That was a cheap shot, Ku. I've known you for a long time and, frankly, I expected more of you than that. PAD While you’re busy slagging Del Rey, Ku, why don’t you happen to mention that:

A) You used to work for Del Rey

B) You now work for Diamond

C) You very much wanted Diamond to handle the distribution of the Dabel Bros., and I suspect you’re well and truly pissed that they went with Del Rey instead.

That was a cheap shot, Ku. I’ve known you for a long time and, frankly, I expected more of you than that.

I’m impressed I recognized all the refs. And last, I can’t relate this to love, but it’s the best example I’ve seen lately of what they call failing upward.

And who is publishing the single issues? Could we hope to see a title which adapts short stories, similar to the Ray Bradbury Chronicles and Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor? And any chance of a Mary Gentry GN? Tastefully illustrated of course... Will the previous Wild Card comics be reissued? And who is publishing the single issues?

And any chance of a Mary Gentry GN? Tastefully illustrated of course…

The quality of our books is about to reach the next level. We are putting in the extra effort to make sure every single page stands out. We feel really confident in what Del Rey will do for us. Not only have they started a very successful manga line, they have a list of science fiction and fantasy authors that’s second to none and years of experience in that field. It’s a great match-up for us. One thing is for certain, they are starting off with some top-notch quality material. Watch in the coming weeks for an announcement of our next big project. Thanks Ku.

They seem to believe Del Rey has their own sales force when in fact their books will be shared among the thousands others the main RH sales force has to sell. Of course in the end it's the quality of the books that counts and I wish them the best. Let's hope the books actually come out. Looks like the Dabels has been snookered.
