I last saw hom on Awesome Comics (rip) youngblood. Has he done anything since?

(apologies if there's a better forum for this, I couldn't find one that was suitable)

He's still doing DOC FRANKENSTEIN.

There was also from memory: X-Man, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and GAMBIT.

Did some of the concept art with Geof Darrow on THE MATRIX trilogy as well.

That makes sense, YB was full of characters flying and flipping in impossible ways.

Anyone remember which issues of X-man, ASM and Gambit he did?

He wrote and drew issues 151-154 (or somewhere thereabouts) of Wolverine, one of the best stand-alone arcs in that titles history. And he certainly did more issues of Amazing than Sleeper has listed.

He also did a run on Clive Barker's Ecokid series written by.... the Wachowski Bros. Skroce is one of those rare creators who can write his own ticket as far as what he wants to do in the industry. If he called DC and said "fire Perez and Busiek and let me do six issues of JLA" he would get it. I think we can list this level of talent on one hand:

Steve Skroce
Mike Mignola
Darwyn Cooke
Alex Ross

You really think Skroce is on that level? Don't get me wrong, he's talented, but he hasn't done a terribly large amount of high profile comic work, and I doubt the average comic reader knows he has anything to do with the Matrix.

I don't see that happening even if he wanted it to. Of the creators you listed, I only see Alex Ross having anywhere near that kind of power.

Perez and Busiek fired off JLA for that list of creators? I can't see it ever happening. It's nice to see that kind of fanfare for a very talented artist who hasn't gotten a whole lot of notice, though.

Another question might be when is the next issue of Doc Frankenstein coming out? I need my Skroce fix.

I was being hyperbolic about Skroce there guys but I do think that Ross, Cooke and Mignola have that power and that Skroce is on par with them talentwise. But seriously, I do see him becoming like an Arthur Adams kind of guy...

DOC #2 was out in late February. There should have been one in April. And now I'm starting to rock back and forth.

Maybe he was finally killed by all of those ridiculously caricatured militant, hateful Christians employed as villains in his trashy comic book.

I'm sickened to admit I'm no longer surprised that a book with such a leftist agenda can get published while a book with even a small HINT of conservative values would be met with outrage and, very likely, banning. (Despite the oft-repeated cry of liberals that they "hate censorship."

That Wolverine arc is one of my favorites. I knew he drew it bit did not lnow he wrote it. i thought he was only an artist not a writer.
