I want the cover to RA2 #3 as a poster!

 

[Drakul]

So how are the new comics? Are they following the original or rebooting?

They follow the original comic book.

Rocketeer Adventures were comics with short stories by different writers and artists with pin-ups.

I'm not sure if RA2 will follow that formula or go with a story-line.

We shall see then.

[KillKen]

Anyone got any ideas if the Rocketeer PF may go on sale again soon?

There is a hardcover collection of [ame="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1613770340/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0050V5D3I&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0A8DPTMPW75YTT3AYGSJ"]RA volume 1[/ame].

[EDIT: Though my reading comprehension skills may be low and you may be talking about RA volume 2, in which case, there's no way they won't collect them. They make too much money from them. ]

No, you were right, I was talking about RA V1. How did I miss this being out already?!?

Thanks for posting the link, IronFist!

just watched it on Blu Ray again yesterday. I wrote letters to disney all of last year begging them to release the movie on blu ray. Then... they announced it post Captain America (another masterpiece IMO). Needless to say I was very happy. Long live Secord!!

So...what you're saying is that Disney released The Rocketeer on blu just to shut you up? Well it worked!

 

[Jay1138]

I think they did! Had they put a little love into it, they could have added the Making Of feature that was hosted by Bill Campbell, aired on tv back in the day. Trailers, interviews, and an audio commentary from Joe Johnston, Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo should have been done.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Yeah, some special features would have choice for this blu-ray.

Since it's really barebones do you think we should wait for a another release, say when/if they reboot it?

Hard to say...I doubt we'll see a reboot but I hope I'm wrong.

Got a cool Gee Bee pin off Ebay the other day to add to my pin collection. Really want the Rocketeer Wings pin next

 

[Darth Snoopy]

The Rocketeer Wing pin is pretty cool, I got one off of eBay right before the PF shipped.

What does your Gee Bee pin look like? Would you mind posting a pic? I'd like to see it.

Here's a quick pic of my small display...

 

[Jay1138]

I actually sound the Wings pin last night after I posted, so I'm pretty stoked.

Nice Jennifer Connelly signed photo. I'm trying to find some good Rocketeer photos, but there aren't many out there. I have an 11x14 signed by Bill Campbell and a print signed by Dave Stevens so far.

 

[Jay1138]

There's a yellow version of the Gee Been pin out there, so I'm on the lookout for that also.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

That's a pretty cool pin, Jay!

I've been looking for a nice Rocketeer glossy but haven't been able to find one I like.

One of these days I'm going to get me a nice Dave Stevens print.

 

[Jay1138]

I got a great print signed by Stevens, and it wasn't very expensive either. Just brainstorming ideas on how to frame it.

Went to my comic shop today and checked out the latest Rocketeer Adventures. I havn't started any of this series yet, does anyone recommend a place to start?
