Paul Pope's been among my top five favorite artists for the last several years, and I honestly think he's reached new peaks with 100% and his issue of SOLO, but Pope's self-created fashionista/artiste persona has always been a bit silly. Not that I want it to go away - like Grant Morrison, Pope's one of the rare personalities in comics that 'pops' - but yeah, WIRED has definitely been lured in by his cult of personality. I figure YEAR 100 to sell about as well as other quirky, Batman prestige projects, stuff like GOTHAM COUNTY LINE. Maybe less, actually, as Pope's style is leagues away from what's commercial for DC readers. That’s pretty amusing.
