Year: 2004

Tom Brevoort sent me a photocopy of the Lee Weeks cover for the first issue of “Tempest Fugit.” I have to say, it looks absolutely kick-butt. My understanding is that it’s going to appear in an upcoming issue of “Wizard,” along with an interview with me about “Hulk.” Should be interesting since it’s the first time in quite a while that Wizard has spoken to me extensively about, well, anything. In any event, at some point in the future when we have a fully colored version, I’ll post it here.

Also, C.B. and the Marvel editors have approved my script for “What If General Ross Had Become the Hulk?” Here’s the summary that I wrote up for the solicits (I don’t know that this is what it will say word for word, but it was my description.)

“Meet again, for the first time, General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross…a veteran army officer who believes that the time for talk is long past, and all that matters is his country’s ability to develop weapons that will annihilate its enemies. Experience with him what happens when he himself becomes the mightiest weapon on two legs…but is trapped within that weapon, unable to communicate with former allies who only want to destroy him.”

I have been informed by Tim Lynch that he has been absent from here recently since he has been wholly involved with the arrival of his daughter this past Friday at 5:49 PM, weighing in at 6 lbs 11 ounces and measuring 19.5 inches.

And I’m pleased to announce that, in a show of solidarity, the child has been named “Fallen Angel Lynch.”

Peterdavid.net frequenter Tom Galloway is gonna be doing “Win Tom Galloway’s Money, modelled after Comedy Central’s Win Ben
Stein’s Money,” at the World Science Fiction Convention (Noreascon), on Thursday September 3rd at 10:00 p.m. Other board regular and second-coming of me, Keith DeCandido, is going to be the Jimmy Kimmel sidekick. Tom was looking for possible categories that would be punned riffs off some aspect of sf, fantasy, or comics, such as authors, artists, actors, characters, or editors in the fields, titles of books, movies, tv shows, comics, etc,or general concepts such as robots, spaceships, mythical creatures,etc.

Below are the categories I suggested. If you bright guys have any others, feel free to suggest them.

Ages ago, around the time of U-Decide, Glenn pointed out to me that Bill Jemas had, shockingly, not locked up www.billjemas.com. “Ohhh, Glenn, get it for me, would’ja?” I asked. And Glenn did. And after having some giggles at Bill’s expense, I publicly stated that if he wanted to take it off our hands, we wouldn’t cybersquat on it. Never heard from him.

Until recently.

So just to let you guys know, with any luck www.billjemas.com will be undergoing new management and will be the launchpoint for…well, for whatever Bill Jemas is going to do next.

…so you can go check it out there ’cause I’m not going to reprint the entirety of someone’s blog entry since–y’know–one really shouldn’t do that.

And fortunately enough, I don’t feel like I’m in a pìššìņg match with Brian, because ultimately we’re after the same thing: To sell comics. But he makes a couple of points worth addressing specifically…
