You know how I feel about Marc Andreyko’s Manhunter. In an interview at The Pulse, Andreyko drops a hint about a future arc that makes me very, very happy:
“All of the Manhunters currently lingering in the DCU will be appearing in the Manhunted arc [issues # 10 – # 14]. And other DCU folks will be ‘chase‘-ing after Kate, too.”
If Andreyko writes a guest appearance by DEO Agent Cameron Chase of the much-missed Chase series (by D. Curtis Johnson and J. H. Williams III), I will be the happiest of geeks. I think Andreyko would do a splendid job with the character, and I think she’d be a great foil for Kate.
Normally, announcements of Big Two exclusives don’t do a thing for me. But I’m glad to see that Dan Slott has signed with Marvel (announced at Newsarama and other places). It seems to have made Slott happy, and it furthers my entirely unfounded theory that he’s trying to destroy and rebuild the House of Ideas from within with a string of fun, accessible comics. Har!
Oh, Toronto Comic Arts Festival, why do you torment me so? Even if I won’t be able to go, at least they keep giving me wonderful goodies on their web site. The latest is a one-page Street Angel strip by Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca.
And since I’m on the subject, talk of a Batman/Daredevil crossover only distracts us all from what should be the top co-publishing priority for Marvel and DC: a collection of all of the Hostess Snack Cake strips the companies have run over the years.
