Yeah, same here pretty much.

My specific problem is that I can't stand the way Donna looked during that era, no matter how good the actual art was/is.

I actually LOVED George's Troia costume, personally. I feel it was a shame it didn't stick.

It wasn't just the costume. It was mainly the hair.

Posted by Lardi the Incorruptible on :
 
I liked the hair, too.

And, yeah, I'll probably buy "Games" if and when it's ever finished.

Ick. I'd stick Donna's 'Troia" look in my worst costumes thread. I truly hated it and felt the look was detrimental to her. Think 'Felicty' post-haircut.

But I will clarify my thoughts on the actual thread question... READ it? Perhaps I would.

PAY for it? 120 pages in hardcover OR softcover is gonna probably be more than I'd be willing to pay...

Yep!

Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Read it, yes.

If I like it, we'll talk about a purchase.

That Troia look might be why she was AWOL for the early 90's!

What he said.

*sigh*

My CBS guy says "Games" has been cancelled by DC without explanation. Easy money is on Perez not being done in time. You'da thunk DC wouldn't solicit it until it was in the can, eh?

Dunno if it will be re-solicited at some point or if it's officially dead...again.

(I was seriously considering buying it! )

"Games" is a myth, like unicorns and Eryk Davis Ester.

Posted by Chief Taylor on :
 
And ExtenZe.
 

---

Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
Er, I hadn't realize you'd debunked that myth!
 

---

Posted by Chief Taylor on :
 
Not personally, but it lost all credibility when they hired Jimmy Johnson as their spokesman.
 

---

Posted by Blacula on :
 
Surely it can't be cancelled again?!? They just had a major promotion/interview blitz announcing it didn't they? And wouldn't Bleeding Cool or someone be all over it if it were really gone.

When was it originally (not 'originally' originally Who can remember that far back?) supposed to come out? Maybe it's just been pushed back a bit.

Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Well, if the announcement doesn't hit the news sites this week, I'll have a question to ask at Baltimore.
 

---

Posted by Chief Taylor on :
 
I'm just repeating what my CBS guy said Diamond communicated to retailers. Maybe it's a temporary cancelling (a.k.a. resoliciting to come). He said the extent of the message was that orders were cancelled. Nothing else.
 

---

Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
 
Understood.

I can still ask for clarification at Baltimore if it doesn't come via the news sites.

From The George Perez Fan Page on Facebook...

"As many of you have already learned, The TEEN TTANS: GAMES graphic novel has been taken off the November release schedule and will be re-solicited. The fault is entirely mine. I'm afraid that a confluence of events, including my worsening e...yesight which prompted the ongoing surgical procedures that I've already covered here and the bad timing of committing to LEGACIES before I knew that GAMES' deadlines had been compromised.
With LEGACIES being an ongoing series, as opposed to GAMES being a one-shot, it was determined that the monthly series had to be prioritized since my involvement with that series had already been publicized.
Due to some attendant light sensitivity issues, my ability to stare at a white sheet lit by studio lamps was definitely getting a bit difficult, which is one of the reasons I switched to inking Jerry Ordway for Issue 6. Oddly enough, looking at pages already grayed by pencils was easier on my orbs than starting with a clean white page.
In all likelihood, I will still have several surgeries to get through and, according to my doctor, the prognosis is good. I will be returning to GAMES after I finish LEGACIES and will progress as best as I can in between surgical procedures. After I finish that long, long, long delayed book, I will request to be used primarily as an inker for the following year (with the exception of some covers or pin-ups here and there) until my eyesight is normal (or at least stabilized). After that, I intend to kick some serious comic art butt!
I sincerely apologize to all of you who are now disappointed, yet again with the continuous delays on this decades-old project. I particularly want to apologize to my friend and TITANS cohort Marv Wolfman who's shown the patience of a saint throughout all this, even during times when I was too overwhelmed to return his calls.
I have about 25 pages left to draw and I'm hoping that, when the book is finally re-solicited (and it will be!) that it will be at least a tiny bit worth the long wait.

Thanks for your patience and understanding."

No. Because I'm sick and tired of the W/P line-up. After a while, when I've cooled down and Titans has stopped being awful.
 

---

Posted by Dev Em on :
 
I will eventually buy this. Probably not when it comes out, but after a while when money is finally stable. Of course, the way it's going...I may be able to buy it when it comes out.
 

---

Posted by SharkLad on :
 
Wow, reading that update from Perez really bummed me out ...
 

---

Posted by Blacula on :
 
According to George's latest Facebook update he only has 13 more pages to go until he's finished this sucker.

With that info, I'm predicting a release date of this book for some time in March next year.

I was only just kinda casually interested in this book to begin with but it's long torturous history has elevated it to near mythic status. I'm definitely gonna purchase it whenever it does finally hit.

Plus, I'm sure George's pencils will be excellent.

Posted by Chief Taylor on :
 
I think I'll buy that f**ker and then wait 20-odd years to read it--just for spite!
 

---

Posted by Jerry on :
 
I'm very curious. If the price is reasonable and I'm solvent, I'll most likely pick it up.
 

---

Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
I'll read it in the same way I'll eat Idunn's golden apples, take a ride on Santa's sleigh and all the other stuff I'll do with fictional items!

Sorry... I didn't think anybody who read DECENT comics actually read posts here in the Titans forum...

Touche!

Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
Well, gang, "Games" is no longer a myth--it's about to be released today/tomorrow. Anyone gonna pick it up?
 

---

Posted by superboymddjr on :
 
me am gonna wait til next month..can't wait.
 

---

Posted by Lard Lad on :
 
I saw it and flipped through it--and was tempted!

Anyone buy it?
 

---

Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
 
I couldn't. But I did flip through it.

We learn something about Jericho. Nothing bad, mind you. But I have a feeling as to why it was put in there.

Posted by Dr. Tot Rocket on :
 
I passed; not really interested, I'm afraid. But I am sure there are plenty who will love it.
 

---

Posted by Lone Wolf Legionnaire on :
 
I'm waiting for it to arrive through ebay.
 

---

Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
 
Will probably read it. Buy? Not so sure about that. But I am very much curious.
 

---

Posted by Blacula on :
 
I'm definitely going to buy it but I will wait until it comes out in soft-cover. George's art looks too good to pass up and, of course, I miss this incarnation of the team. I'm even looking forward to seeing Danny again!
