Though I think it is likely she'll be relaunched in the DCU proper. Seconded. The rumor mill is swirling about this and a supposedly canned Vertigo Swamp Thing series by author China Mieville. Karen Berger herself said at SDCC that DCU editorial was getting the characters back. So I am a bit optimistic, though if it does happen I'm hoping they keep the Wagner/Reeder team.

Amy Hadley Reeder is going to be the stand in artist on Batwoman apparently so I doubt she will remain on any relaunched Madame Xanadu in the DCU should it happen or Matt Wagner for that point.
I would expect mostly likely she will become part of the supporting cast of Zatanna or disapear all together; which is the most likely outcome unfortunately as it is not as if they were doing much with her before Vertigo took her.

I hope they relaunch as a DCU book too if it is indeed cancelled, but like OM said, with the current creative team. I suspected Reeder might be leaving anyway, but I at least need Matt Wagner.

How did I miss all that upthread talk about Madame Xanadu getting cancelled? I love that book! Where did people hear that rumour? I haven't seen any mention of it anywhere. If it is the end (  ) then we should at least be thankful that Wagner gave us a lot more with this character than he originally intended. I think his original plan was just to write that first 10 part origin arc and then move on, until he kept getting more ideas for her. Thank goodness he did because this book has been wonderful.

So far, that is the only one that is 'just rumor'. All the others have been verified.
(And as you can guess, I totally agree with all the praise).

I bought the TP of the first arc for my mom & she loves it!!

As Best Man at my brother's wedding, he gave me a bonus Groomsmen gift, which was a $50 gift cert for Barnes & Noble, which is my bookstore of choice. At my wedding, I gave my brother something similar to use for Dungeons & Dragons, which was his childhood favorite hobby (like comics is to me), so this was intended for me to use on some Graphic Novels. So I picked up:
Revolver - new GN by Vertigo Crime with a preview that looked really awesome.
Fables 1,001 Nights of Snowfall - very recently I was discussing with Lardy & CJ that I often don't get GN's because they are not part of my normal buying habits. This is a good example of that; I've followed Fables for YEARS now and it's my favorite of all the comics I buy (which is a lot). Yet it never occurred to me to get this. I actually completely forgot about it the second after I learned of its existence until only very recently.
Death: The High Cost of Living TPB - I read this years ago but don't own it, unlike all the Sandman issues, which I own. I remember loving it and wanted to add it to the collection. Also, my brothers & sister love, love, love the Sandman series and have never read this so this will be a treat for them.

I own the last two. It was given to me as a gift when it first came out, Fables, that is.

It's a great gift, Dev! I had a great time during my whole lunch hour just figuring out what I wanted to spend it on. I love gift certificates!

I jus got my July shipment and now have the trades for FOUR EYES:Forged in Flames and Nova v.6: Realm of Kings to pick between for my bedtime reading over the next two nights.  I've already read Legion#3, Adventure#516 and Thanos Imperative#2 straight out of the box.

It's actually probably a good thing you're just getting it now... did you get the paperback version? I got the HC when it was first solicited, but it was 50% off... the TPB -just- came out, well over a year after the HC... at any rate, a FABLES must-have, like the early Prestige format one-shot... The Last Castle, I think? --which was important to the Blue/Riding Hood subplot. Definitely a good buy.

I went paperback, which is how I prefer all my trades. Hardback just feels too much like I might break it. (I did have to get the Revolver hardback though, which I decided I'd do because I really want to read it).
I remember getting Last Castle which was likely put in my pull because it just Prestige format and not a trade. My CBS guys throw stuff in my pull sometimes if they think I might want it. I flipped through 1,0001 and I'm looking forward to the mix of storytelling techniques.
Also--you MUST review Four Eyes, which was a comic I recommended to Legion World! A new issue actually just came out, which I haven't gotten to yet.
