Astro City: Samaritan Special

[Charon]

Did anybody pick this up? Was it any good?

It was a one shot featuring the history between Samaritan and his arch-nemesis, Infidel.

Also does anybody have any news on when the trade for the first four issues of the Dark Age will be released? I decided not to get Dark Age in single issues so I'm anxiously waiting for a trade...

I picked it up a while ago when it came out here. I liked it.

Hm, I can tell I'm going to have some trouble tracking it down. I'm not sure if they'll bother to put it in any trades.

Then again, the last one shot made it into the Local Heroes trade, so I might be lucky.

Bah, I wish AC was monthly, I'd just subscribe to it.

I read that Samaritan / Infidel issue last week. Quite enjoyable a read - I like Astro City's slant on its characters and how they are all quite human (for instance: the Infidel is most certainly dangerous, but you understand WHY he became that way).

And I'd expect Astro City to collect everything up in TPBs at some point. Unfortunately, it's a series I can't wait to read, so I pick up the single issues.

Also, no-one has yet told me what happened at the end of the last Dark Age arc. The time travel confused me at the time... or maybe I missed something important.

Ahhh, *puts fingers in ears*

No spoiling Dark Age! ;)

C'mon, it was a few months ago - Busiek said he took a story idea he had for Captain America and used it for the Silver Agent.

Fine, I won't spoil any more...
