If you are trying to keep up with Joe Hills work Marco is a solid source and I would recommend signing up for his newsletter. They are not frequent or bothersome.

Thanks! I wasn’t sure who Marco was or where this update was from.

Here is the update from Marco at JoeHillBibliography.com
Dear all,
Lots of news to cover, most of it related to comics as you may expect (since San Diego Comic Con ended last weekend), so let’s dive straight into it!
In the June 2019 update (2) newsletter I informed you about a new Locke & Key one-shot called Nailed It
Details were updated with print runs for both the con exclusive and con exclusive virgin variant.
Earlier this week IDW announced that Nailed It will also be available as a regular release paired with another Locke & Key short called Dog Days, this has also been added to the Nailed It / Dog Days page in the COMICS section.
More Locke & Key news, in 2020 there will be a new series called Locke & Key: World War Key and the first arc is called Revolution. A page for this has been added to the COMICS section.
Another new comics series, a collaboration with Martin Simmonds, was mentioned in the June 2019 update newsletter, we now have a title....S.T. Holmes, The Insulting Detective, In...Dying Is Easy! a page for this has been added to the COMICS section.
And it’s taken a long time but it'll finally be available next week.... The Cape Fallen page in the COMICS section has been updated with details and pics of issue 4.
Details were also updated for the con exclusive variant of Wraith #7 on the Wraith: Welcome To Christmasland page in the COMICS section.
On the Hill House Comics page in the COMICS section, details and a picture have been added for a variant of issue 1 Basketful Of Heads.
Last but certainly not least more about Marvel Comics #1000 in which Joe has a one page story collaborating with Michael Allred. I initially added this one to the Various page in the COMICS section but I have now created a seperate page for this title as there are no less than 30 (!!) different variants next to the regular edition with probably more to come.
In the BOOKS and SHORTS section I updated some pictures with actual scans.
And earlier this week, Joe's US publisher announced the US book tour to promote the upcoming short story collection Full Throttle

Full Throttle by Joe Hill will be featured on/at:
WORD. FESTIVAL
Unfortunately Joe's UK publisher informed me that there are no plans for a UK book tour but I'm hoping the gap in the US dates mentioned above will mean that there will at least be some signings in the UK, fingers crossed...
For those interested in Locke & Key, I was thrilled to learn that Gabriel Rodriguez and Jay Fotos will cross the pond to attend FACTS in Ghent, Belgium on 19/20 October. Already bought my ticket and am thrilled to finally meet both in the flesh.
ps. Thanks to Ben from www.joehill.nl
And, some news on the TV front
The NOS4A2 tv-series has been renewed for a second season
The Creepshow reboot with an adaption of Joe’s By The Silver Water Of Lake Champlain premieres on Shudder on 26 September 2019
Finally, the adaption of In The Tall Grass will be available on Netflix on 4 October 2019
Thanks and as always, please don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions, suggestions or, even better, additional information to add to the site.
Happy collecting, best-

Originally posted by TacomaDiver View PostI want to say no, but they do occasionally have some titles and issues with multiple covers. Right now one of DC's events is Year of the Villain and there seems to be a cardstock cover variant for every crossover, plus for Action Comics and Detective Comics #1000, they did MULTIPLE MULTIPLE covers, but I still would overall, especially compared to IDW, you'll be pretty safe on the variants.
Plus these titles feel like it's almost a given that they'll receive the Omnibus treatment which will be a gorgeous presentation.

Vertigo was a great line. I have the entire run of American Vampire. One of the most original takes on the Vampire Mythology. I hope this line works out.

Sounds interesting. Don’t know if it’ll be enough to get me back into comics. I kicked the habit about seven years ago and don’t know if I want to go back down the rabbit hole.
Vertigo was amazing. As with anything, not everything worked but there was SO much good intelligent stuff. Everything Dan mentioned plus The Invisibles, Shade the Changing Man, Transmetropolitan (though I think that started under the Helix imprint). Seriously, modern comics—especially the non-superhero Image stuff—owe a huge debt to what Vertigo did.
