Catwoman: The Replacements
by Josh Crawley
Who am I? I offer comic books.
Whether it’s for Westfield Comics for my paycheck or for my good friend Jim Heffron, Lawdog Comics Publisher, at a convention (Windy City Comicon is coming up in just about three weeks), that’s what I do. In my spare time I likewise letter a funny book story right here or there. when in a extremely excellent while I even get the desire to write. It’s not as great as a few of my corroborators here, however I’m okay with that. For now. I may have beloved Smith in my sights. (Note to self: checked out about the tattoos!)
I am likewise a passionate person who drinks beer while composing blog entrances as well as complains about things on occasion. By “on occasion” I may mean more commonly than not. When it comes to complaining about comic books, though, keep in mind it’s since I’m passionate as well as I care. I’m likewise going to throw a curve sphere out as well as not grumble at all today. On this blog, that is. In person or on Twitter is a totally different matter altogether.
Anyways…
I was sitting at dinner last Friday night with a decent sized group of people; eighteen in all. since of the whirlwind of happenings, I can’t keep in mind everybody I was seated with, however I do recall Chris Neseman from the around Comics podcast as well as windy City Comicon! I likewise keep in mind who sat between Chris as well as I: will Pfeifer (PY-fer). It’s Will’s graphic novels (a bit pretentious for me, however it gets the task done) I want to remind you about. Not the ones on his shelves, as I haven’t seen those, however the ones he’s written.
H.E.R.O.: Powers as well as Abilities
I very first checked out Will’s work in the days of H.E.R.O.: Powers as well as Abilities, which collects the very first six problems of the 22 problems series. H.E.R.O. is an extension of the Dial H for Hero concept. Sadly, I never did get to surface reading this. I requirement to go to my short boxes soon, since I’m quite sure I bought every problem even when I didn’t discover time to checked out them.
Will likewise had a fun run with Patrick Gleason in Aquaman #15-22 (Volume 4 in our back problem system, however volume 6 according to Wikipedia). We got a quite remarkable Aquagirl out of that run. Patrick Gleason ended up on a bit comic by the name of eco-friendly lantern Corps.
While I didn’t understand as well much about Captain Atom at the time, I do like a dose of WildStorm! In Captain Atom: Armageddon, will composed what I think about to be a excellent WildStorm world dilemma (before we were beaten over the head with the word dilemma a bit as well often) that paved the method for the world storm relaunch. anyone who’s a WildStorm U visitor that didn’t checked out this is seriously missing out. then again, the exact same goes for DCU readers, too. It’s a nice contrast as well as comparison between the two. Giuseppe Camuncoli drew some quite photos here, too.
Most recently, will had a rather prolonged run on the most recent Catwoman series (issues #44-82, the series’ final issue). A great chunk of these problems are reprinted in the complying with books: The Replacements, It’s only A Movie, Catwoman Dies, criminal offense Pays, as well as The long road Home.
Wonder Woman: Amazons Attack
That isn’t all will has done. He made his major publisher debut on Finals, with Jill Thompson. He’s likewise scripted both Amazons assault (with some excellent Pete woods art) as well as Blood of the Demon (with John Byrne). I’m not sure what he’s going to be working on next, however I wouldn’t mind seeing it drawn by Mike Norton!
