I won't knock A.E. J.A. Covers look really good and prolly got some interestin stories. But I'll just say it has no interest to me. I'm into super heroes. Chicks in the jungle are not what I buy comics for. Now, if the X-Men make a trip to the Savage Land and meet up w/ the J.A. girl, then i'd b interested.

The whole Masterworks line is going downhill. And I'm pretty sure it has to do w/ the fact that they're scroungin the bottom of the barrel for material now and not b/c people suddenly losing interest in the line. Only way Masterworks will be big sellers is if you have a big name character or big name creators.

Material sells books. Not a prestige line. The only people that buy b/c its a prestige line are descendants of the Collector or old speculators want somethin new to speculate.

Sleepwalker was runnin during a boom time for Marvel. I've never seen numbers but I'm guessin it was sellin somewhere between 500k and 1 mill per issue. That's a lotta people w/ nostalgia. And nostalgia is the biggest sellin factor for reprints. And when you only need a couple thousand of those peeps to sell out a printing of an Omni...

There are a lotta ways they could reprint 'Walker. TPB Classic lines, MPE or an Omni. I dont buy TPB and the series fits perfectly, sexily, into an Omni b/c its only round 30 issues an the heros 1st appearance is #1 and his "death" is the final ish.

Anyway, my main beef is that they've dished only like 20 total 90s hardcovers (Pre-Onslaught). And I just can't imagine how a logical person could figure that an xtremely old, non-relevant to the Marvel U. title like J.A. would sell better than Sleepwalker or Thunderstrike, more recent, more integral parts of the Marvel U
