July 23, 2009 3:38 pm @Rocket -- Kirkman's books are the only $2 ones I've seen so far.
@all The exclusive just covers iPod type devices. There are multIple comic readers selling comics now. This doesn't impact Longbox at all.
I have other problems with Comixology's app that I'll get to in a special Pipeline Podcast tonight. :)
I loved Peter David's run on "The Incredible Hulk" and I also loved this book. For completely different reasons. That's as it should be -- every book judged on its own merits.
From what I understand, the stories Alan Moore wanted to tell in SUPREME got folded into TOM STRONG. So read TOM STRONG and pretend like it's the next SUPREME TPB. =)
And "Complete Lowlife" is going for $70 on Amazon? Hmmm, might be time to dig up my copy. . .
Not to step on Mark Sable's hope too much or anything, but THE AUTHORITY was the natural progression of Warren Ellis' "StormWatch" run, which began in 1996 -- the first term of the first Mr. Hope president, Bill Clinton.
But, hey, I'm glad Mark Waid isn't a self-loathing American anymore. I'm only sorry we won't see more EMPIRE now, I guess. . .
I see on your Twitter that you've been doing some writing of your own. Whatcha writing? Who are you pitching to? What's the end to Secret Invasion #8? Do you have a writing schedule? Can you answer two out of three of the previous questions?
Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. I just finished watching it, myself. Laughed out loud at the imagery. Conor, Josh, Ron, whoever worked on this -- great job. Perfect Shooter picture, too.
@IroncladMerc - Lots of smaller and indy publishers use Comicraft fonts because they're relatively cheap and well known. Many use free ComicCraft and Blambot fonts because they're ten times better than their own handwriting and, well, free.
The "big name" letterers have their own fonts they use.

And I've never read "Secret Wars" 1 or 2. . .

@Tad - Illustrator is "only" $600 or so.
Happy Sesquicentennial!
