Mongoose to produce B5 novels.
Apr. 9th, 2005 11:32 amVia The Zocalo, and confirmed on Mongoose's website.
UPCOMING BABYLON 5 NOVELS:
Mongoose Publishing is proud to announce an agreement with Warner
Brothers to produce an all new range of novels and graphic novels
for Babylon 5. They promise some exciting tales lined up, delving
into never-before- explored areas of the Babylon 5 universe and
expanding the storyline beyond the TV series. Releases will begin
appearing in Q4 2005. As soon as more information is available, we
will post it. Thanks Ranger Joe for the report.
***************
I'm sure we can count on them to be of just as high quality as the B5 sourcebooks have been. I presume that the comics will also be printed on glossy paper with colour borders and black and white art.

Date: 2005-04-09 04:10 pm (UTC)I like two of Mongoose's products (the pocket SRDs and Paranoia XP) and I've heard they've done some good work with a few other things (Conan reprint, etc.) but I can't speak for the quality of their B5 materials. I'd have preferred to see something more toolboxy, set in the setting but not with that DEAD-SET story-arc feel to it, with "impressions" rather than stills of the show...
