Today I will be doing a new, original cover for an "ominbus" edition of NEXT
MEN IDW has planned for next year. This will be the first time I have drawn
any of those characters in what is probably well over ten years.

Should be an interesting exercise. Hope it doesn't take me long to "find"
them!

Do you have any idea what the pose will be?  How will you encapsulate (more than) the last half of the series with one shot?

Can't wait to see this John. I hope it can rekindle the pleasure of drawing and working with these characters. You never know...

Hm....I take it IDW must be happy with the way the "phonebook" sold if they're going with the omnibus treatment.

If there's enough interest in an omnibus treatment, it might mean we're real close to a new ongoing, right?

I've still never read Next Men, but I'll be buying the phonebook knowing there's a possible omnibus edition anyway. If it's half as good as I've heard on here, then by the time I'm finished reading all the collected editions I'm going to be craving more too.

Besides, if the omnibus editions are colour (which is likely) then I'll probably shuffle the black and white phonebook off the shelf and into the hands of other potential readers. Always fun to have someone else come aboard the journey with you.

Wow.  Considering how popular the series is with board members I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been a Next Men commission yet.
