>>>Does Samson have a belt buckle?<<<

He doesn't, certainly not one above his crotch. I took Samson's mention of it as a line of dialogue written before Quitely designed the character.

ABToG's analysis in the post above is pretty spot on though.

Glad you're all enjoying the show.

Digi-inking/colouring #4 almost done. Last cover I tackle before Vin takes over duties. Hope this finds you all well.

Aw the best,

Most excellent, Jamie. Thanks for saying hi.

Spaniel

20:18 / 20.05.06

You, my friend, are doing a sterling job.

FinderWolf

01:28 / 21.05.06

Yes, excellent work on the series, Jamie -- and let's not forget your work on We3, which I and many, many others loved as well. (love the colors on the new cover of the We3 paperback, very Easter Egg!)

Color-wise I'm thinking particularly of the colors that ramped up the suspense in the Fortress in All-Star Supes #2 as a highlight (no pun intended). The digi-inking process must be interesting...I guess it's basically scanning pencils, adding some darker line weight to some of the lines that need it, or darker tone in some areas, and then coloring the pages?

Jamie Grant

Hi FinderWolf, Matt BoBoss et al,

Thx for We3 & All*Star praise. *beam*

Learnt colouring on underground Northern Lightz. This strictly commercial stuff thou' is high stakes and totally consuming - but satisfying. Get choice pointers from Vin and Grant. Good teams make a difference!

Yeah FinderWolf, digi-inking process is simply: scanning Vin's immaculate pencil lines, contrast to make darker line, bolster some lines where they need it and start colouring. Starting my last and final attack run on #4 this morning at the studioffice armed with pot of freshly ground filtered kwaffee. No sleep 'til Wednesday hand in.

Hope this finds you all well, you beautiful mutants...

Wow, so cool. Didn't know the Lith had such visiting...

I'm thinking Jamie won't be coming back so I think I can say this without embarassing myself. I had never noticed the coloring (/"inking"?) on comic books (Never had the habit of reading comics until a few years back. And even then mostly Morrison's) until I realized I was staring-drooling at some of the All Star pages for too much time (it all started with those two pages of Supes receving the news about his death from Quintum) and made me go see the guy's name on such work.
(so really, too cool for Jamie Grant to appear like that)

Question aside:
Does anyone know if DC will be continuing the All Star Supes after Morrison leaves? Will it be a new continuity line or a closed case deal meaning '12 Morrison issues book with a end'? Is Morrison free to do whatever he wants like a DK or Red Son or is it like the Nu-Xmen run?

This Sunday

20:00 / 21.05.06

No one's ever fully free to do what they want in professional publishing. Somebody's overseeing, and if it isn't the publisher, the editor, or what have you, it's the government or the audience. Such is life.

ASSupes is not tied to external continuity, though, so from that standpoint, it could have Clark Kent become a purple-eyed giraffe for the rest of his life, and it wouldn't have to be reflected anywhere else.

Presumably, the series will continue without Morrison, as long as any other All-Star series runs. Because these are commercial serials, before anything else.

And do we even know if Morrion's only on for twelve issues? Maybe that's just this initial storyline.

FinderWolf

20:01 / 21.05.06

To my knowledge, no one at DC has commented either way on what happens after Moz' 12 issues (or Frank Miller's stint, which is likely to be expanded to more issues with Neal Adams in talks to draw).

And we can all expect All-Star Wonder Woman #1 to come in about 1 year as we ramp up to the movie...

Spaniel

20:13 / 21.05.06

Considering that Jamie is trying to get onboard the next Scottish Barbemeet, I think it's more than possible that he'll be back.

H3ct0r L1m4

21:17 / 21.05.06

are there Barbemeets? I must look more at other sections...

thanks for stopping by, Jamie, and for the info on the process; I'll forward this to illustrator buddies.

ASS will probably go on without Moz; just hoping he has more than 12 issues in him.

LDones

21:21 / 21.05.06

It'll be a crime if All-Star Wonder Woman isn't written and drawn by Darwyn Cooke.

The Falcon

21:54 / 21.05.06

Call the cops, then, cos it's going to be Geoff. Johns. and Adam Hughes.

Mug Chum

00:29 / 22.05.06

Don't know why I assumed it would be a closed book like DK, Red Son or Arkham Asylum.

This Sunday

02:07 / 22.05.06

Barbara Kesel writes, with art duties split between Jill Thompson (Amazaonian Island etherea, all flowy lithe fullness) and Amanda Conner (Gendered World Extant, filled with them man-things, pointy and polluted and confused, empty space), operating as a blatant psychoanalytical metaphor thingy, with ropes and swords and the occasional flaglike swimsuit and eagle-esque armor. Colors by Lynn Varley.

There's an 'All Star Wonder Woman', especially if Diana gets to stab people frequently. And lecture on peace and love. Yes.

Everything is fake, or place-holder. Or, y'know, just something different from what I'd like.

(And, no none of those were chosen specifically because they were women. I just sat down and thought of who I like to see do the series the most. On relook, it's all women, with the far extreme hope being CLAMP, and I've begun wondering if women ever get to do a 'Wonder Woman' series.)

D Terminator XXXIII

02:56 / 22.05.06

My perfect asWW would be Liefeld on text and Gaiman/Morrison on art. With the occasional fill in art by Loeb. Think about it. It'd outsell everything else.

Dead Megatron

21:19 / 22.05.06

Liefeld? LIEFELD? That retard fuck with the mind of a 12 year old wanker can't even count how many teeth a mouth has, for George Perez's sake!!! Hell be damned, he's almost as bad as Todd McFarlane, as far as human anatomy goes...

Sniv

22:21 / 22.05.06

I'm thinking that The Spunkmaculate Båmbling may have been pulling a leg with that one DM, although I would like to see some more GM art somewhere (preferably with Cameron on inks like that lush page in the Invisibles).

In ASWW they should change it and man her into a man!!1! I mean, most comics readers are men, why do they want to read about fictional women written by men? Give us more men I say. Oh, and I want Leifeld on art too. Make him letter the fucker as well. And staple it. Then give it to me. For free.

H3ct0r L1m4

16:18 / 23.05.06

in a media mostly dominated by men, which woman can be considered a star writer to take on ASSWW?

I wanna grab the new ASS, but it's so far...

H3ct0r L1m4

16:27 / 23.05.06

just to set it straight: nothing against female writers, I simply can't pick a popular name out of the hat.

I'd say my former editor [and current Cannes-aspirant] Alex DeCampi, but most Comic readers would say, "who?"

The Falcon

16:32 / 23.05.06

Gail Simone, dude.

Aertho

18:06 / 23.05.06

I'd really like Jill Thompson back on Wonder Woman. She deisgned things. Like geometric Roman gods versus identical, but curly-styled Greek ones. Nice touches. Paired up with Ms. Simone, it'd be swell.

But really, I'd just someone to write Diana well, with a solid plot, interesting hooks, and a real "core essence" story. I'm really thinking an All-Star book for Princess Di needs to be Golden Age.

Think New Frontier's prequel or something.

FinderWolf

So how did it go, Monseuir Grant?

Jamie Grant

18:16 / 02.06.06

Hi FinderWolf,

Bob 'n' Brandon gave an extra week's grace to get fourth issue just right rather than rush last changes to the words, text and colouring. Glad to say it's another rare read.

Can't wait to enjoy 6 issues together when DC release the first compilation. With the attention breaking adverts removed the whole thing will just flow.

Aw the best.

FinderWolf

02:32 / 03.06.06

Cool, thanks for the update! Looking forward to reading it (and yes, the trade should be fantastic).

Mario

OK... Quitely wins.

Oh God bless himself! This is so good!
Neverending SuperDaddyIssues.

When is #4 coming out again!? My sun batteries are in the need of some recharge...

Krypto = Bandit

IS GUD.

That pic really conveys a disturbed, not just grief-ridden, but an UNSETTLED Superman...one whose faith and optimism is seriously shaken. That's more dramatic to me than just Superman shedding a tear, crying, or shouting "Nooo!" holding a dead Supergirl, etc.

Krypto looking up at his master with a concerned look is even more heartbreaking.

And of course, Morrison channels not only his thoughts on 'middle age' through All-Star Supes, but the death of his own father as well through Jonathan Kent's death. It all lines up.

This Sunday

18:18 / 04.06.06

That's an 'I can't process this,' look, that is. This isn't the movie, he's not going to slingshot around the planet and somehow go back in time (never quite understood, even as a kid, how that was supposed to objectively work. If he can go so fast he's already there before he's gone... why does it have to be in a circle around the earth? Why not just run laps on a track or back and forth to the moon? Or punch it? But, here, solidly, this is... if he does it for himself, does he have to then rescue everyone from death... or let them die? Presuming he can. There's your immovable and unstoppable, right with his own mortality hanging somewhere on the horizon.

H3ct0r L1m4

18:31 / 04.06.06

that was a metaphor for literally making the world turn backwards. he was travelling in time, actually, to fulfill the egotistical urge of bringing Lois back. not egotiscal enough to bring Pa Kent back, but still.

FinderWolf

Grant Mozzer will be appearing in person at the Forbidden Planet in Union Square, NYC Friday June 9, from about 12 pm - 3 pm or something like that. Saw a pamphlet there last week and spoke to the people at the store about it. Too bad I have to work at Ye Olde Office. Just wanted to let any NYC Lithers know. Morrison is rarely on this side of the pond doing signings/store appearances, to my knowledge, esp. outside of the convention circuit.
