  1. Click on the links to find out!

    really funny. I listened to Pixies when I was in high school and then they went away and were briefly forgotten until now. It's like they have a legion of 16 year old rabid insane fans and I don't know where the hell they came from!!

  2. I have to say, his work on Animal Man didn't quite match with how Morrison handled that series. I have read a few books by him (World Without End) that where kind of ...eh. It seems though that alot of his work on Hellblazer has been forgotten. I don't even know if they ever re-issued 'Fear Machine' or 'Family Man'.

  3. I really liked Eccleson in the main role, but Tennant ain't bad and the stories have greatly improved. Just finished watching 'The Satan Pit'.

    I suppose Rose will no longer be apart of the show. Too bad, but at least Jackie won't be around anymore so that's not bad!

  4. hi. I'm new on the boards and I wanted to get everyone's opinion on this. I think that Jamie Delano is one of comic's most underrated writers. Most Hellblazer fans I know didn't pick up the book until Ennis was the main writer, and it seems that somewhere between Alan Moore's initial work on DC comics and Gaiman he has been forgotten.

    Besides crafting some solid stories that draw you in, I think Delano truly established the ground rules for the Vertigo line of books. He removed his universe far away from the DCU. Even Swamp Thing would meet up with Superman and Batman. It was one of the first comics published by DC that I can think of that really defied super-hero conventions.

    I also think it's pretty amazing that he took our hero who was essentially a background character and centered a comic around him without sacrificing the mystery around him, which made him intriguing to begin with.

    The later issues seem to deal more with JC's past and more human issues rather than 'Demon Yuppies from Hell'. All in all I see Delano as a pioneering talent who gave us mainstream comics that were head and shoulders above what anyone else offered at the time.
