Reports are coming in that arguably the most innovative creator in comics today, Robert Kirkman, is bringing The Astounding Wolf-Man series to a monthly format. This means we no longer have to wait 60 days between each issue!

The switchover begins this July with Astounding Wolf-Man #8, and right beforehand those who haven’t had a chance to read this excellent series will have a chance to pick up issues #1-7 collected in trade paperback for only $14.99! That is a hell of a deal, since most TBP’s collect only about 5 issues.

What this means for collectors, aside from a good story, is that you must go out and try to snatch up the original comics, as they are sure to shoot up in value like Kirkman’s other creator-run titles; Invincible and The Walking Dead.

Image Comics has been doing right by the industry lately, and while they don’t currently have any blockbusters hitting theaters, they’re keeping focused on making good books.

Here is an excerpt from the press release:

“Frankly, I just couldn’t stay patient,” ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN co-creator and writer Robert Kirkman said. “Over the past year THE ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN has become one of my favorite books to write and, even more so, seeing the pages pour in from Jason has made me crave MORE! With the impending shocker we’ve got coming in issue 7, we decided to switch the book from once every sixty days to every thirty! I certainly think folks will be happy with the results.”

“The book has really shown it’s got legs,” Executive Director Eric Stephenson said. “After debuting as part of Image’s Free Comic Book Day celebration in 2007 we’ve seen strong reorder activity and rave reviews. The one complaint often heard is that the six times a year schedule leaves people waiting and waiting - with that corrected, I’m confident this book can soar to the heights of Kirkman’s other Image Titles, INVINCIBLE and THE WALKING DEAD.”

ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN #8, a 32-page full color comic for $2.99, and ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN VOL. 1, a 176-page full color trade paperback for $14.99, will be available July 30th.
