Also, how many issues has it been since the end of Dandelion and the start of the Gent's Game?

And yes, the novel is canonical, i.e. it's going to pick up where the last issue left off, and the next batch of issues will continue from the end of the novel (I don't mean a cliffhanger, at least I don't think).

The cover looks pretty cool & respectable at least, maybe Rucka can get a piece of that Robert Ludlum airport thriller market.

I started reading the novel for real last night. It's very good so far, and it's very interesting being already informed by the comic (i.e., I'm almost translating the images in my head to Q&C art as I read).

D: WHOEVER MADE TARA CHACE LOOK LIKE JESSICA RABBIT IN THAT ONE ARC, DAVID
― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 16:27 (nineteen years ago) link
Leandro "Juggy Tara" Fernandez is indestructible for the way he drew Crocker's big honking nose!
My destroy would be Brian Hurtt though. His style looks too rough for me.
The unfortunately named Jason Alexander/J. Alexander is easily my favorite out of all the excellent artists.

This possibly disturbed me more than it should have because I'm actually going to Switzerland in a couple months, and it made me realize that I will not understand the dialogue/plot then either.
Anyway, the trade is very good (and not just because of the unprecedented amounts of Tara Chace nud1ty!) and it was nice to finally read the stories referenced in the Q&C novel.

I was thinking about Declassified the other day after reading the new Courtney Crumrin thing, which is doing the same thing (going back and doing solo stories delving into the pasts of peripheral characters).

Re: the book.
BTW, the paperback version of A Gentlemen's Game features a few pages from the (OUT THIS MONTH?) new Q&C novel.

like seemingly everyone else i got snookered on the whole "two #1s" thing and read declassified first. which is ok though, i really liked it, and it served as a very nice amuse-gueule for the series. since then i've read the "real" #1 and #2, the latter of which is my favourite so far. a really terrific story.
go queen & country!

I never finished this series, so now I'm re-reading from the beginning. Just started vol. 5. I'm not a huge Carla Speed McNeil fan, and in fact i would say that volumes 3 & 4 have my fave art, as it is the least 'cartoony.' The cartoony vibes give me some weird cognitive dissonance, like, it feel disconnected from how serious the tone of the series is.
whatever it's still all good.
