Awww, that's too bad. I had a nice exchange with him when I worked at Fantagraphics. And his work with Neal Adams was fantastic. One of the great inkers and editors and a real mensch.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So I finished both Y the Last Man and Nextwave lasts night. Talk about a major contrast between two series to be reading in parrallel. I loved them both, but for entirely different reasons.
Once upon a time I think I would have hated the ending to Y, but I'm much more down with the bittersweet melancholy these days. Losing Agent 355 that way still hurt though.
Nextwave was just flat-out hilarious, and while I'm sorry there won't be any more, the ending was a perfect place to leave it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Dear God, I love me some "Nextwave."

Dear God, I love me some "Nextwave."
Seriously.
"ZOMG! The French are in Cananda!!!" "Zomg?"
"Things like this never happened when I was in The Avengers". [Monica Rambeau, leader of NextWave, lies all the time.]
"So follow the sexy robot." "Is it an invisible robot?"
And so on, and so forth...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Nextwave is completely hilarious, I agree. I need to get the Ultimate Collection that just came out.

That's the edition I read. I love that even the letters and the FAQ are hilarious.
