It's not crystal meth, it's DMT. Crystal meth just helps you see trailer parks.

It was also spectacular. The biggest possible mismatch I can think of is Rob Liefeld on Love and Rockets. If I didn't buy anything made by people whose views I disagreed with, I'd never have read Lone Wolf & Cub, Steve Ditko, or Frank Miller. Tucci is capable of drawing good comics, just as, say, Chuck Dixon is capable of writing good comics. I'm not that interested in the upcoming Sgt. Rock book, but that has nothing to do with its creative team's political views. Sienkiewicz on New Mutants was a HUGE mismatch. It was also spectacular.

Or rational. He's one of three or four mainstream artists who's books I will always buy regardless of writer, character, or concept. But, yeah, New Mutants was a weird, WEIRD title to stick him on.

Rock in approximately forever, which gives me some pause. What’s up with that?" At 81 years old and after doing approximately sixty billion Sgt. Rock projects, I'm sure Joe would probably like to do something else. If he wanted to do something like covers it's not like DC would turn him down. Love Kubert on Rock of course, but I think this Tucci/Milius partnership could turn out excellent. Apodaca: Of course when I say "Hollywood Left" it does not include everyone who has ever made a movie. Mel Gibson, Schwarzenegger, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and John Milius would certainly NOT fit in that category. Steven Spielberg and about a million other people would. Thanks for the snark. "What does put me off this somewhat is I think it’s the first Kubert-less Sgt. Rock in approximately forever, which gives me some pause. What’s up with that?"

That said, if a ridiculous pile of bullshit like <i>Red Dawn</i> is more or less indicative of his political views, then yeah, kind of a wingnut. Or perhaps just kind of a nut in general.
