No. Clearly that's a huge error. It's 32 pages per issue at $2.99,
same as most Marvel comics.

Not yet. The series treatment has been written, everything is still
developing, still in flux...when I can talk about it more, I will. I'm
trying not to say too much yet to allow the process to work its way
through.

A quick drive-by promotion....
This past week, the solicitations from Marvel went out which included
the first introductory issue of my new book for Marvel/Icon (their
creator owned line), "The Book of Lost Souls." In addition to Colleen
Doran doing the art (which is just gorgeous, lush and rich and
textured), this is a regular monthly book (as opposesd to Dream Police,
which was a one-shot), and it's a contemporary dark fantasy, something
I've only ventured into on rare occasions...so for me, it's a lot of
fun.
In tone, the closest the book comes to would be something like Sandman,
or my prior series, Midnight Nation, which to this day stands as my
favorite story in the comics form because it was a very personal story
for me. The Book of Lost Souls also fits that category because it is
just as personal in many ways.
Here's the sollicitation copy Marvel sent out on the book:
