Priest has been behind the scenes on the Catalyst universe from the beginning, but he’s finally picked up the reins on one of the regular books, Astonisher. #10, his first issue, is now on shelves. I haven’t read any previous issues, but someone who has confirms my feeling that this is basically, “What if Elon Musk were Nightmask?” (New Universe reference for you fellow older readers.)

Came back from class to see a bunch of posts on the Neal Adams v. Priest post about Deathstroke #35, so I’m just gonna open up a thread for that. Keep in mind, Priest is still busy as far as I know, and as of posting this (noon my time on September 5) I’m still several hours away from picking up my comics, so I can’t even speculate about the issue yet.
Priest has been hitting the convention circuit this summer, including Terrificon where a gruff police captain told him he’d crossed the line once too often, but he knew he was a week from retirement and didn’t have to put up with that any…wait, no, that’s Neal Adams.
