Also really enjoyed Guy Gardner and Mr Terrific. Seeing Guy Gardner made me miss my friend Keith Giffen who wrote Guy so well in Justice League (not Gang). But I like thinking about and remembering my time working with Keith, so even that sadness was good.

Saw Superman today. It was nice for a Superman movie to have characters that cared more about saving the lives of innocent people than killing the bad guy. So seems like a solid shift in the right direction.

They might as well have labeled that “how to become a super villain in three easy steps!”

I might be in trouble. I’m beginning to suspect that this hotel is a front for Cobra, the ruthless organization determined to rule the world!

That is adorable. And good work!

My heart goes out to his wife Kathleen and all of his children.

I grew up reading his Hulk and X-Factor. Then I had the pleasure of being his editor at Marvel on Captain Marvel, Madrox the Multiple Man, the X-Factor revival series and then Fallen Angel over at IDW. I absolutely loved working with him.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Peter David. I probably have more comics written by him than any other comics writer.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Vince. I am still super proud to have been a part of MIRACLES and to have gotten to know you through it!

No, sir! ONS Printing will continue. I'm staying for a few months but my whole team that you worked with is staying in place so you'll get the same great service as last time. And I'm honored you'd like to use us again. FULL TILT was just an awesome book to be a small part of. Thank you!
