Johns co-wrote the powerless Superman story, didn't he? I really enjoyed that - but only from the library. Similarly, I'd get out his more recent work - especially Sinestro Corps - but even if I had a lot more spare cash and space than I do, I wouldn't buy it.
That's the second mention of the Sketchbook. I'll have to see if any are still available, or is all this likely to appear in the comics proper too?
That doesn't sound great, does it? Silly, cantankerous old bastard. And genius with it, but still.
I'm interested as to how the whole fascination with a certain vision of female loveliness in Glamourpuss is being taken in certain quarters of the hysterical blogosphere - you know, the ones who consider a zombie Mary Jane to be evidence of comics' intrinsic misogyny, rather than a sign that Marvel have already zombified every other iconic image they could think of. OK, I say 'interested', clearly what I mean is that the idea amuses me but I can't face searching the reality even for car-crash value.
