Going to have Captain Lotharius stuck in my head all day now!

So sorry about Sea Guy. I feel similarly about my Manthing run with J.MDeMatteis. It never got what it was due, never got finished, and it was going interesting and amazing places. In many ways I see that as the precursor to the work I’ve done with you. X

“Maybe it's because I didn't have a childhood like everyone else that I don't idealise childish behavior.”

having been monetarily struggling since birth, it's always been a challenge getting our hands on and reading many of the books you and other comic legends wrote (legally that is...) but the test of publications failed us this time! Seaguy sounds like a tale that resonates deeply with us! Being good ol' American Gen Z-ers, we've had a deep frustration with the capitalism's death grip on the people around us. Why is everyone seemingly okay with being a slave to the system that is killing them? Why are people craving to be brainwashed by one thing or another? Is there anyone out there willing to take on the duties of being a mindful human being? Or are we as a nation (and perhaps world) destined to succumb to our fleeting desires and numb the pain of adulthood's lenses while those in power do everything their AI can to keep us there? Maybe Seaguy has the same conclusive answers that many of our ancestors came to time and time again...

Chapter III sounds an •awful• lot like The Last Jedi, actually!

Which in turn, is an •awful• lot like Godfather III.

That’s a High Compliment, by the way.

GM: Has Cameron Stewart unequivocally refused to draw SG3? Have you checked with him lately? Or is he persona non grata at DC, so that ship has sailed? Regardless, thanks for sharing and yes, the metaphor/conceit of the series was pretty straightforward to me, too. Love it still. Cheers!

Luke Skywalker can’t die because he hasn’t married and has has No Son -- and hasn’t fulfilled his vow to learn the ways of The Force and become a Jedi LIKE HIS FATHER, which he isn’t. Until he is.

He’s an Anti-Dad -- that’s why you have to kill him twice before he’ll die, like Dracula.

Or Mandraak. Or Vader.
