i sort of liked the crossover.
However, i have heard that the new character from the crossover, Access, will
be getting his own book! That gives writers a way to put both Marvel & DC
characters in the same book every month!! Kewl? I think so.

You read this already, but incase you haven't...
DC comics will be publishing out "All Access" next month. This will feature
artist Jackson Guice (co-creator of X-Force and a popular Action Comics). The
four issue mini series will star Access, the multi-company hero from the DC
vs Marvel crossover. The first issue is a double sized issue and will feature
Superman Spider-Man and Venom. In November they'll put out two issues, Robin,
Jublie, Two-Face, and Daredevil will apear in the #2 while #3 has LOTS of
superheros from both companies. The last issue is also a double sized issue.
It will feature a X-Men and JLA as they find out who is the villian who wants
rejoin the two universes. There will be another crossover next summer, this
time published by Marvel.

Or perhaps a What If/Elseworlds crossover. What do you think? Or Shadowline
(an old Epic line)/Vertigo crossover? Hey the possibles are endless (get it?
Sandman... Endless Family).

Here's the latest Amalgam news. There will be 12 one-shots, all new titles,
in April. Some of the other Amalgam characters will reappear in these
issues.
Kurt Busiek will write the Iron Lantern issue. Mark Waid might be
writing one, but I haven't confirmed it yet.

here's an idea. why don't we all think of our own amalgamated characters
(or teams for the really ambitious)? i'll try and come up with a few to get
started later on after i'm finished reading the comics i haven't gotten around
to yet..

I'd like to see a Spawn/Bone Amalgam. We could call it Spoon.
More seriously, I'd like to see a Hunter Rose Grendel/Joker Amalgam.

I'd like to see Linsner (creator of Dawn) to do an Angela story. It isn`t
really a crossover, but after I saw the ANgela cover he did for Wizard,
I'd like to see how he would do it.

I don't see wantsthe fuss is about Dawn. I checked out the first issue, this
is what I found... two guys in mideavil clothing and sword are suiting up.
They go into battle in New York filled with demons fighting angels withe the
demons winning. The bump into Dawn, who is a half naked bad girl who grabs
one of the guys and starts to make love with him while the rest of the earth
is facing the end. Now is this just me, or is this bad. Plus, I think if it
wasn't for Linsner painting skills his line art would suck. This is my opinion
which you are free to disagree with.

I do disagree Dave. I think Dawn is an attempt to create a new mythology.
Linsner gives his views on good and evil and shows what he thinks would
happen if man had the power of angels and demons. Admittedly, he should have
made his story clearer without writing Dawn 1/2 to tell the readers what
it's all about, but he's the only person in comics who does this. If you
know of anyone else in comics who created a mythological/philosophical
comic, please let me know.
As for Linsner's artwork, I love it. I try to get whatever Linsner art
I can find. He rarely disappoints me. You have to look at the art to
understand what the character are feeling. Unlike most comics, Dawn doesn't
rely soly on dialogue for emotional impact. The unspoken thoughts and
feelings Linsner illustrates broadens the story. Most comics (I know
there are good exceptions) just have the characters say something with
a corresponding expression.
This, of course, is just my opinion also.

hey dave, is Frew a mythological/philosophical book?

Yes, Frew is. Spawn is. Maxx is. Sandman is. CreeD is. I could name off lots
of others. But your point is made and understood.
In the facial expressions, I find it very important to the art. Savage
Dragon is an example of this. Erik Larsen does this a lot to express the
character feelings since he never uses thought bubbles. This something that
I'm trying to do in Aceman. But, what I was saying about his art, although
it may protray feelings (which is better than 3/4 of the stuff out there) I
still think the quality is poor.

Bat Thing is another Amalgam title. The story is about a man who survives
a tragic lab accident but is transformed into half man, half bat.
How many Amalgams of Batman do they expect to do? This is the third one.

It's definite: a second Amalgam week is forthcoming, most likely sometime in
April. Once again, DC and Marvel will release twelve Amalgam titles (six from
each company); while we don't know the names of all the creators, here's the
word on the Amalgam releases, as supplied by Evan Meadow via the internet:
Challengers of the Fantastic (Karl Kesel, Tom Grummett, and Al Vey); Exciting
X-Patrol; Iron Lantern (Kurt Busiek and Paul Smith); Magneto and the Magnetic
Men (Tom Peyer and Barry Kitson); Spider-Boy Team-Up (Karl Kesel and Roger
Stern); Thorion of the New Asgods (Keith Giffen and John Romita Jr.);
Bat-Thing; Dark Claw Adventures; Gen Hex; JLX Unleashed; Lobo the Duck (Alan
Grant and Val Semeiks); and Super Soldier Man O'War (Mark Waid and Dave
Gibbons). Once again, the Amalgam books will take the place of regular DC
Universe and Marvelverse titles on the schedule for one week.
