Peter Milligan

[DOVETAILS]

Milligan is my favorite writer. Wish he could get a creator owned book going though, maybe at image even... So he can shine.
He seems like stuck with other people's characters right now. I mean I love Hellblazer, my favorite comic out right now. But still.
Red Lanterns? Seems like a waste of his talents. *Sigh*

If he's DC exclusive, he can only do creator owned at Vertigo, where he won't own the rights, so I can see him holding off on that.

Isn't Scott Snyder on an exclusive contract with DC? He still did Severed at Image.

He might have had an exception in his deal to allow that. Brian Wood clarified on these boards DC is strict about exclusive creators doing their creator books at Vertigo.

In other news, Rogan Gosh is by far the trippiest book I've ever read. This is probably more layered and confusing than anything from Morrison (well I could be wrong there, but from what I've read at least). Has anyone read it here? I would love to discuss it.

[Rumblecat]

Yeah, I've read it quit a few times. It's been a while since I read it- I've still got it in battered copies of Revolver magazine where it first showed up. I thought (and still think) that it was an amazing comic- incredibly layered, and one where my opinion of what the story is about changes each time I read it. I also found the bit where he talks about his mother dying to be quite moving... but above all, it's a very funny comic as well. It's a bit of a cliche to describe it as curry of different styles and influence, but that's kind of what it is.

And McCarthy's artwork is phenomenal. Whether's he tackling a psychedelic freak out or a guy visiting his girlfriend, there so much detail and little moments in there... It's definitely one of my favourite comics- and I think sits happily alongside Engima and Skreemer as some of Milligan's best writing. You just don't really gets comics like it.

[Mr. Holmes]

I really want to read Enigma, but it's way too expensive on Amazon.

Check eBay for the whole run, might get it for a cheaper price. Is what I did.

"If I don't have sex, and damned good sex at that, at least twice a day, my jaw goes out of shape. Pretty soon my underbite is so HUGE that I can carry my bloody shopping home in it."

I'm convinced Milligan was out of his mind during the 90s. It's no wonder he wrote all of his best works in that period.

Sorry if someone's said this already, but there was a whisper a while ago that a Milligan and McCarthy omnibus might be in the works, collecting some combination of Paradax, Strange Days, Rogan Josh, Skin, Sooner or Later and Summer of Love. What a thing of beauty that would be.

That first issue of Paradax, with Mirkin the Mystic and Rudcliff & Williams, is probably my favourite single issue of all time. I can't believe it was 20+ years ago!

OHH! Don't tease!

I still need to read Paradax.

TWO Milligan comics I've never read?

This must be my lucky day.

There is a trade for Hewligan's Haricut. I bought it last year.

There is a rumor that the stuff that was published by Eclipse will be reprinted by IDW next year, but nothing concrete yet.
