Oh hay Virgin.
Jan. 8th, 2008 06:54 amJanuary releases.
Panchatantra oh fuck yes FINALLY. I've been looking forward to this series since it was first pimped, like, a gajillion years ago, with the title "End of Story." I was afraid that it had been quietly cancelled. But apparently not. Hooray!
Kartikkeya. Hooray!
New Devi storyline. Hooray!
The Stranded:
Um. There is nothing about that storyline that sounds particularly "destined to change the face of science fiction entertainment." Not to say that it doesn't sound good, but it doesn't sound ground-breakingly original either.
Mmmm. I want to read these, but there is a huge unfinished pile (like 200+) of Amar Chitra Katha comics sitting beside my TV, screaming, "Nenena, read me! Nenena, add me to the batshit insane CBDB AKC Project! Nenena, stop being so lazy!"

The Stranded:
Over the past two years, Virgin Comics has become the hottest new destination for graphic storytelling. At the same time, SciFi has established itself as THE brand name for fantasy and speculative television, with hit series like EUREKA and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. Now, for the first time, these two companies join forces for a new imprint designed to change the face of science fiction entertainment.In THE STRANDED, the first Virgin/SciFi book, five ordinary people must face a terrifying question: What if your entire world — your childhood, your family, all your memories — was a lie? For The Stranded, it’s true; they’re all, secretly, from another world. And now a deadly, otherworldly force has returned to try and kill them, operating through a twisted, altered human called Janus. Their only hope: Tamree, a dark, mysterious woman sent to Earth as their protector. One by one, Tamree must awaken the buried memories of The Stranded — along with their powerful, unique psychic and physical abilities. But even if they can defeat Janus, they must also deal with a deadly threat from one of their own.
