Kyle Baker/Evan Dorkin: Classic or Dud?

His Plastic Man was good. His art was good on Deadpool Max, but I found it just as stupidly unfunny as every other Deadpool series.

his Plastic Man was amazing but they never collected the last idk 8 issues or so

six issues - the first two trades were six issues each, skipping fill-ins by Scott Morse

so

easily found on the internet

I like paper

Good new interview with Mr Dorkin.

Pretty...intense thread from Evan D last night.

I always used to say I'd never quit comics but I also said I'd never do variant covers and I caved on that one. I'm getting too old to live this marginally, especially when I have a collaborator comicblocking the most profitable project I have going. I'm just tired of all this.

That's a hella bummer to hear, particularly since I'm a fan of both of the major parties involved.

Uh, on a positive tip wrt the thread subjects, Baker is soloing on a new Black Panther series coming soon...frooooom IDW (no, I don't really understand that last part, either).

jeez, that thread is a bummer

hope things improve for him soon

yes, Evan fairly often has late night Instant Piano #4 / TCJ #214 despair threads on twitter, and not only around the Beasts co-owner tanking his career just as it was getting going after twenty years in the business. he eased off for a few years after she briefly got back in contact, but the completion of Wise Dogs has obviously ratcheted up the anxiety: it's likely that volumes 3 and 4 will both be completed before DH are able to put a Volume 2 into bookshops and libraries (if ever), ten years after the first.

frooooom IDW (no, I don't really understand that last part, either).

Marvel have acknowledged that they have creatively and structurally lost the ability to make comics for children, so loads of Disney IP gets licensed out to other publishers instead.

Disney IP generally I get, Marvel IP specifically not so much. But hey, we get more Kyle Baker, won't question it too much.

yoo, that Dorkin thread was a terrible idea, to air out his dirty laundry like that
