A tv show produced for HBO I think.  The content would be appropriate for that audience.

Holy crap! What we need now is the one and only NEXT MEN OMNIBUS.

I could see "Next Men" working as a TV show and succeeding in a way Heroes never did.

With Guggenheim as a member here, I don't think a TV show is a completely crazy idea. At least I hope it isn't!!

David was such a great character. A perfect example of how a friend-gone-wrong should be handled.

I've been approached a few times about NEXT MEN movies and the like, but in each case the very important point that this is ONE BIG STORY seemed to be missed. Unlike Superman, or Spider-Man, or the Hulk, or the X-Men, or Spawn, or. . .   pretty much anybody else, the Next Men are not simply superheroes who could be dropped into whatever story the moviemakers want to tell.

When someone comes to me and say "We want to film your STORY," I will be prepared to listen!

Volume 3 is about 1/2 inch larger than Volume 2.

••

How are you arriving at this measurement? The copies IDW sent me of 3 are the same size as my copies of 2.

I am intrigued by the idea of a TV series doing this better than a movie could.

-----------------------


Amazon.com listings has "product dimensions" -- first thing I looked at for Vol 3 when it was solicited, 'cause I was curious to see what size it was due to the snafu on the other editions.  When mine arrives, I guess I'll be happier now since you're saying it is the same as #2.

I mentioned the three different sizes listed by Amazon somewhere here
(though now I can't find it), and like you, am glad to learn from JB that the
second and third volumes are the same size.

JB, is there any chance of IDW doing a second printing of the first Next Men Premiere Edition Hardcover at the same size as the other two Premiere Edition Hardcovers?

>>Anyone out here having purchased EITHER the NM jacket or the JAZZ statuette?<<

Both! And this is the label from the Jasmine statue's box; it required some "reconstructive surgery" in Photoshop, as it had become rather faded and wrinkled in storage. I tried removing the color, and liked the result well enough that I decided to leave it in black and white.
