Thank you, Brian, and to everyone who left comments.

For anyone interested I also did a two-issue Scarecrow ‘upgrade” in Detective Comics a little over a year ago, and”The Foundation” for Boom! Studios which is now available as a tpb.

I’m still doing a lot of the kid’s oriented material for DC, which I really enjoy doing. I’ve now written over 100 Scooby-Doo stories over the past decade, which is the longest job I’ve ever had. I’m also writing “The Secret Saturdays” which can be found in “Cartoon Network Action Pack.”

As for more adult fare, I’m about to script an issue of “The Brave and the Bold” featuring the Spectre and one of the Milestone characters shown above. There’s some other stuff going on too, in and out of comics, but it’s really too early to say anything.

The “news” portion of my website is the best place to find out what I’m up to, and hopefully this coming summer the rest of the website will be given a long, long overdue upgrade which will include lots of ehind the scenes material on “Xombi” and “Midnight, Mass.”

I love me some Rozum. Xombi was and still is a personal favorite of mine and I still break it out and re-read it every now and then. Midnight, Mass was good fun in the same vein and I’d love to see more of it at some point. Or at the very least get some TPB’s for it.

Midnight MASS is all kinds of awesome. I gotta find the last few issues of the second mini, Here there be monsters.

Xombi was great.

As an fyi, Xombi was the first return of Milestone character..he showed up as the Alternate Universe Green Lantern in the previous JLA arc.

Ohh, I’d forgotten about Midnight Mass but that book was awesome. I’d be interested to see more of his original work.

Midnight, Mass. seems ideal for Sci-Fi Fridays or CW Thursdays, for sure. It'd be a great pairing with Supernatural.

Xombi was sweet and one of my fav Milestone titles! The scene where the entity (supervillain? golem?) assembles itself from all the meat in the vicinity would be a Cool Comic Book Moment.

Midnight Mass was a great read. Interaction of the main characters had that crispness that makes a good series spin. The back story, only slightly revealed in the run, would have led to numerous plot possibilities. I was very surprised that no new ongoing or limited series came out after its original run. A real winner.

The only thing he’s done that I’m really familiar with is Midnight Mass, which is an underappreciated jem. I always wondered what happened to him; I never thought to look at Scooby-Doo. I guess it’s work…..

Cool! As I noted a few days ago in expressing hope that Rozum would be included, I discovered the two MIDNIGHT, MASS. minis last year & loved ‘em. Had no idea he was doing all-ages stuff, but good on him.

Does anybody have a scan of that Xombi ad?

Now, The X-Files book I definitely remember.

He wasn’t too bad doing those.
