On Iron Man and X-Factor that was their respective art duties. They both switched roles multiple times but I don’t remember ever seeing Guice ink Layton’s pencils. Layton had other inkers and Guice inked other pencillers.

re-read the Weapon X omnibus that came out last year - still amazing to me that one person can draw like that and simultaneously come up with such a great story.

that sucks about peter david. I didnt realize he wrote the death of jean dewolff. i thought the sineater story was great and if i am not mistaken the first time Daredevil admitted he knew who spider-man was. i also loved his work with jeff purves on the countdown arc of Incredible Hulk

Jim Shooter died. Esophageal cancer. Damn. His tenure as EIC for Marvel produced some of the best comics ever.

Pretty wild career.
I went to a comic signing shortly after he started Defiant, it was Shooter and someone else who I cannot for the life of me recall... damnit, I really don't want to go rummaging through my comics.

David Lapham is the only other dude I remember from there.

Looks like it was Dick Giordano and Rick Burchett.

Giordano did work for Defiant?

Damn, Shooter and Giordano at the same signing. That would’ve been something.

No, it just happened to be on the same day apparently.
At the time Giordano recently put out Catwoman: Defiant which I got signed.

Eh, I guess I'll give it a shot. I actually haven't read any Batman for a bit.
So this only ended up being six issues, more were planned but it was very much leaning toward this:

Ultimately I did not care for the initial run so won't be continuing on.

im about to dive into the DC All In, and the last number of Absolute Batman was weird enough to grab my interest.

I read a bit of DC All In, it was interesting. Im not sure i like the idea of a huge Justice League, im a big fan of both JLA and JLE were the stories were almost a parody and also kinda of dark...but i do like the whole Darkseid thing.

Ill dive into both Absolute Batman and Superman once i finish this thing.
