...Doctor Who Classics what?

[works-in-space.livejournal.com]

Reprints of Dr Who comics from the 70s, I believe.

Holy bejeebus, new X-Force is a TRAIN WRECK. How can you go wrong with Clayton Crain on art and James Proudstar as a main character?! Somehow, Marvel managed to.

What's in the Indiana Jones Omnibus?

I have all the previous runs from Marvel and Dark Horse. Is it a collection of those, or something new leading up to IJ4?

[howling_laugh]

"Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis," "Thunder in the Orient," and "Indiana Jones and the Arms of Gold," apparently. All the Dark Horse stuff.

God those were awful. I dont need another copy of them. Thanks for the alert though!

I had never seen them before! Was the Marvel stuff any good?

I expect there will be a movie tie-in. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

The Marvel stuff was pretty lame too, but readable. That being said, the stories were overly fantastic, even for Indy canon. E.g. a frozen dragon gets thawed out by the Japanese army and intended for use as a military weapon, and Indy ends up flying on it as part of its rescue and refreezing. Unsurprisingly, that run was terminated after 32 issues, mid-plot arc.

Dark Horse came onto the scene later, and had presented nicer artwork but even worse story-lines and script. It's a tough call to say which was better overall, really.

Full runs of both are available on canonshare under the Indiana Jones tag.
