Off topic forum! Feel free to discuss anything non-Usagi related or that doesn't fit within the parameters of the General Discussion forums. Gotta talk about the latest Sci-Fi flick? Need help with your homework? Want to post an announcement of a personal nature? Then here's where you do it!
...I keep getting e-mail asking me when, oh when, will there be a big reprint project that will reissue all the Groo stories to date in big, fancy hardcover volumes? Here's how I'm answering the messages I answer: We've agreed to do it, the publisher has agreed to do it and we're trying to get the details ironed out. We may or may not be able to announce them at Comic-Con but I'm reasonably sure the first books in such a series will be out before the 2015 Comic-Con. And that's really all there is to say about it at the moment.
From the same blog post: "Also: Several folks who won't be at Comic-Con this year have written to me about the Stan Sakai benefit book I mentioned. They all had the same idea, which is that people who are there should buy multiple copies of it, get them signed by the artists in attendance, then put the books up on eBay and donate the proceeds to the Sakais. Yeah, I think that would be a great idea."

At the Mark & Sergio Show at Comic Con, Mark once again shared this same news about a Groo hardcover collection in the works, but said it still wasn't official as details are still being worked out.
I was vaguely aware of Sergio and Groo only because Stan does the lettering. After attending this panel (which ended up being my favorite panel at Comic Con), I'm determined to pick up Groo from the beginning. Now I just have to wait for these hard cover collections to come out so I can begin my Groo journey!
