But I'm still trying to figure out if I should have him autograph an issue of Astonishing, an issue of Planetary, or an issue of Lone Ranger. Again, suggestions? My top choice at the moment is the awesome de-powered Cyclops cover from Astonishing.

That's a good one. I was going to suggest an issue of Planetary but those first 4 or 5 Astonishing covers are all great.

Cassaday is one of my favorite artists. EVAR.

If it was me, I'd make him sign the cover of #8 of Astonishing because yours truly was in the letters page. 8)

No sir, but that would've been cool too. We have Bass Ale on draft at the bar so I would've made a long-running joke about "Hey Bass, would you like a Bass?" and we all would've had a good laugh over that.

Bass wouldn't have spoken to you unless you drew the X-Men at some point.
No, Mr. Cassaday was rolling solo. His cousin works at the bar next door and since he's from this area, he's got other family in these parts. He even invited me to his Christmas party later on this year at a popular local BBQ joint, which I wholeheartedly accepted.

Mr. Cassaday is a seriously nice guy. I've met other writers and artists in the past and MOST of them have been cool, but not John Cassaday cool. We talked for a good hour about old Larry Hama GI Joe comics, the greatness of Warren Ellis (he said he's almost done with the last issue of Planetary, by the way) and how the mid-90's almost killed the industry.

He's a class act, John Cassaday.

Was he as dreamy in person as he is in pictures???

Go for the Planetary with the Lone Ranger-esque character. Wasn't taht one a challenge from him to Ellis? Or am I thinking of the Crouching Tiger-esque one?

Willverine tried to warn us that John Cassaday is really a Skrull but it was too late.
 
Re: The All About Comics Thread 4: Mole Is Reading Watchmen?!

The Skrulls were after me, but I borrowed that logic-defying gun from Nick Fury so they're not around anymore... for now.

I totally spaced and forgot to take anything for an autograph, I had Marvel Knights Captain America #3 sitting on my desk before I left the other night but completely forgot to grab it on the way out the door. Yeah, I know it's not Planetary #1 or anything but it was the first issue where Steve Rogers revealed his identity to the public... and Cap is my favorite character... but it's cool.

Just sayin'.

Re: The All About Comics Thread 4: Mole Is Reading Watchmen?!

So I read the Punisher kills the Marvel Universe one-shot. It was good, particularly how he killed the X-Men.

I also read Laika. It made me cry, but most dog stories do.
