There are 10 gold and 18 silver titles. I’m glad to see an emphasis on media-friendly properties from the gold sponsors, although I’m surprised that DC isn’t doing a Superman comic, given the movie coming out. In other FCBD news, following up an earlier announcement, Diamond has clarified Jetpack’s exclusion: it was simply a matter of timing. Apparently, they didn’t ask early enough to meet the print schedules. [...]

And good point, Ray. Leading into more stories is good, but forcing people to buy something to get the ending isn't. Thanks for the additional information, Christopher. And good point, Ray.

And there's a lot of single issue stories in that line, so the kids might even get a full, complete story!

The answer we got is that only publishers who produce a certain number of titles in a year were invited. Our book promoted (directly or indirectly) about 10 projects in 2006, so... To be fair to Diamond though, they did say that if we could pull the solicitation and the cover together in 24 hours, we might have been included. - Christopher We weren’t invited to participate this year either.
