Phil Jimenez

I liked the art.

It felt a little like Phil Jimenez, and maybe that's because you get a lot of Academy members showing up.

but it's nice to have the retro legion and there's other legion stuff in it like the dominators daxamites being quarantined all the gold statues of the fallen heroes so it's low on the four scale not everyone is going to be able to jump in as a new reader but i was like yeah i'm i'm okay with this book green lantern core this also is lower end of four peter tomasi fernando pasaran Um, it's not like a, a very interesting read, but it's nice to follow characters that we know.

Guy Gardner, Jon Stewart, as they try to find themselves on Earth outside of the Green Lantern Corps.

I read Dan DiDio's introduction.

I read the back matter, which features a roundtable discussion with many of the folks involved, including Jeff Johns and Phil Jimenez, the writer and primary penciler.

And one of the things that was interesting, I know I'm sure I brought this up when we did our dedicated Infinite Crisis episode years ago, but I think it's Jeff Johns who talks about how it was actually Jeff Loeb's suggestion to use that quartet from the original Crisis.

Oh, that's cool.

He first appeared in Free Comic Book Day, Amazing Spider-Man Number One in 2007.

This was conceptualized by Dan Slott and Phil Jimenez during the massive Brand New Day publishing initiative.

His origin is this crazy labyrinth of identity theft and experimental chemistry.

He started as an unnamed member of the Snakehead gang, which is a syndicate involved in human trafficking.

Robin Tim Drake Compendium 2 collects an assload of Robin comics.

I'm not reading them all off, but 1,072 pages of Tim Drake Robin here for you with some great artwork by Tom Gromit, Phil Jimenez, Waringo, John Stokes, Stan Wolk, and others.

written by Chuck Dixon and Alan Grant.

So that's there on page 54 slash 254.

Yes.

The cover artist is Phil Jimenez.

Fantastic.

Next book up is The Muppet.

Number 2399.

Phil Jimenez or Jimenez artwork.

That's nice.

Yeah.

Yikes, that might be a damage control just for invoking that.

But it says here, planned as Hellblazer number 141, writer Warren Ellis and artist Phil Jimenez explored the rash of school shootings in the U.S. as mystical rogue John Constantine gets involved with a psychologist writing a U.S. Senate report on the events.

The issue was pulled by DC in the wake of the Columbine school shooting in 1999.

I will say that, as I recall, when we were going through some X-Men spinoff titles, Marvel did do a story that was essentially in reaction to that.

Because people think of Batman 66 before they think of anything else.

Or they think of Super Friends and that era of... animation for for for comics they think that that's what comic books are and before i ever podcast before i ever podcasted the the the first audio thing that i ever put out in the ether was a piece called comic books not just for kids anymore that i made for my college radio station And I interviewed, I remember I interviewed Phil Jimenez for that.

I interviewed Hank from Bulletproof Comics in Brooklyn and a couple of other folks and put it out there.

And that was, mind you, this is 21 years ago at this point, 22 years ago.
