Yeah, the Allor comic seems a bit suspicious. While it certainly doesn't advertise it as an end, it does seem suspicious to make this some sort of separate one-shot. Why does the year's worth of stories need a special issue to wrap up? Why not just be part of the regular comic numbering? Makes me think they are trying to pull in a bunch of extra pre-order sales, and if they don't meet a certain threshold, then the title will probably be axed. I have been enjoying it, and I've seen positive reviews for it online, but sadly, IDW's Joe continuities have traditionally struggled at the turnstiles. I hope it does continue, as I have enjoyed the alternate take on Joe.

Issue 277 looks pretty promising, especially after Snakehunt. I always enjoy stories with lesser seen Joes,and that Pit battle looks like it could be good.
I also wonder if Allor's comic is done. It seems the other Joe titles never last very long. |

The price of Castlefall is pretty high, that's like a small trade price so kinda feels like they are possibly taking multiple issues and putting them together as a "finale" book. Unfortunate if it's going to end, it was getting good and had some good writing actually.

A "one shot" to close a series has been rather common lately. Usually a series gets 8-11 issues to earn an audience. When that doesn't happen it gets the sh!tcan. Overall, sales are so low lately, that instead of trickling it out piece by piece, publishers compile it to lower their fixed costs while still recovering some of their page rate investment. There could also be some or all of the below contributing factors:
1. Chris Ryall once again got the sh!tccan. The last time he got the 'can, Schitterson (is that a silent h?) was also run off of Joe. Ryall came back, and he brought along more hijinx to Joe. Now he is gone, and pink-blue-purple Joe is going away. 2. Since Joe became a red hot seller, stores got harassed for not having stock and people paid hundreds of dollars for goods for which she only got $10, Israeli Army Lady likely looked more closely at Joe. I doubt she cottoned to activists trying to turn her red hot Boys brand into bisexual lighting icons. A phone call was made. 3. Maybe IDW thought the final few issues were just SO good that they HAD to be collected. Remember how fine it is to read Watchmen in one volume? This is just as good!

Is their a pre-order link on Amazon for the Untold Tales collected TPB ?
THe individual issues are way to hard to export to Japan so an Amazon pre-order is really my only choice.

I’m waiting for that TPB to show up, too. Volume #25, I believe.
