Has RUSE ever been collected in TPB format? It's the one CrossGen book that I missed out on that I really want to get my hands on. Kudos to Scott and thanks for giving him the spotlight.

In the foreword of Archer's Quest, Winnick essentially says that he had the title, but didn't want to follow Kevin Smith, so he convinced his editor to hire his old college roommate... who happened to be Brad Meltzer, best-selling novelist.

Scott Beaty really DID do an Alfred: Year One story as a backup at the end of Detective 806 and Detective 807 called Regnum Defende (and for some reason the story is misspelled on both covers). That's some sick ESP you got going there Blackjak. Oh you’re serious?

Those <i>Year One</i> minis were fantastic, his <i>Green Arrow</i> fill-ins were solid (why wasn't he tapped to take over after Meltzer?), and <i>Gen13</i> has been a blast. It's fun, it's funny, it's touching, it's disturbing, it's everything I want in a comic. And, it actually comes out monthly! Beatty and Huddleston are the best thing to happen to that series since Adam Warren. Hell yeah!

That was a pretty good story though. I like Beaty's logic of "If he's been a spy and a butler, why not have him be a spy butler?"

“Alfred – Year One?”

It was lost amongst the pre-Infinite Crisis hub-bub, which is a shame, because the concept and the character were really fun and interesting. Alas, the character has only appeared once since, in the abysmal Titans East one-shot, where he was nearly killed. I'd love to see Beatty or someone use the character again, espcially since he hunts White Martians and the Titans now have one on their team. I met him at a con a couple years back. Really really nice guy. He also wrote the drastically under-rated “Son of Vulcan” mini-series that was released about three years ago.

He must have done Year One's for the majority of the Bat Family, what next? "Alfred - Year One?"
