Thanks for a very enjoyable couple of years doing these, John. I really appreciate the time and thought you’ve put in. Here’s hoping they return someday.

Going to miss these – they’re good pieces.

And Darkman will always be, for me, one of those great underdeveloped franchises. Sort of like how Darkwing Duck was at Disney.

(Hang on, I’ve got a really good idea for a crossover now….)

Re: the conflict, I think the “berserker rage” thing is really unneeded now – write that out and the character would work better. But on that note: the movie has a MUCH better ending (with Bruce!) than the original adaptation did.

Ha, I was just about to post “Darkman? Really?!? I think you’ve run out of possibilities.”

John, I’ve enjoyed your series as well. I learned a lot about characters I’ve never read before and some I thought I was familiar with as well.

I went to your blog once to recommend you write an article on Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. I don’t know that you’ve ever done a feature on that before and I’d be interested in what you make of it. Unfortunately, I can’t buy you the novels or the tpb’s of Marvel’s series, but you should be able to find one or the other at a library.

John,
You’ve done a great job on these, and fingers crossed that one will still turn up from time to time. Thanks!
