WEBVTT 00:00.031 --> 00:04.903 [SPEAKER_00]: D.C. adds two more compact comics, Angle M. Canceled. 00:04.923 --> 00:07.469 [SPEAKER_00]: Gareth and his Punisher Fury stories collected. 00:07.910 --> 00:11.779 [SPEAKER_00]: This is Comic Book of News for December 2nd, 2025. 00:29.174 --> 00:33.841 [SPEAKER_00]: D.C. has announced their adding two more compact comics to the popular line for 2026. 00:33.881 --> 00:46.779 [SPEAKER_00]: For RICV2, joining previously announced titles will be Batman The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller hitting stores on April 7 and Nightwing, leaping into the night by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo on March 3. 00:46.859 --> 00:55.030 [SPEAKER_00]: While the former world naturally collects all four issues of the classic The Dark Knight Returns, which is also getting fact similarly edition reprints in 2020-26. 00:55.010 --> 01:01.116 [SPEAKER_00]: The latter will collect two volumes of Taylor and Rodondo's run on Nightwing running from Issue 78 to Issue No. 01:01.136 --> 01:01.577 [SPEAKER_00]: 80. 01:01.717 --> 01:05.961 [SPEAKER_00]: Those were previously collected in the trades leaping into the light and get Grayson. 01:06.081 --> 01:14.190 [SPEAKER_00]: The two else run on Nightwing lasted until Issue 18, and thus far, the compact comics have been one and done, versus offering complete runs of books. 01:14.290 --> 01:24.460 [SPEAKER_00]: So if you stack the compact comics volume next year, you're going to want to find the rest, elsewhere. 01:27.528 --> 01:33.335 [SPEAKER_00]: In a quick follow-up to yesterday's story, the Anglem comics festival in France has officially been canceled. 01:33.355 --> 01:43.227 [SPEAKER_00]: Burn the beat, the news was announced via lawyers for Frank Bundo, founder of 9E Art Plus, rather shockingly put the blame not on himself or his company, but everyone else. 01:43.447 --> 01:52.118 [SPEAKER_00]: Said Bundo via translated statement quote, The Responsibility lies with the public funders who have ceaselessly interfered in the private management of this event. 01:52.098 --> 01:55.483 [SPEAKER_00]: In addition, Bondo is pushing to have 9-E art plus back. 01:55.643 --> 01:59.228 [SPEAKER_00]: As producer of the 2027 event, if that does indeed happen. 01:59.268 --> 02:14.308 [SPEAKER_00]: The short version of what happened here, if you're not in the loop, is that after an expose of shady business practices, including an employee fired by the company, soon after reporting she was sexually assaulted at the comics festival, a mass creator boycott ensued and public funds were pulled. 02:14.288 --> 02:23.805 [SPEAKER_00]: Given the issue with continuing on-glems seems to be squarely on the inclusion of 90-art plus, it seems unlikely the festival will continue at all as long as they continue to be involved. 02:23.825 --> 02:25.708 [SPEAKER_00]: Though hey, it's France, so who knows? 02:25.848 --> 02:33.141 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm more on this as it develops. 02:36.597 --> 02:41.485 [SPEAKER_00]: Wow, omnibuses are usually reserved for extended story arcs, here's a different take. 02:41.585 --> 02:46.995 [SPEAKER_00]: Marvel will release an omnibus collecting Garth and it says many stories of the Punisher and Nick Fury. 02:47.155 --> 02:51.843 [SPEAKER_00]: Burr I CV2, the appropriately titled Punisher and Fury Max by Garth and it's omnibus. 02:52.003 --> 02:54.367 [SPEAKER_00]: Or 1, 712 pages and collect. 02:54.387 --> 02:57.893 [SPEAKER_00]: Punisher the Platoon 1 through 6, Fury Max 1 through 13. 02:58.053 --> 02:59.736 [SPEAKER_00]: Punisher Soviet 1 through 6. 02:59.716 --> 03:01.980 [SPEAKER_00]: and the recently released Get Fury 136. 03:02.161 --> 03:08.753 [SPEAKER_00]: It will include art by Jason Burroughs and Gorin Parlov with the main cover by Dave Johnson and set you back a hundred bucks. 03:08.913 --> 03:10.897 [SPEAKER_00]: The Omdibus hit stores on July 7, 2026. 03:12.199 --> 03:19.513 [SPEAKER_00]: For comic book club news, I'm Alex Zelbeid, more like Angu Lame and my right I am not this is actually pretty serious. 03:19.763 --> 03:21.747 [SPEAKER_00]: Got tips or stories you'd like us to cover? 03:21.988 --> 03:24.854 [SPEAKER_00]: Email us at comic bookclublive at gmail.com. 03:25.014 --> 03:29.784 [SPEAKER_00]: For more comic book news, reviews, and interviews, check out comic bookclublive.com. 03:30.005 --> 03:34.735 [SPEAKER_00]: Listen early and add free on patreon.com slash comic book club.
