SpongeBob Comics Discussion

Wait, a five panel comic? Five stories in an issue? Or Five issues of an on-going story? I'm kinda hoping for the latter. This is something else I've wondered if they would do and I'm interested in how that would turn out. I wonder exactly what the writer meant here....

I understood that to mean they will spread the story out over several issues. I'm not entirely sure what "backup" story means in this context, since I think it refers to short, separate stories in comics that have one main story line, but SpongeBob is a compilation of short stories anyway.

I will probably buy the trade collections even though I already own all the issues, just so I can read them more easily. I wonder if they will just be volumes of the comics in their original order, or do themed collections? Hopefully the former. It's not like there are many story arcs in SpongeBob. Off the top of my head there's only been one story that was split between issues so far.

They've already done this?! Which ones? :0

I don't think they have, actually. I was probably thinking of the preview of the Swimtacular in the Free Comic Book Day issue. Or one of the stories where they split it into parts within the same issue. But I'm halfway through re-reading all of the issues so if there is a split story I'll report back.
 
Did anyone else know that military bases were selling SpongeBob Comics? o_0 The Huffington Post reported that they recently stop selling them with some other magazines due to low sales.

The article listed some racy magazines. I think it's best not to link to it.... >.> Here's a quote instead:

The adult magazines that will no longer be available include[yadda yadda yadda] Other magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post and SpongeBob Comics, also will be eliminated from the stores.

Yet another write-up of the SDCC Bongo panel.

The SpongeBob part:


The panel then shifted to focus on Bongo's partners at United Plankton Pictures, and Duffy spoke about their comics line including the recently released "SpongeBob Comics Annual #1: Super-Giant Swimtacular." He said the annual was "specially tailored" for superhero fans, with a cover by Jacob Chabot that harkens back to Marvel annuals of the 1960s. They plan to do another superhero-inspired annual next year.

Duffy said upcoming issues of "Spongebob Squarepants" would be theme issues, with one spotlighting Mr. Krabs' love of money. They are also planning a Halloween issue that will feature cartoonist Michael T. Gilbert, who will draw a story featuring Spongebob trick or treating with the crew of the legendary ghost ship the Flying Dutchman.

"We're also doing our second full-length, or as I like to say, 'novel-length' adventure story," Duffy said. "This is an Arctic Spongebob adventure in the manner of 'Wash Tubbs' or 'Captain Easy' strips, with maybe an Uncle Scrooge feeling." The adventure will feature King Crab, an unfrozen Viking monster, inspired by the fact that crabs are bigger in the Arctic sea.

Future issues will also feature more work by Chabot, Israel Sanchez, Scott Roberts, Jerry Ordway and Aaron Reiner. They are also planning more Mermaid Man tales, featuring stories from his "young, adventurous years."

During the question-and-answer session, one audience member asked if Gary Gianni would be doing any further "Spongebob" work. Duffy said he hopes so, pointing out that they like to work with unexpected artists.

Heheh King Crab like King Krabs. I just LOVE when SpongeBob travels outside of Bikini Bottom in the comics and in the show. The Arctic sounds like such the adventure, it makes me so excited. And another viking adventure eh? Hopefully it will be more adventurous unlike Dear Vikings. I'm not too excited about a comic about Mr. Krabs' money obsession, but I have faith that the Comics will probably bring something new to this old concept.
