Heroes and Todd

drawing, not ink someone elses. His art of the early 90's was what made
Spider-man. He was really cool as an artist, and still is, as when he drew
a cover for issues 100 of Spawn.

I would, too, but honestly I'd rather wait for a full book, and one he
has time to work on. I have every intention of buying Heroes (and I
may even get a few copies, something I haven't done since 1994), but
it's something that's being done very quickly.
And I honestly think this is a very good sign for any possible future
collaboration between Todd and Marvel.
And just to offer my opinion, I thought the cover to Spawn #100
sucked. (Not a serious dig against Todd, I used to be a big fan, and
I'd be first in line for Spawn/Spider-Man, if it ever happened). I
think he's still a capable penciller, but I thought that cover
screamed phone-in.

Because Todd has TOTALLY lost the ability to draw.
Look at the pin-up he did for Savage Dragon #50...my ass could have done a
better drawing. And his "Spawn" #100 cover wasn't that great, either. The man
has lost it...stick with inking, I say.

Given the number of Todd-alikes that popped up during the heyday of
his popularity, I don't understand what the big deal about him coming
back to the drawing board is. Get Capullo or Pruitt to chicken scratch
a drawing out and don't sign their name, most people won't be able to
tell the difference.

Lost? When did he possess the ability to draw?
That aside, it's nice that he's contributing something to the Heroes book, and
we shouldn't really be busting his chops about it.

Two possible reasons: (1) inking might take less time for him than
pencilling, and (2) the more people collaborate on things instead of
doing solo contributions, the more contributors the book is able to
have. For instance, Robin is inking and coloring the piece that Alan
Davis drew, and Pat Prentice has done lettering for it. That's three
people only taking the space of one page to make their contribution.

Sounds groovy. But did anyone, y'know, write it?
The list of creators for the project is pretty astounding - and the fact
that this whole thing could come together so quickly is a really powerful
message, I think.

I believe there will be text pieces accompanying the artwork, by a
very wide variety of people including folks like Neil Gaiman.

Then why do they need letterers?

Why would someone need to write a pin-up?

For...fun?
No, really, I had no idea that the piece in question was a "pin-up." Thanks
for telling me, though, albeit in a roundabout manner.

Keep in mind that not all single-page illustrations are wordless. I'd heard
the book described as a "poster book," more often than as a pin-up book, and
there are plenty of posters throughout history that have been written.
Carlos Pacheco and I did a piece for the book -- I told him the idea I had for
a piece, involving text and art. He liked it, so I wrote up a script, e-mailed
it to him, he drew it, and I'll be seeing the results later today.
I don't know if that counts as a pin-up, but if so, that's one way someone can
write one.

Yes. There's text accompanying the art which Alan wrote specifically so
Pat could make a contribution to the book. She really loves New York.
She's only been here once but feels a very at home in this city and Alan
wanted to give her the chance to do something to help.

I picked up Alan's piece from the Marvel offices on Friday, inked and
coloured it over the weekend and delivered it to them on Monday. Things
can be turned around pretty quickly when they have to be. When I took it
in Bob Greenberger showed the wall where they are displaying the
contributions as they come in. It's going to be a pretty spectacular
book.

Alan wrote the captions that Pat lettered. They read kind of
Byrne-like to me, only not as flowery.

"They" don't "need letterers." Pat was very upset about the events,
like many in the UK, and wanted to do anything she could to help, so
Alan wrote text to do with his piece and Pat lettered that text.

Uhm, likely it's in part symbolic, given the sniping matches the two
have had recently in the comics press, they're coming together for a
cause.
