I think Jeph Loeb is alternatively fantastic and terrible.
A good example of the latter being his "color" books mentioned in the article, each of which I stopped getting after two issues.

At least it's implied that the Redulk is not Banner.

Also, I love McGuinness for over-the-top stuff.

all loeb's batman books = a decent read ( - & i like heroes - he does have something to do with that, doesn't he...? ) - but i can't get over my suspicion that's he's a saboteur sent by dc to fuck up marvel ( like geoff johns was a few years ago ) ( it took the avengers ages to recover from his "input" ) ( but his jsa & particularly "52" = goob )

loeb's characterisation of hawkeye in the recent "fallen son" books = appalling, imo

mcguinness ( unlike guinness ) = not for me but i'm glad to hear that someone's getting enjoyment

ps. sorry if all my yak yak yak abt uk telly progs = a bit dull as dishwater pour vous - you seem to be coping admirably tho

I often end up reading Loeb stuff just because I like Sale's art, but they did together which I think was genuinely ace, perhaps because they had more leeway than on the big projects - Challengers Of The Unknown Must Die!

Be warned, it plays a lot faster and looser with the team than you might expect from Loeb & Sale...

But yes, I think I had it from an Islington library.
