Dead Air


Sorry for the pause -- this Munich essay is turning into a bear, as the politics are wrapped up in something of a fair bit of relevance to the Spec-Monkeys, so I don't want to just toss it off.

In the meantime, for the comic geeks, I had dinner with Waid, Johns, Heinberg and crazed (in a good way) Dan Didio last night. Heard about all sorts of DC coming down the pike, and I may take a run at another Post-Crisis title, will keep you updated. At some point we'll spit out some more BB stuff.

In the meantime, congrats to BOOM! Studios for winning Wizard's "Best New Publisher" nod, and there's a preview for Giffen's new book here.

Yeah, the envy here in my corner of geekland is strong.

Here's the big post-Crisis question: will they finally create that post-apocalyptic Cheeks the Toy Wonder series Cheex? It'd dominate the sales charts.

John,

Did I mention how much I hate the fact you are living my Earth-2 life?

Just tell me right now that DC has a new series of Captain Carrot. That's all I need to know. You can keep the rest of the secrets till later.

But CC and the Zoo Crew? We cannot wait any longer.

Ask Keith who he based Cheeks on. Keith reads the comments here, put a hook in the water, he'll bite.

Best,

I just hope the DCU will be less dark after all this is over. I live in Asia and you can't really get US comics here.

I just heard what happened in IC#4. Man, Superboy has changed. Poor Risk. The Dan Jurgens run was where I first became a Titans fan. But as long as Argent comes through IC okay I'll be happy. Because she's that cool in my book. I so hope Johns uses her Titans sometime.

And gives us more Flamebird. Because Bette rules.

Hey, you know what? I'd like to know the secret origin of Cheeks The Toy Wonder.

Did you all talk about when Ted Kord will be coming back to comics? ;)

Hey John, tell that Heinberg putz to get back to The O.C. There has been, like, no comic book geekery on the show this season. I dunno what the hell I'm watchin' it for anymore.

Wait...what's Heinberg gonna be doing at DC? I've really been digging his Young Avengers over at Marvel.

P.S.

I use the term "putz" affectionately, from one tribe member to another.

Yes. For hours.

I am supremely annoyed, however, that because of the structure of IC, Johns gets to write a scene I would have given my eyeteeth to do. Booster and Jaime and ... well, you'll see.

Can't blame a guy for being optimistic


Are you talking about the scene in IC #4 or is there another scene between Booster and Jamie coming up?

I don't think you are looking for information on Warren Barnes. I don't think you are looking for information on him at all! I think you are Warren Barnes!

If Ted Kord was alive he would kick your butt. Oh yes he would! Alas....

IC #5, Booster takes Jaime somewhere ... interesting.

GM Doug said...

Is it for a tour of an ice cream bar factory?

Awh come on people that HAS to be interesting. I mean how do they get the ice cream inside all the chocolate without melting the chocolate or all the ice cream?

Do you super freeze the ice cream and dip in melted chocolate? Do you super freeze the chocolate and then pour the ice cream in and then use some sort of chocolate welder?

Is there another super secret way to do this?

Anyway Booster and the new kid going somewhere interesting you say? Mmmm is it the future? Is it the past wait ... It's earth 6 isn't it!

IF I'm right does that mean DC will pull a Captain Atom and make it Earth Prime or something? Or the Malibu Universe?

... I'll get me coat.

Damn. Throw in Warren Ellis, Ben Edlund and Joss Whedon, and my head would officially explode from the coolness of that.

Ross Richie said...

Hokay, can't get Keith to bite.

SECRET ORIGIN OF CHEEKS:

It's based on his son, who was an infant at the time, and sat around not really saying anything.

So if Cheeks is his son, what's that make Ambush Bug?...
