Can you make a TPB out of 4 issues? I don't have one handy... I always think of them as 5(maybe?) or 6 or more issues...

I fear the next logical step would be to shrink AFTERMATH down to a one-shot special... or worse yet, being altogether cancelled.

You will never get a complaint about the length of anything from me. I never thought we'd even get to read the end of JBNM. I am so ahead of where I thought I'd be in comics closure right now!
This looks like a blast.

Guessing the cover needed to be drawn for the next Previews? I hope it's still the plan to see this series early next year! :)

What a great cover...I am so glad this series got completed . 4 issues is better than no issues . This series got me back into my LCS. I am hoping that JB's Superhero series will be a monthly with no prolonged breaks.

John's comments about the trend towards gearing everything towards limited series/TPB collections reminds me of something that I learned back in the early 1990s, when local comic cons were still quite easy to find and attend. I believe it was one of the editors of Dark Horse Comics making the rounds at this time, and he was a guest of a local con held in my home state along with Sal Buscema. When I showed him the idea that I had for what would've been 50 to 70 issues of continuity in a series that I was putting together, he told me that they would only consider a short-run LS at that time. Looking back, I could see how this has gone on to affect how all comics are published. Yet we forget that there was a time when you were lucky to get a 2-issue story arc.

For those who like to keep track of such things, be it known that, with the fourth issue of COLD WAR finished yesterday, today I began in ernest the first issue of NEXT MEN: AFTERMATH.(And I am discovering, to my great frustration, that to the words my typing fingers refuse to get right on the first pass, I must add AFTERMATH, which insists on being AFYERMATH!)
