>Could it get any better?
Well yeah Bill could be doing more of his own stuff, his short in oni double feature was a lot of fun.
There are a lot of thing he could be working on...
I'm working on animation and concept work for Cyclops Entertainment, a Batman/Joker miniseries that I'll both write and illustrate, two series with my former partner in crime Frank Miller, a special limited edition hardcover version of Stray Toasters, published by Grafitti Designs, with the trade paperback version by Oni Press ...and working on a new comics series of my own. This was not a good time to switch to decaf!"

Lapham is a good if not riviting writer, so DC will probably have my money twice for the issues & collection. I hope they get a colourist who can work well with Bills linework. Sheri van Valkenbergs stuff mostly worked on batgirl/joker, better than their wolverine book which got a bit murky at times. Marvel team-up could have been worse when you look at other marvel comics but there are some b/w scans on jinxworld & graphiccollectibles.com that look so much clearer
And the Neal Adams influences are still there if you look for them, although I try not to. |

It should be fantastic. Although part of me misses the days when a quality creative team was on a book for a while, they didn't just do "arcs". Then again, we've got Loeb & McGuiness doing a nice open-ended run on the surprisingly fun BATMAN & SUPERMAN, Greg Rucka saying he wants at least 2 years on his intruiging WONDER WOMAN, and Ed Brubaker's open-ended great writing on CATWOMAN. And we did get Morrison on JLA for 3+ years and now 3 years of Morrison NEW X-MEN, open-ended until recently.
