I’ve often discussed a lot of the basics of professionalism in my own commentary, and yeah, most modern corporate comic people are not professional in any sense of the term. So it is good to see all the good ones in one place like this.

As always, thank you for offering some of the best and most intelligent commentary online.

Good to hear this one has a better start to it at least, and I hadn’t even made the connection before about Carlin having edited a weekly serial with Superman. (you did too as I recall)

Countdown was such a mess. It was weird as I love alternate history stories and it starred three of my favorite characters Kyle Rayner ::ducks::, Donna Troy and the Atom Ray Palmer. Heck I had kept a streak alive of having ever single appearance of Kyle I liked him so much.

Yet Countdown was SO horrible, that the streak ended really quickly.

I think this approach sounds much smarter. I don’t like the characters being used enough to follow it, at least weekly, but at least they have learned some lessons from past efforts.

Lead time?… In comics?

What’s that?

BTW, I loved that issue!

Of course, with a limited series one need not keep up the speeds suggested (although Bagley probably can, it’s not much different from his page speed for Ultimate Spider-Man) nor go without vacation. One merely has to start with a longer lead time. Start with a month extra lead time, and Bagley can get some time on the beach. And having a rested artist is better than having one that flips out and draws all the characters as monkeys in issue 41.

Oh, wait. No it’s not.
