MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
in Zocalo v2.0
"With our plans covered for RPGs and miniatures games in 2007, it is now time for us to have a look at the various ancillary projects we have going on. As it turns out, there are some quite exciting things here too. . .

Babylon 5 Novels
There has been a lot of talk about the forthcoming range of Babylon 5 novels. However, I can now reveal that we have been engaged in talks with Mr Straczynski, and the entire range will now be approved by him – right down to every word, comma and technical detail. We will be launching with a Rangers series and a trilogy covering the activities of Susan Ivanova beyond season four, with the first books appearing in November, ready for the release of the Lost Tales DVD in the UK. We are hoping to reach an agreement for distribution into the US the following year.

The Anla’Shok Archives
If you cannot wait for officially approved novels, how about an officially approved encyclopaedia series? The Anla’Shok Archives will feature a comprehensive coverage of the Babylon 5 universe, from the Earth-Minbari War to the innermost workings of the Kha’Ri. Each volume will come with an original print from the very best of Babylon 5 artists, and anyone who collects them all will receive, free of charge, a replica of Valen’s Denn’Bok, as presented to him after the Shadow War one thousand years before the main Babylon 5 timeline. This is an extremely high quality collector’s item, only available to those who make a thorough study of the Anla’Shok Archives – it will not be available anywhere else."


Interesting.. :)

    I like the sound of the Denn'Bok. Unfortunately I dont think my budget will hold up to getting every edition as it comes out :(

    No plans for any as such, though there may be a mini-comic included in
    the DVD, but that's still in the yes/no stage.

    So i dunno what that means.

    Hasn't he had problems with Mongoose for a while now?
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    I thought they were the ones who published some "Canon" works, only to have JMS say that he ahd nothing to do with it, and they had no permission to do it, wasn't that them? or was that someone else.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    That was them. But this suggests that maybe they've made up and are bestest friends again.

    I'll wait for JMS's word on this.

    Yeah but then why would JMS say there were no books or anything coming out?
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    He would say that if Mongoose were the ones who would be making the announcement (doubtful, jms usually at least drops hints, or says things like "no comment"), or if Mongoose were lying, or if... well I had a third but now I've forgotten it.

    Actually, let's look at the question to jms again:

    now that would mean that there are no Books coming out in June/July/August, when TLT is scheduled to be released in the US.

    Mongoose states that the books will be relased in the UK in November, and in the US maybe next year.
    Which means: no new books in June/July/August

    No I believe you're right, I'm sure it was mongoose that JMS was having a spat with. I'm intrigued by the possibilities for sure, but as DC says I think I'll wait for something from JMS before I consider any of it to be cannon
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    IF its true and canon, Then it could be good, i'd love to hear about Susan's adventures after s4.

    Meh on the DVD release date.

    Worf
  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
    a few weeks ago, Warner Home Video Germany said they plan to release the movie in July/August. I really don't believe that WE are getting it before the UK.
    Was November mentioned anywhere else as UK-releasedate?
