I <3 Will Pfeifer. That Dazzler story made that entire year happen for me.

I even have the tattoo to remember it by. <3

Will Pfeifer is by far one of my favorite authors. He is the reason why Aquaman has become my favorite DC character. His run was criminally short lived and if there is any justice in the universe Dan Didio would be smart to give him the reigns again should there ever be another Aquaman monthly (and I think there will be sometime later this year or early next year.)

What happened to HERO? I got the first trade, it was good, and there seemed to be a lot of buzz about the book, and then... nothing. What happened to all that buzz? Where's the second trade? Also Brian, you're surprised a mid to late 90's vertigo mini hasn't been collected? Really? They had a lot of strong mini's around that time, and none of them have been collected - it's more shocking when one is. Heck, they've got Sandman mini's that were good, and by name talent, that haven't been collected. And that's jus Vertigo stuff from that period, I'm sure we can all name six DCU books that should be collected from that time.

Catwoman was good. Not something I'd have expected from the premise of the series.

I read the first issue of Finals and loved it, but I have not yet been able to find the rest of the series

Shouldn't that be "he wrote the book until last year, when it was cancelled"?

Well, crap -- I'm the "Anonymous" above who said FINALS would be going on my want list. (Anyone have any bloody idea whatsoever why Opera, my new browser, refuses to save my name here ... though so far ithat bug hasn't shown up anywhere else I've posted?)

I've been picking up some of the Heroes comics and enjoy them a lot.

Finals sounds really interesting and I'm definitely going to be on the look out for it.

FINALS was brilliant, well worth seeking out. I heard Will say once that every time DC starts to consider collecting it, there's another school shooting in the news, and they get cold feet again.

Pfeifer (whose name I cannot spell for the life of me) has a pretty good blog, like Brian said. He's an excellent writer when it comes to character work and seems the sort of utility guy who can just jump into almost any sitaution when they need a fill in and nail it.

I just hope he DOES have a project or six upcoming because it's been sort of quiet for him since his Blue Beetle fill-ins ended.

yeah, his run on Catwoman was an absolute joy. Will Pfeifer was in the comic shop last week when I was getting comics but I didn't want to annoy him. He writes a column about dvds for my local paper too, it's really informative.

FINALS sounds great. Never heard of it till now. Time to update the ol' ever-expanding want list.

And in keeping with Jim's statement above, the first thing I thought of when I saw his name was AMAZONS ATTACK. It's as it, I dunno, Warren Beatty was known mainly for ISHTAR.

H.E.R.O. was one of the best comics ever, bar none.

I really enjoyed his Catwoman run and was disappointed to see it end. He did a great job on the Batman/Catwoman dynamic. Worth checking out.

Check out his blog, too. Always entertaining. http://xrayspex.blogspot.com/

Yup! Loved his take on Catwoman and Aquaman!

AND I got his Legends of the Dark Knight arc.. though admittedly that one was because I love Chris Weston's art, and wanted to see his Batman...

Film Freak in Catwoman was cool and creepy. The Z-solution was a the best thing to come out of Identity Crisis...

I think I've even got the X-Men Unlimited issue too!

I'm frankly amazed, Brian! I've A) heard of him; and B) got a shedload of his stuff!

I'm a big fan of Pfeifer's work. Unfortunately, the poor guy will probably be remembered by the DC/Marvel crowd for Amazons Attack!

I hope the guy is on a book soon.
