Woo hoo! Congrats, Peter (and Leonard and Robin, all some of my favorite comics people)!

That's all I need to know. If this comes together, I will buy it. As a proud owner of one of Leonard's fabulous JSA pages, I was very sad to see him dismissed from the book, and I wouldn't be here if I wasn't a PAD fan. Bring it on!

Yay...

Hope to hear more from it soon.

It is just me or Dreamwave is really doing a good job in several ways branching out from a publisher that was working mostly with american manga and now is becoming a publisher with a wider range of titles.

PLEASE announce which issue of Diamond Previews will start the series. Almost missed Turtles.

Great Peter. That's fantastic. Looks like I'll be adding another comic to my pull list then... getting to be a regular thing with you isn't it? TMNT: Animated, now Fallen Angels next week (which I can't wait to review), and now this. Things are certainly looking up!

will it also star Hailey Luyah

Or maybe a leaping hero called "Jumping Jehosaphat"

Maybe you could have a character called Lord Amercy --- ok, i'll quit now ...

Peter, I always wondered when you would do your own creator-owned comic book for the mass market. It's about time. I can't friggin' wait!!!

Personally, though, I think it should feature Nuck 'n Futz, since those names were canned in the first issue of Young Justice. Coincidentally, in the upcoming comedy Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, which comes out Sept. 5th, David Spade plays a former 70's child star whose sitcom character was famous for the phrase "This is Nuck 'n Futz!", which would never have been allowed on a TV sitcom in the 70's.

Hey, how come nobody ever tells me these things? :)

Seriously, glad things are moving forward on this, Peter, and I'm sure Robin hopes (as I know I do!) that it's far more than "possibly." But then, I've thought for awhile now that he and Leonard make a dynamite team.

Yes, especially when Robin is wearing that black mask and snappy yellow cape...

Is the funk on you?

Hey! I didn't know you'd seen the photos. Glad you like the cape.

Dang it Robin! Quit cavorting around in the cape, and get some more scans of your original art for sale online! (and bigger versions of the pics you do have up there). Pretty please???

I need something for my wife to browse when she's shopping for my Anniversary/X-Mas/Birthday presents...

Great News! Any thought about doing another Sachs and Violins series? I just reread that series not too long ago. That was fun stuff.

Best,

Jason

"Glory B."?

Is this the cleaned-up version of your previously-mentioned Flying Fu-- no, forget I asked...

Short and Sweet: YAAAAYYY!!!!!

Yep, can't wait.

Let's speculate about this mystery series. "Glory B." Well, if it were a cute cartoon book, it would be entitled "Glory Bee." Since it isn't the kind of things PAD does...

...then, let's assume that it's a superhero team. The best hero team in this universe would be the A team, so "Glory B" has to be the second string.

And the word "Glory" has religious connotations, so perhaps these are angels or religious-themed heroes. For the guy who created Wally the God-Boy, this isn't surprising. Playing the team as being members of various religious faiths, working together, would allow him to get into comparative religion, a fertile and controversial topic that would immediately get the book attention.

So, I'm guessing this is the second-rate, multifaith group of superheroes, striving to prove they are every bit as good as "Glory A," trying to stay a united team despite their religious and cultural differences. Yep, that's about it.

You're doing a comic book about a Carnival cruise ship???

I have to admit, it is rather ambitious..!

Wow. That's impressive.

I mean, it's completely wrong, but it's impressive.

Funny, I thought Wally created PAD. :0)

PAD, Leonard and Robin are getting back together? This is simply the best news I've read about in months! Best wishes for success on the new series.

Best thing I see here is that it's 'creator-owned', and that means no messing with your creations later.

BTW, Dreamwave are really picking up steam, aren't they?

Creator Owned properties.

Peter correct me if I am wrong but didn't you and George Perez create Sachs and Violens.

Eventhough this comic was produced by Marvel I thought that you owned the rights to these characters.

Since you posted the artwork for Fallen Angel, thought I'd let you know what I thought(I just read the first issue--retailer perogative on DC Sneak Peeks)

Overall, a good start I thought. Interesting characters, mysterious protagonist, nifty twists of plot.

Only problem was some really bad exposition when Boxer talks to Slate. I mean, two big word panels of Boxer telling Slate stuff that clearly Slate would already know. It just screamed "THIS IS FOR THE READERS".

Other than that though, a good start. Looking forward to the next issue.

I'm glad you're reuniting with Leonard. I was gutted when I discovered he was being taken off JSA. His work reminds me of Jerry Ordway. I don't think either artist will ever be fashionable. Sadly, it seems superb storytelling technique and excellent draughtsmanship will never compete with lots of scratchy lines and enormous bosoms for the affections of your average slavering fanboy. At least Leonard will always get work, if not proper recognition.

You're quite good as well, Pete.

I can't wait. It will be so good to have you and Leonard and Robin together again.

YEAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!

It's moments like that that remind me of a sequence in "The Great Muppet Caper," in which Diana Rigg's character pours out her entire life's history to Miss Piggy. Piggy says, "Why are you telling me this?" Rigg responds with a shrug, "It's exposition. It has to go somewhere."

We're talking brand new characters, brand new environment. In introducing Slate and Boxer I figured, Screw it. Let's spell it out. I rather take the chance of some readers feeling it was spoonfed than having a single reader going, "I'm too confused, so I'm dropping the series."

Don't you just miss 3rd-person (or even 1st-person) narrative captions?

Don't you just?

P.S. This is welcome news, by the way...

Ah, what great timing.

My wife and I are working on a new story, using characters we've used in other stories, but we want it to be accessible to new readers, and during one of the scenes last night she quoted that line to me.

Yet another time that the two of you seem to think alike.

Yeah, I figured. I also figured you're a better writer than that though. Far be it for me to tell you how to write, but it seemed like an easy fix. Have Boxer talking to another guy who's new in town, who wouldn't know all that.

I'm sure Slate will be important later, but you could intro him next issue.

Regardless, it's not a huge deal. I guess I'm so sick of bad exposition is really grabs my attention. Like in the Hulk movie where Banner and Betty have their conversation about "their past". Some of the worst exposition I've heard in a while.

Anyway, hope Fallen Angel sells well. I ordered about the same as I did for Supergirl, so we'll see.

Given the frequency with which Joe and I think alike (we're practically long-lost brothers), this is kinda scary...

Am I supposed to be attracted to PAD now, or something? ;)

Yeah, I figured. I also figured you're a better writer than that though.

I'm NEVER sure how to respond to that...
