DOOM PATROL 7

Started this week. Not sure how much I will get done before I plunge into periodontal hell next week. Won't be getting any work done after that, as I will be restricted to the first floor until the predicted wooziness goes away. Which also means that for a while I won't be posting here or on the new board after Tuesday of next week.

Looks like fun, can I go first?

Oh man, I don't envy you that at all. Good luck and I hope it's not too traumatic.

...and the last thing you need to be sitting in front of when woozy is a PC monitor!

Good luck with the surgery, John! Thanks for the patience you showed on this board, and the generosity of your time. I won't be joining y'all on the new board, but I'm grateful for the past year or so.

Looking forward to DP ! Get well soon

JB,

For the duration, get yourself a nice live-in nurse...and a cook...and a maid...

All redheads, of course.

Best of luck to you, JB. We'll all be crossing our fingers that everything goes as well as possible and your discomfort is kept to a minimum. Say, on the level of a stubbed toe.

Well, you ARE in the fantasy business!

Issue 7 already...Is it the beginning of the fourth arc?

Thank you for your time, John, and for all the thoughts and wonderful art you share with us. I wish you the best for the following weeks.

Ghis.

What are the chances of getting someone like, oh say, Frank Miller or George Perez to do a couple of "fill-ins" for you while you are out?

Deep relaxation before oral surgery can often benefit post-procedure recovery. Regardless, best of luck and get well soon so that we may talk and continue to enjoy your artistic talent.

Perhaps you can do a story where Rita at near microsize protects Grunt from oral surgery.

I just keep thinking it has got to be a pretty nasty dental disorder for you to have to go under like that. Impacted Wisdom teeth that never came out, a series of root canals, dental implants.

In any case, ick.

Good Luck, JB!

Hope your surgery goes well, JB

Last week, I went to the dentist and had a chipped wisdom tooth remove, so I can relate. And I hope you're feeling better afterwards.

Best wishes for a successful procedure and speedy recovery, JB.

If you see Steve Martin (or the late Laurence Olivier) in the office, come back another day!

Wow - at this rate you could be done with #12 before the head honchos have enough sales data to decide whether or not to expand on their 12-issue commitment. What happens then?

Personally, I think you should post immediately after the surgery, while still well under the influence. It wouldn't be fun for you, but it would be HYSTERICAL for us!

Be brave!

Well, I am optimistic that you and another DC project will get together.

Question: would you work on a character (writing and pencils) for which you had no real affection if DC said "This book is failing; see what you can do with it?" That is to say, you get to do the character any way you want, it's just not someone you've wanted to do.

Sure. When DC asked me to do AMAZON I thought it was one of the dumbest ideas I had ever heard, but I was tired of other people making small fortunes off projects I declined, so I agreed to do the book. Ended up being one of the most fun projects I've worked on.

Mind you, if they asked me to do "Dark Binky" it might be another matter. . .

Six issues before # 1 even hits the stands... whoa.
Good luck at the dentist, JB....

Have a good recovery

Take it easy and allow yourself to recover. Consider that you have 6 issues done before issue 1 hits the stands while out here in the world we're still waiting for the completion of some mini-series' that are only 4-6 issues long after more than a year!

That said . . .
I've had several surgeries over the last couple of years and only recently have I heeded my own advice. I always feel I have to get things done!

Wow, a week off...

If Brian Hitch took a week off he'd be so far behind they would have to cancel the 2nd volume of ULTIMATES.

Oh, wait....

Anyway. good luck, John.

You mean that's why they cancelled Volume 2 of The Ultimates, and here I thought it was because they completely destroyed the Avengers morals in the story.
