As of Novermber 30th I'm no longer
exclusive to DC Comics. I didn't renew my contract for a variety
of reasons and there's no bad blood or even a trace of ill will
toward the folks at 1700 Broadway. I am not, in any way, parting
company with DC and the majority of my work will still be for
them as I continue with Nightwing, Robin and Birds of Prey. They
treat me just fine and I have many friends there.
That said, I guess it's safe
to say that I didn't renew 'cause I got the freelancer itch to
explore other characters. I'll be doing several things outside
of DC in the coming year. Dark Horse has tendered the offer for
a limited series and Bongo wants me to write a few more Simpsons
stories.
But
the big news (for me anyhow) is that I'll be writing
a monthly for Marvel for the first time in a long time. It's
a group book featuring a few characters I've written before and
several I've never been associated with. I don't want to let
the cat out of the bag before Marvel makes their announcement
but I will say that I'm really excited by this project. I'll
be working with two of my favorite artists in the business and
I've been given very free rein to go wild in the Marvel Manner.
More on this project as it progresses.
I have quite a few interesting
things coming up at DC in the near future. John vanFleet and
I have another project to follow up on THE CHALICE. It will be
a two part prestige mini-series faeturing Batman and will be
in current continuity. It will feature the same kind of grand
themes and epic scale that made THE CHALICE so special and will
intro a new villain. I'm also busy on ROBIN: YEAR ONE with Scott
Beatty and Javier Pulido. We're into Book Three's script now.
I've written the first three of the four part Superman/Aliens2
with Jon Bogdanove and Kevin Nowlan on the art and the stuff
is looking great! The biggest project I've ever worked on in
terms of action. It's Kirby, man!

I'm
also doing two of this summer's 80 page Giants. In the Robin
80 page Giant we'll have some surprise guest stars and a major
continuity event that's been too long in the coming. The Spoiler
will be along as well and a brand new villain. A Batman 80 pager
will feature the return of Calendar Man. It'll be the same Julian
Day we all thought was such a lame-o in the past. But he'll have
a brand new motivation and costume and gang and I'm hoping he'll
join the pantheon of more dangerous Bat-villains as a legitimate
contender. It's a kick getting to work on these extra-length
stories. Especially with the Calendar Man. I've had this story
in mind for him for years but needed a special venue for it.
This 80 pager provides that.
Anyhow, more of the same in 2000
with some extra projects thrown in. Juts thought you folks would
want to read it here first. And thanks for your loyal support
of this site over the past year! I promise more surprises coming
soon!
