Mandi: Don't you just love Randy Green? He's such a nice guy. And talented. And he's got balls o' steel. Can you imagine taking over the book Mike Turner left? I admire his courage. He has my full support.

Jenny: Yeah, it must suck to be doing the best damned work of your life and have people tell you it sucks. I mean, if he were taking over almost ANY other book in reality, people wouldn't be reacting so violently, I don't think. His stuff gets better with every page I see.

Jim: Plus he's such a neat guy you gotta root for nice people.

Mandi: Contrary to popular belief, Dennis Heisler does not wear these I Have Lots Of Chest Hair shirts all the time. He owns real clothes. Nice ones. At the 2nd Annual DOTB Dinner he wore these really spiffy threads. Like, we walked up and I saw him and I thought, "Who's that dude? He looks like Dennis. Damn! That is Dennis!" ZZ Top was playin' Sharp Dressed Man in my head. I wish I had a picture.

Jenny: Modification: I wish I had a picture when he wasn't making that "I'm wicked drunk face." And damn, he did look good.

Jim: Ya but now he's in like Idaho and who knows when he'll get a chance to wear his good duds.

Mandi: The ever-smiling JD Smith. I don't know how he manages his work and his personal life and still maintain a smile. He's the coolest.

Jenny: Because he knows that people like me abjectly worship him. And I do. In a non-agenda sort of way. I mean, really. I bough Green Lantern books because he coloured the cover.

Jim: and I bought it because Jen said to (hahaha).

Mandi: Andy Kim, Dave Finch and Jonathan Sibal. I considered asking Dave if he'd sign my ball bearing. I didn't though. I figured he might not take it in the spirit in which it was intended.

Jenny: Nope. He was pretty damned cranky that day. He was borderline mean to me. I recoiled in fear and wondered what I had said. I still don't know. And seeing how it was three months ago, I never will.

Mandi: I just love this picture. There are so many people and you can't really see anyone's face clearly. I thought I could pull off this nice shot of everyone at the signing. Apparently not.

Jenny: Yeah, but I think it carries off the whole feeling of a signing rather well. Lots of people harrassing professionals for signatures. And if I'm not mistaken, sketches. Like little Mikey. Some of those sketches look suspiciously like "draw me something while I'm in line having you sign stuff" sketches with gold pen. Sometimes I'm embarrassed to know him.
