Doctor Fate Q&A – 4

Friday, March 30th, 2007

From Jack Holt: I hope magic still has some tricks up its sleeve, some quirks that keep the good Doctor on his toes. I like the idea of Doc using a system of magic, but somehow I hate the idea of magic itself being limited. Fairy queens, will o’ wisps, and the music of the […]

Doctor Fate Q&A – 3 (and a digression)

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

From Kenneth W. Lieck: 1) Has your previous Dr. Fate series [the Flash back-up w/the delicious Mike Golden art] ever been collected, and/or is it fated to face collection if this Fate fares well and doesn’t fale… er, fail? 2) Since I asked the above question, I guess I should ask if this storyline will […]

Doctor Fate Q&A – 2

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

From Forrest: Could you give us a mission-statement type quotation for people who don’t read comics anymore but are open-minded? DOCTOR FATE should appeal to anyone who believes real life can be its own mystical experience. How’s that?

Doctor Fate Q&A

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

I’ll try to answer one question a day while I’m working on these scripts. This one’s from Neil Bradbury: I was wondering whether the Fate book would be rooted firmly within the DCU and it’s myriad crossovers, or whether you’re going to be allowed some degree of independence? I asked for six issues to establish […]

Some (Quick) Thoughts on Doctor Fate – Part 3

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

By now, most of you have probably heard that the DOCTOR FATE book has been postponed. Let me asssure you that it *is* a postponement, not a cancellation. It happened for a number of reasons, including my speed (or lack thereof) with the scripts, the last-minute change of art personnel, and some on-the-fly editorial decisions […]

Interesting Steven Grant column on how we “respect” the past in comics.

Some Thoughts on Doctor Fate – Part 2

Friday, March 16th, 2007

I’m letting some Doctor Fate ideas roll around in the back of my skull again, so here, via the front of my skull, are answers to some of your Doctor Fate questions: Scott: Any chance of a crossover with Fate, Superman, and Steel? I’ll take just about any excuse to write Superman, but there aren’t […]

The fairness and balance are enough to make you weep — or throw bombs.

More Fate Thoughts Momentarily

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

I had been looking forward to posting something more about Doctor Fate after I finished the script I was writing. Unfortunately, I crashed instead — spent the entire weekend either asleep or staring slack-jawed at the walls. Didn’t go anywhere, didn’t even talk to anyone until Sunday night. Phew. But it was a good kind […]

Comments, anyone? (You’re allowed to be critical.) (More on Doctor Fate after I get some sleep…)
