Jason Howard is one of the few people I met at C2E2 for the
first time. I’d loved his work on THE
ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN for Image, and when I saw him in Artists Alley, I jumped at
the opportunity to talk with him about the book.
He seemed to really miss working with that character, and he
implied that sales weren’t all that great for the book, hence its early
demise. We talked about the Wolf-Man’s
appearances in INVINCIBLE, and he always seems to get a kick out of that. He says he hopes that Kirkman will bring him
back to his own book. I agree. Even though it’s a superhero book (and I hate
superheroes), it’s quirky and fucked up enough for me to enjoy it. Also, Kirkman is as relentless as ever with
these characters, just like he is with INVINCIBLE (another of the few good
superhero books) and THE WALKING DEAD.
Just as I was packing up, I saw a poster for SCATTERLANDS,
and I nearly slapped my forehead for forgetting about that. I mentioned the online comic and said it was
an amazing concept—one panel a day—but it seems that the story is on
hiatus. It’s too bad. A hiatus for that kind of format is
essentially death.
