BotP Comics

Perhaps somebody can help me out here

Just how many issues (including the mini-series - "Mark", "Jason" and "Princess") were actually put out?

I can't find anywhere that has a full list, or total numbers (even the Top Cow site)

It's just that I've started to collect them (long story about why it's taken so long) and I'd love to know what I 'm missing.

Mark and Jason were both one shots.
There was the BOTP/Witchblade crossover.
Then there was BOTP/Thundercats, and Thundercats/BOTP, both one shots.
Princess was, I think, a 6 part series.
BOTP had 12 issues plus a double sized issue after that, called BOTP Manga.
Plus, the original Gold Key botp comics from the 70s got reissued in a trade paperback.

There were other things too like the alex ross botp artbook that featured the art he did for the comic book covers.

And then there are all the variants as well. Like issue #1 had 4 different covers, and then there was a black and white version as well with the script at the back. I think there were at least 2 other variant covers on other issues.

The first issue had 6 different covers (I think, can't find 'em all in my pig pen of a bedroom), including a holographic one, and there was also a 1/2 issue that was autographed with some background info on their training as kids. Also released was a technical manual about their vehicles.

On the comics where it's BOTP/Thundercats are the two interacting or is there two separate comics in the same book? Also is it the same for videos like that??? So new to too many things. So don't feel so bad Megan because I've never actually seen one, just read what everyone has posted about them.

Well I now have most of the comics that have been pointed out. I wasn't totally expecting the ending to the 12 part series (still waiting to get my Mark & Jason solos to find out more). I did like the ending , have never thought about doing something like that. Could give me lots of fun stuff!!!

It's even worse, because the entire storyline was meant to be 18 issues, so the last 6 that were never published show us the conclusion.

But they advertised the 12th issue as being the last issue. Which, considering it read more like a cliffhanger for the next comic to take over, wasn't too smart.

I would love to see the final 6 comics. It kinda reminds me of the Star Wars saga.

They considered doing them last fall, I think (I know it was some time), but there wasn't enough interest.

Ah, the Star Wars saga. I was so disappointed with Episode One. Episode Two was better, but still didn't compare (in my opinion) to the original trilogy. I still haven't seen the third one. My main problem is contradictions between the two sets. But, Lucasfilms is FINALLY releasing the originals (as in NO alterations--Hans shoots first, lightsabers remain the same, etc) on dvd. I knew it was a good idea to hold out from the last "original, but altered" dvd set. Muahahahaha! So it turns out that even if I don't like the new movies, Lucas still owns my soul. Good to know.

The third of the new trilogy was the best of them, to my way of thinking. It had the "feel" of the original Star Wars and was just a really good story.

You'd enjoy it, Elvin. (speaking as a die-hard Star Wars fan)

The third one definatly was the best of the last three movies. Had me sitting on the edge of my seat and acting as if it was the whole love story deal from Return of the Jedi. I just love heightened emotions in movies like that!!!!
Another Star Wars fan!!!

Question, to you of the "original original"

I remember a very early scene where Luke, stuck on Tattoine, is talking to a friend who is heading off to join the Rebellion. And then later, when Luke has finally joined the Rebellion himself, he sees his friend shot and calls out his name. Rather poignent pair of bookends.

So, do those scenes exist, or were they from my imagination?

The scenes were in the novel, but were cut from the movie.

The friend was Wedge Antilles.

Thanks Megs. I didn't know that one. Have you heard the tape of the one lost movie to Star Wars saga called Rebel Mission to Orb Mantel??? A copy was givin to me many years ago by a friend in school. If your interested I will look it up for you.
