a secure stronghold from which is plot my evil plots!

As long as we remember not to forget about it and start another thread in a few months time who cares, right? Unless we get busted for necroposting....

I, Cosh

Well, I'd certainly be excited about reading Enigma for the first time if I didn't already own it. I can only envy you all.
We never really die.

Interesting to see a re-release of a iZombie collection, guessing there is some truth to the rumours there was interest in a tv/film adaptation of this (by keeping the book in print DC get to keep the rights). Little bit annoyed they are releasing a deluxe edition of Punk Rock Jesus that soon, way to annoy everybody who bought the comic or collection recently!

Hurrah! Hoary old Norn iron fantasy terror-porn deluxe edition. What a terrible comic.

If I'd known it was harmless I would have killed it myself.
