*** Log file opened: 6/17/98 8:07:35 PM <pencillerguy> howdy, sean <pencillerguy> . . .and everybody else <Ashen-Shugar> Hi Craig <Teensdc> We're off to a slow start, Craig, but a few folks are showing up a little later. Just like any party. <Ashen-Shugar> Just without the beer :) <Teensdc> My phone line is down at home, btw, I had to drive back to work and log on there to make the chat. PHew. <Teensdc> And watch my daughter at the same time. <pencillerguy> well, Ash, maybe not where YOU"RE sittin' . . . <Teensdc> Certainly not where my daughter's sitting ... <g> <Ashen-Shugar> Hey! A kegger! <Teensdc> Loved the recent issue of Impulse, btw. A great blend of slapstick and seriousness. You guys are hitting your stride now, I think. <pencillerguy> Sean, thanks . . . i think we're starting to get somewhere, too <Ashen-Shugar> If I start acting a little...crazy...you'll...know...I'm...zzzzzzzz....Where am I again? Gabrie1 [~Gabrie1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.wv.us.ibm.net] has joined #DCung <Teensdc> Current events tying into ongoing plotlines perhaps? <Teensdc> HOwdy Gabby, welcome to the chat. <Gabrie1> Hi <pencillerguy> so, next issue is a great story by jason hernandez-rosenblatt and <Teensdc> so, gabby, what questions do you have for Craig? <Teensdc> Arrowette, yes!!!! Can't wait. <Gabrie1> I'm thinking.:) <pencillerguy> ethan Van Sciver (who did a great job in Flash giant this week) <Teensdc> which one was his (in the 80 page giant)? <pencillerguy> Sean, he and Todd Dezago did the Impulse story (naturally) <Teensdc> Just glance at it. Haven't read anything yet. did get a copy of the YJ promo stuff though, still bagged. If you ever need someone to do a fill in when you're busy, get Nauck. <pencillerguy> hopefully Arrowette 'll show up again when I can draw the story <Teensdc> His YJ poster is awesome. Have you seen it? <Teensdc> I'd love to see your rendition of Suzie. <Teensdc> ashen, you still here with us? <Ashen-Shugar> Speaking of YJ: any future guest-appearances by the YJ team? <pencillerguy> i've seen the first few issues in B/W <pencillerguy> from what i've seen it looks great (i did a fige page sequence fer Skyrocket [~Skyrocket@xxxxxxxxxx.skyenet.net] has joined #DCung <pencillerguy> YJ 1 million) <Teensdc> Lucky you. I've just seen bits and pieces on the web from scans. <Teensdc> Howdy Skyrocket. Glad you could make it. <Teensdc> Craig is pencillerguy (in case you did'nt guess already) <Skyrocket> Sorry, I'm late. i was reading the Flash 80 pager. Nice work on that, Craig. <pencillerguy> thanks, Skyrocket <Teensdc> Oh yeah, suck up to him right off the bat. <g> <Skyrocket> So what did I miss? <Teensdc> Not much so far. Craig would like to pencil and issue with Arrowette and Craig's a kegger. That about sums it up so far. <Teensdc> <g> <Skyrocket> Arrowette is in the issue being draw by Ethan Van Sciver right? <Teensdc> Any chance your version of Impulse could grace a poster anytime soon, Craig? <pencillerguy> yes, ethan's issue is with Arrowetee . . . <pencillerguy> Sean, heck, i'd love to do one if they ask <G> <Gabrie1> That'd be cool. <Skyrocket> What did you think of Arrowett's new costume? <Teensdc> I hope they ask. I'd love to have one for my office. Right between my Hal and Kyle poster and my Speed Force poster. <Teensdc> And across from the Alex Ross Superman one, of course. <pencillerguy> Skyrocket- not too jazzed about it actually ( the idea was a gag the first time around) <Skyrocket> Where do you think Bart is going as a chacter? <pencillerguy> . . . but i don't like Ramos' new look (altho his other work in that series ROCKS) <Gabrie1> I haven't seen her new costume. Are they're any pictures floating around on the web? <Ashen-Shugar> Do you feel any pressure to live up to Humberto's success on Impulse? <Teensdc> I don't like his art in WWG so far. I think he hit his peak on the early issue of Impulse and on X-Nation 2099. His WWG stuff is way to cartoony for me. And robin's legs ... ugh. <pencillerguy> Skyrocket. . .not too far, i hope (altho he starting to plan a little- not that it works, of course) <Teensdc> there's a b/w on the site in the scrapbook, Gab. <Gabrie1> Thanks;) <Skyrocket> I have to agree, teensdc. It wasn't was good as his DV9 work as either. <Teensdc> it's the WWG preview page, I think. <Skyrocket> I mean DV8. <Ashen-Shugar> Anyone seen his work on Crimson? <Teensdc> I think your Impulse is becoming the definitive one, Craig. <pencillerguy> i'm really diggin' his Crimson stuff lately, too <Teensdc> Just the previews, Ash. <pencillerguy> Sean, well, thanks, but i still think of Humberto's bart as Impulse <Skyrocket> Really? from what I heard Crimson hasn't been going over very well. <Teensdc> I prefer yours and Todd's. <Ashen-Shugar> That's because Humberto is the "other guy" in the Cliffhanger line. <Skyrocket> I don't think people will ever forget Humberto's Bart but they won't forget craiges either. <Teensdc> I didn't pick up Crimson. I run out of money after picking up DC and my 2-3 marvel books. <Ashen-Shugar> I think it'll take a few issues before people start noticing his work. <pencillerguy> todd's Impulse is alot more like Ringo's (bigger and a little more mature looking) <Skyrocket> Are there any other DC characters you would like to draw? <Teensdc> Did you ever find out how old Song of Justice was? Ashen-Shugar [~Ashen-Shugar@xxxx.etsc.net] has quit IRC (Ashen-Shugar has left the room) <Teensdc> any chance she'll be back soon. <pencillerguy> 'rocket . . . i just did a Capt.Marvel story with Dick Giordano and would LOVE to do some Batman animated stuff <Teensdc> did you ever answer about having YJ appear in Impulse, Craig? <Skyrocket> Wow, you on animated batman? Cool! <pencillerguy> sean, i don't think she's slated to return anytime soon <Skyrocket> Will there be any new additions to Bart's rouges gallery soon? <Teensdc> oh. she's a bit campy for the more serious tone, probably, anyway <pencillerguy> sean- actually there is a crossover in the works for the 3 books (that's all i know about it, tho) <Teensdc> cool. who's idea was the big black guy who drank up all the water? Yours or Bill's? <Gabrie1> Other than an appearance in Superboy and the Ravers and the early Young Justice stuff, There really hasn't been a team up between S-boy and Impulse. Will there be one? <pencillerguy> i can't think of any new villains we're planning on right now ( altho a ercenary team of villains show up in Manchester looking for somebody) <Skyrocket> Team Turmoil? <pencillerguy> oops- Mercenary <Teensdc> what about some of Flash's rogues gallery? maybe Captain Boomerang. that'd be fun. <Skyrocket> That would be cool. <pencillerguy> new charcters Bill thought up . . but the Flash's Rogues gallery play a part in next issue <dcteens> what about Secret making an appearance in Impulse? <Teensdc> cool. <pencillerguy> no secret yet, altho jesse quick stops by <Skyrocket> How do you see Bart's relationship with Max? <Teensdc> Craig, Tom Peyer just told me to tell you hello. <pencillerguy> 'rocket - very much a father/son thing ( altho i think Bill's max takes things too far) <pencillerguy> Sean - tell'm i said hello right back <Skyrocket> Yeah, he really flipped out in the last issue. It was great. <Skyrocket> Will we be seeing more of Carol and Preston? <Teensdc> I love the way the support cast is coming into the limelight a little more. Esp. Roland and Evil Eye. <Teensdc> And will you get a chance to draw XS anyting during chain lightning? Is it crosses over into IMpulse, that is. <pencillerguy> carol is showing up in the next few books, altho we don't see the others for a while <Skyrocket> I like how you've continued Humberto's tradition of hidding little things in the background. I still get a kick whenever I think of that Jay and Silent Bob cameo. <pencillerguy> I don't know anything 'bout Chain Lightning, but i hope we play a part in it <pencillerguy> 'rocket- thanks! Dexter was at the cookout in the last issue <Skyrocket> I must have missed him. i'll have to go back and look. <Teensdc> how 'bout helping us settle a discussion of the YJ board -- who'd win in a battle: YJ or the original Teen Titans if they were picked out of the timeline just after forming? <Gabrie1> That's a story I'd pay to read. <Skyrocket> They did something like that in Teens Titains. <pencillerguy> that's a good one (nostalgia makes me say TT, but they would be up against BART, so . . .) <Teensdc> Actually, I think Bart could outdo Kid Flash pretty quickly. A few video game moves and Wally'd go down like a fat-free cake at a Weight-Watcher's meeting. <Skyrocket> What chacter from other company do you think Impulse wuld be best suited to do a crossover with? <pencillerguy> i'd love to see a Monkeyman/ impulse book (becuase Art Adams is AMAZING)or a deadpool/bart story <Skyrocket> Deadpool, yes! <pencillerguy> Bart would manage to annoy just about anyone he came in contact with! <Skyrocket> Persoanlly, I think Top Cow's Velocity would be. coo. Both she and Bart are teens with super-speed. <Teensdc> I was thinking of the blond guy from Acclaim's Troublemaker's. I can't remember his name. <pencillerguy> alas, i haven't read either of those books (i'm actually a Vertigo reader, myself) <Skyrocket> How do you think other DC characters see Bart? <Teensdc> Vertigo. ooh. Highbrow of you Craig. Okay then, how 'bout Bart and Tim Hunter? <Skyrocket> Bart+Books of magic=troble! <Teensdc> big trouble. <pencillerguy> i think a lot of DC see him as an accident about to be caused. . . <Teensdc> hahahaha <pencillerguy> Bart and Tim Hunter . . .hmmmnnnnnn <Skyrocket> I couldn't have put it better. But didn't he make friends with some of the Soving 7? <Teensdc> maybe bill could "get a little idea" from craig here about this ... <Skyrocket> Rats, I have to go. My grandma wants to us the phone. I'll try to come back later. <Teensdc> What about having Reflex show up sometime. He and Bart did okay together in S7. Skyrocket [~Skyrocket@xxxxxxxxxx.skyenet.net] has quit IRC (Skyrocket has left the room) <Teensdc> brb <pencillerguy> can't say i've ever read S7 . . . <Teensdc> it started off good, then got way convoluted (sp?) dcteens [~dcteens@xxxxxxxx.ipt.aol.com] has quit IRC (dcteens has left the room) <Teensdc> Looks like things are starting to slow down. <pencillerguy> i sat next to Chris Claremont at San Diego last summer and just kinda nodded a lot trying to seem like i knew what he was talkin' about <Teensdc> It got to where you couldn't have a clue if you just glanced at a page. To me, a good story should be able to be understood at least somewhat by a cursury glance. <Teensdc> anything else to ask, Gab? <Gabrie1> I thought it was kinda borin' <Teensdc> Before we let Craig get on with his life... <pencillerguy> my big problem with his FF , actually <Teensdc> I haven't picked up FF. Course, i never was a big FF fan. I like Dr. Doom, but not FF. <Teensdc> brb again. watching my daughter is keeping me busy. <pencillerguy> life? what life? i've got impulse 43 to go work on <pencillerguy> OOOHHH! a Corey Feldman chat. . . <Gabrie1> I don't know if I got this one answered but will Superboy and Impulse will have a real one on one team up. <pencillerguy> i don't think it'll be just the two of 'm (i think robin's gonna tag along) <pencillerguy> but i could be wrong <Gabrie1> Rats. I thought it would be cool if we saw their first meeting. I got the feeling they all ready knew each other. *** Log file closed: 6/17/98 9:01:04 PM
