I can totally understand that. I liked the idea better myself when it was uncluttered; when heroes from either company met and no explanation was given (or needed) as to why they were occupying the same reality (Superman/Spider-Man, X-Men/Teen Titans...). Nowadays, there seem to be a lot of politics...

Hi Alan.

I was just wondering if you ever wanted to do, ever considered doing or were ever asked to do a DC/Marvel (or other inter-company) crossover. If the answer is yes to any of these, any thoughts as to which characters you would use?

Thanks for any responses.

Nice! I like that it doesn't have Spider-Man or Wolverine on it.

Can't say I'm thrilled about BMB writing it.

Marvel.com credits JR Jr. with the pencils. Weird.

Not displeased. It is quite simply that I don’t regard myself as an artist. I’m a storyteller. I despise the cult of celebrity, pretentiousness and ego that has made comics about illustration rather than story and character

Well said.

These are, like, my favorite comics ever.

That's your first post? Oh, the "you hit a nerve so I will trash your first post cause I'm stupid but I want you to look stupid" defence... Ah, very original. Anyway, what exactly am I defending? No nerves were hit and I didn't trash anything (you did, actually; twice). I was just openly wondering ...

I don't remember an Alan Davis promo either. Would love to see it.

Well, if certeanly the Sphinx isn't very central to Thor punching a griffing for 8 pages, you should have left the Sphinx out of your story, and just depict a griffin-headed monolith or whatever, without messing around with what is without doubt the hottest point in Marvel RECORDED history by far. ...

I've been noticing the staple problem too. They charge $3 a pop and can't even make the darn thing hold together??

The series didn’t sell well enough to justify a regular, or semi-regular, ClanDestine title. However, I’m currently working on three annuals for next year, FF, DD and Wolverine-- and though I can’t go into detail-- ClanDestine fans will not be disappointed (I hope). I should also mention that the T...

Paulo thanks for your support BUT be assured my use of the Sphinx was NOT a continuity lapse or mistake on my part. I was fully aware of the Sphinx’s established history in the Marvel Universe and I had good reason to ‘contradict’ it. Hopefully the reasons why will become a little clearer when the ...

I stand corrected, Pedro! Wow, I'd never even have figured out. I think there was a soft whisper at the back of my brain, but otherwise it went straight over my head. D'oh! That said, I kind of see the whole Sphinx thing is a running gag in all of pop culture, as shown by your Asterix example, so I ...
