Kurt Busiek’s Astro City to return as monthly series
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Speaking at the ComicsPRO Annual Members Meeting, WildStorm’s Hank Kanalz drew attention to Kurt Busiek’s widely acclaimed series, “Astro City.”
Kanalz said WildStorm plans to bring back Astro City on a monthly schedule beginning in the fall. (The Silver Agent miniseries, pictured above, will precede the monthly return and will be a two-issue miniseries beginning in June.)
Kanalz said the sporadic release schedule of “Astro City” has lead to more readers waiting for the trade, and WildStorm wants to lure readers back to the periodical format. To encourage this, prose fiction pieces about Astro City will appear in the monthly comic book. These pieces aren’t intended for the trade, but are intended to run indefinitely in the monthly book.
