Never read Seaguy.
But I am now very tempted to hunt this down.

I vote for suspense. Along with a clever intro. Because, dang it, I want to know that you're WORKING to catch my interest.

Also, I didn't love SEAGUY. The first issue was fun, but it seemed to just go completely off the rails after that.

But then, while I like some of Morrison's stuff, I can;t really say that I'm a big fan.

Honestly, other than coming in to answer the posed question, "365 Reasons to Love Comics" just gets scrolled past every day - CSBG doesn't have the best track record when it comes to actually finding anything enjoyable about comics, and a vague hint as to what is in each post isn't enough to warrant reading it...

Alas, Sea Guy seemed to be his mangum opus for all Morrisonâ€™s other works paled by the comparison;

Aah - you had me going. For a second there I thought you were serious!

I have no preference for suspense, but please tell me Java's going to be on here...I'm just reading 'Showcase Presents Metamorpho' for the first time, and Java is absolutely brilliant!

That was me posting above.

My ego demands that you all know it.

I loved Sea Guy.
Possibly some of the most enjoyable Morrison ever.
It made you think, but not too much.
It was fast paced, but not rushed.
It was funny, but not at the expense of story.
And dammit, it was beautiful.

And yet not many seem to like it, and all anyone wants to talk about is We3.
Bleh.

i vote for suspense with a possible tease of who/what/where/wtfever the days love interest is.

As for Seaguy, I thought I heard that Seaguy 2 was supposed to come out sometime this year. Is that true, or did I dream it?

Rumor is that he only signed onto 52 if they'd let him continue Seaguy, but I haven't heard anything behind that. If there *is* going to be another one, Cam Stewart ain't talking.

I also vote for suspense, Bill. It seems the masses (of 3 or 4) have spoken. As for Seaguy, I thought I heard that Seaguy 2 was supposed to come out sometime this year. Is that true, or did I dream it?

I have a good suggestion for supporting characters week (well, it's actually kind of obvious, but so is Jughead!), but I don't want to say, since then you might not choose it!

Chubby sounds great but sadly my only meaningful input is a vote for suspense.

Thank you for posting this great second banana!
Chubby was one of the more interesting characters created by Morrison in the past few years.
My only regret was that we didn't get to see the other 6 issues Grant had planned for Seaguy. When I talked with him last year at WWLA, he told me about it...sounded wonderful.
God Speed Chubby...may you play chess and ride in gondolas forever!

Suspense. The only thing I could think of adding is -- if you are continuing with this theme week format -- a sub-title, for example, "Supporting Characters Week". Anyway: 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.'

After reading Sea Guy and beholding the gratuitous love affair with the reader that is Chubby da Choona, I thought, Holy Smokes! This Morrison guy is someone to watch out for! Alas, Sea Guy seemed to be his mangum opus for all Morrison's other works paled by the comparison; they seemed to be scattered, lesser morsels - the best thoughts and ideas having been saved and spent on this well-deserving choona. Sea Guy was (thanks to the fish), almost as funny as Screw-On Head - and so, maybe in the same league as Groo the Wanderer. Come back to us, Grant Morrison! Come back to Chubby!

I vote for suspense!

Keep us guessing, man.
