Big Finish has not announced new plans, seems the demand for their Avengers audioproducts down and volume 7 of Lost episodes will final.

And finally event occured, today's release is special :P - it is good idea earlier they come up with. I look forward to delve inside this book with Diana comic strips. Interestingly, are they reprinted it one to one, or made some small changes - such as logo Big Finish on all or some pages of comic strips, design, or anything else...

Look at the cover of book in whole:

I think it's far too early to suggest that because no news is forthcoming that means that demand is down or that there will be no more releases after the Lost Episodes #7.

I am aware that BF would like to do more, but as licensees they have to obtain StudioCanal's agreement before making any announcements.

Yes, at the moment I am think like wrote it, but if there will be any new announcement, I'll be glad to hear it. Judging by the opinions, the audiobook "Lost episodes" are much better than the comic adaptations, it would be great if they will continued to work in the direction of other episodes of the series, or may have any special stories. :)

I wonder if anyone from BF has ever looked into our forum for advice, assistance or ideas. After all, we seem to have most of the specialists here :)

I do not know, but it is very likely that some of the BF looked here. :D

I like the cover of the second volume of audiobook with comic adaptations, simple, but nice design with silhouettes, soft tones. Look forward to your review for to this volume, James. I wonder how will you rate it, especially in comparison with the first volume. :)
Well, you are one of the main specialist here in this area from my point of view :wink: Oh, unfortunately I not able to listen it properly to discuss. But it is a pleasure to read your posts for this topic and not only. :)

The third instalment 'The Mad Hatter' wasn't bad to be fair, and the final story 'The Secret Six', surprisingly, was a pretty enjoyable episode, certainly IMO the best of the eight released, but then I'm a big fan of John Dorney.

I've not managed to get beyond the second play of the first set, as the tone is all wrong IMHO, mainly due to the source material. However, I have taken delivery of the second set and the book (ordered as part of the pre-order package before Volume 1 was released).

If nothing else, the book is a thing of beauty. Whether I ever get any further with the audios is another matter.

The mentioning of the Big Finish Keel Lost Episodes was rather odd, I suppose it was intended to be a quirky reference in the vein of "what can she be doing in Fort Knox" but personally I found it a bizarre and somewhat ridiculous thing to do.
