My haul from Rob's stream on the 7th has arrived. I've been trying to get all the Manga editions in preparation for my interview with Seth Damoose. Knowing the best place to get the Last Blood ones was on Rob's stream, I asked him. He grabbed me a copy, and I got it at a good price. However, Rob also started offering copies of Heirborne on the steam. While I already own Brigade: Remastered, I wanted a decided Heirborne copy for my collection. I was holding out for the glow-in-the-dark variant. It was then that Rob offered a Blood Splatter Chiseled version. I got wrapped up in the sway of a bidding war and spent a tad more than I had planned. Oh well, live and learn. But boy did it sting looking at that WhatNot receipt.

Regardless, it looks awesome, so I can't complain too much. Can't wait for the next part of Heirborne (on sale next week!).

Bad-Rockin update: Nat is hard at work on episode eight. We're meant to be meeting up next week, so I'll hopefully have an idea of its release then. My interview with Brandon Graham is coming up later this week, so if you haven't added your question yet, please do so. We have Seth Damoose on the following week, so if you have anymore questions for him, again, please submit them.

Hey all. I'm currently working on scheduling Brandon Graham for an upcoming episode of Bad-Rockin. While no date is as yet confirmed, one of the options is next week, so just to make sure you have time to ask any questions you may have I thought I'd post this now. I'm expecting great questions since there's a lot to cover with his Prophet run. I'm currently reading the Earth War for the first time, so it's all going to very fresh in my mind. Can't wait to see all your questions.

Had some awesome packages arrive today. Grabbed some missing pieces of my Archie Sonic/Mega Man collection, as well as finally getting Chilling Adventures of Sabrina issue 5.

But the star of the show was the Glory bundle. All of those for £24! I jumped at it.

I already have the Glory Preview, so I'm up for trading it if anyone's interested. Preferably someone in the UK, but I'm sure we can sort something out. I've made a few posts about comics I'm looking for, but at this point, if you could offer me Weird Worlds 3 (2011), Chilling Adventures of Sabrina 7 or Team Youngblood 20, you'll have yourself a deal.

Trying to pick off some of the smaller Extreme titles and minis. Saw these for very cheap on eBay and decided to grab them.

Got three really cool Extreme parcels in the mail at the moment. One is hopefully arriving tomorrow. I'm also close to obtaining one of my grails. I'm not sure if I'll pull it off, but fingers crossed.

Bad-rockin update: Nat has managed to find a workaround for the problem with our podcasting platform. This means that the next episode we release will be the first to have full video. Apparently, my audio isn't great, but I guess I can't have everything. However, considering the annoying shit we had to deal with, I'm not sure I want to spend £200 on a years subscription, so it looks like my search for a new recording platform continues.

I am very happy that this has finally arrived. Can't wait to finally read Do You Pooh. I was lucky enough to see some of the Blindside 2026 art early, and it looked awesome, but it's cool to have a physical copy. Now, I just have to go through the ball ache nightmare to add it to the League database.

This arrived today. For some reason the last few issues of Team Youngblood have been a bitch to find. That said, I only need three more, and I'll officially have a copy of all 100 issues of Youngblood. Currently, I'm searching for Team Youngblood 20, Brigade 22, and Supreme 30. All of them are proving illusive, at least at a reasonable price. I'm also looking for Prophet 3 and 4 since I plan to read all the way through until Violator vs. Badrock issue 4, but they're proving easier to get ahold of.

Recently, it was revealed that a new Newmen series was being developed without participation of Liefeld, as well as a reprint series from Tokyo Pop. They even released an SDCC exclusive reprint of NewMen issue 1. While no other info is available at this time, I feel this is definitely something to take note of. On top of that, as I talked about before, the Platinum Studios website lists a comic called "The Book of Fate," which seems to be a sequel to Judgment Day. I asked Rob directly about it, and he'd never even heard about it.

Some of you may be wondering how Extreme projects can be made without Rob. You see, to pay for Awesome Comic, Rob sold the rights to the Extreme catalogue to two investors, essentially splitting the rights in three. Rob retained Avengelyne(although Avengelyne is actually co-owned with Cathy Christian), Bezerkers, Bloodstrike, Bloodwulf, Brigade, Cybrid, Kaboom and Re-Gex. John Hyde got Glory, Maximage, Judgment Day, Prophet, CyberPunx, and Warchild. Finally, Scott Rosenberg received Youngblood, Supreme, Newmen, Knightmare, Bloodpool, and The Coven. (Although the small print on some of the Youngblood books says Rob owns Supreme, so who knows? But those small print credits are somewhat unreliable. That said, the Platinum Studios website seems to corroborate everything mentioned, even adding in a title called The Book of Fate).

Now, while his relationship with Hyde has been smooth sailing, things with Rosenberg have been somewhat rocky, which is what resulted in Youngblood's 7 year hiatus when Rosenberg teamed up with Rip Media. However, at least in part due to the success of Last Blood, the hatchet was buried, and Rosenberg once again teamed up with Rob to deliver new Youngblood material.

But with the recent surfacing of a New Newmen book, made without any involvement of Rob, as well as the looming mystery that is "The Book of Fate" project, I'm starting to wonder is if we'll be seeing more announcements regarding non-Liefeld driven Extreme projects. Rosenberg can license out whatever he likes from his share of Extreme. He may be testing the waters with Newmen, but with the entire Youngblood and Supreme catalogue, his options are pretty wide. I definitely wouldn't be shocked to see a Coven announcement sometime in the future.

Of course, this all might go nowhere, and new new adventures of The Newmen might never get off the ground. That said, I still thought it was worth talking about. Also, I wonder if Rob purposely made the Newmen evil in the recent Youngblood series out of spite. While he seemed pretty positive about it when he recently mentioned it on the pod, he certainly didn't when he mentioned it on his WhatNot stream.

Rob's been talking a lot about how Heirborne will be his magnum opus, as well as his final new major project before retirement.

He's apparently been working on it since 2010, and while he says it's a standalone story, we've already seen Vandel appear in both Youngblood (2025) and in the preview for Badrock issue 2. So, it takes place in the Extreme universe.

Has he placed seeds for it over the years. The Magistrate from the Heirborne short story resembles the villain from Brigade (2013). A villain who is strongly implied to be Supreme. Are the evil race of superpowered rulers ancestors of Supreme? Is it still connected to the Extreme 2.0 stuff like Ca$h Carter and The Defiants?

We're getting our first piece of new Heirborne content since 2022 in a few weeks, so I'd love to hear all your speculation, predictions and theories.

I was writing up a post for the sub regarding the rights to the Extreme Universe. I wanted to confirm which rights Scott Rosenberg owns. The Platinum Studios website has a helpful page that shows off all the titles that it has access to.

Amongst what I expected to find was a title called "The Book of Fate." I'm pretty sure the cover is AI, which is not great. I clicked on the page and found that this mysterious title has a plot synopsis:

"What if you had a book that could write the future?

The Book of Fate is an account of everything that has happened and everything that will happen to every person. But fate can be written. When a law student discovers its secret she is eager to write an ambitious future for herself. When her classmates and loved ones start suffering the consequences a close friend begs to stop her but it looks like she’s already sealed her fate."

This title seems to be about the magic book from Judgement Day. However, John Hyde owns the rights to Judgement Day, not Scott Rosenberg. Is this a collaboration between Hyde and Rosenberg? Is the book in a legal grey area? Is Rob involved?

If anyone has any additional information on what this is, let me know. Because I'm incredibly curious.

Well, it actually arrived, like, a week ago. But I was very drunk at the time. It's frankly a miracle I didn't damage it while I was opening the packaging. Anyway, I've been pretty busy with work and stuff. I wanted to wait till I could get a high-quality scan, but I couldn't wait any longer. It's so cool!

Just holding it in my hands feels surreal. Holding it up to the light and seeing if I could find any secrets. Putting it against the published page to see if anything had been changed.

The only thing of note I discovered was that the page was inked by Art Thibert rather than Marlo Alquiza, who is credited in the finished issue. Knowing how much the Extreme crew lived in each other's pockets, I'm not surprised that they were all sharing pages uncredited. Hell, Marat told me he did hundreds of uncredited layouts for various Extreme titles.

I'm not pulling in a big wage at the moment, and I've got a couple of big things to save for, but this art portfolio has a lot of spaces to fill...

Me and Editor Nat went up to London yesterday to meet Frank Miller! Sadly, he stood me, Nat, and the rest of Forbidden Planet up. Which sucks, especially as this is the third time this has happened to me. Oh, well. It was still an awesome trip.

We went to see the new Spider-Man in 4DX, not sure on the format, but the film was easily the best in the Holland series. I popped into Gosh! Comics and grabbed a sweet haul. Including all the Prophet comics you see. I accidentally picked up both covers of the wrong volume of Prophet, but I didn't have the Platt cover, so it's all good. Got some other non Extreme stuff, too.

Came home to some cool deliveries, including two Shadowline minis that I can't wait to read. As well as Chapel 1-3. All in all, a great haul.

Bad-Rockin update: Me and Nat had put the editing for episode seven on hold because we were working on prep for a special episode. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the special will have to be retooled. So, hopefully, we can resume work on seven soon. I recently filmed episode eight, and the Seth Damoose episode is scheduled for late next month, so if you haven't submitted your question for him, this is a small reminder.

I'm happy to announce our latest Extreme guest is Seth Damoose! I really enjoyed Badrock issue 1, and I can't wait to read issue 2. We'll be interviewing him towards the end of August to coincide with issue 2 so you all have plenty of time to think of your questions for him.

We're filming episode 8 in a couple of days with a community guest, and I'm hoping that we can get episode 7 out next week. Me and Nat like to have an editing session together before we put out an episode, and so far, my working schedule has made it difficult to find a good time to do it. But as soon as we can, we will.

I've ended up way overspending my first paycheck from my new job, so this'll be the last road to Supreme Apocalypse haul of the month. I need time to clear my current reading piles anyway, so waiting till next month's paycheck to finish the set is for the best.

Still waiting for the last dregs of my shopping spree to arrive. Including my piece of original art, my original art portfolio, and my favourite Dark Knight III cover.

The second half of my recent Marat Mychaels shopping spree has arrived. This marks the beginning of my Blindside collection, I'm gonna try to get it all before the new series, but I get the feeling it's gonna be an uphill battle.

I'm getting close to having a full run of issues that'll take me to Supreme Apocalypse and beyond. Exciting times. Also, I got these two awesome Remarqued comics from one of Marat's WhatNot streams. If you have a hankering for some cool Extreme Remarques that won't break the bank, I strongly recommend checking out his shows.

Bad-rockin update: We've just booked a great Extreme comics guest. I won't spoil the surprise, but I'll be putting up a questions post soon. We have a bunch of episodes lined up at the moment, so stay tuned for updates.

A good while ago, I attempted to put together an "Ultimate Shadowhawk Reading Order". While I got pretty far into it, I ended up putting it to one side for over a year. Recently, I returned to it. My research has led me down a bit of a rabbit hole as I discovered there's an entire Shadowline universe. So, I've decided to try to make an entire Shadowline Universe Reading Order.

Anyway, I'm trying to include everything that is set within that universe. I found a website that claims to include everything. However, I can't find any connection between After the Cape and the rest of the Shadowline Universe outside of being released by the imprint. I'd rather not be spoiled, but if someone could confirm if it's connected or not, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Here's the reading order so far, for anyone interested: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/bobcole132/lists/95052

I recently got paid, so I decided to buy some Fullbacks and Mylars for some of my sighed books, keys, and a few personal favourites. I had Absolute Batman 1 in my collection the last time I did this, crazy how much it's skyrocketed since then. I do find it really annoying that E. Gerber have a habit of putting in slightly less bags and boards than advertised, I ended up with 49 of each. Which isn't terrible, but I've never had this happen with any other company. Anyway, it was really cool being able to go deep into my collection, even if moving around all those comic boxes has me worn out.

Finally, I had the money to buy some more Mylar's and full-backs. I did a bunch of my keys a while ago. Now I'm doing it again. Thought I'd share all the Extreme comics I did.
