I'm not a huge FF collector, but I want to see what the guy does over there.<br /><br />It'd be nice to see him on JLA or the Superman titles some day.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-40771930988189807172009-09-23T19:58:08.957-05:002009-09-23T19:58:08.957-05:00I didn't catch on to Eaglesham until his work ...I didn't catch on to Eaglesham until his work on Villians United which I thought was a great colaboration between him and Simone. I actually met him here in Ottawa as he lives on a farm about an hour outside the city. It was just before he started on JSA but was unable to tell anyone. Both he and his wife seemed like genuinely good people. <br /><br />I used to get Fables in trades all the time. I've slipped a bit on that trend recently and I will probably get back to it some day.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-65395091045717490402009-09-23T13:33:29.694-05:002009-09-23T13:33:29.694-05:00I know its probably not hip to like someone as set...I know its probably not hip to like someone as set in the grand-old-style as Eaglesham, but he does it astoundingly well. I've thoroughly enjoyed his work.<br /><br />I will flatly say that (a) I don't read Fables, so I have no attachment to Willingham as a writer. When I do read him, he seems mired in the 70's and 80's style. (b) Matt Sturges' work is usually fairly flat, which is why I think it meshes with Willingham. His Blue Beetle is usually very middle of the road, and not as much fun as the work by Rogers that preceded it.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-36666532406553189762009-09-23T12:37:44.166-05:002009-09-23T12:37:44.166-05:00Yes, it is Willingham and Sturges.

Its unfortunate that Didio and Co. seem to assign jobs by who their pals are instead of by who is going to carry the title forward in a way the audience would most likely follow, while building on that same audience.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-68855396713148727212009-09-23T10:56:24.190-05:002009-09-23T10:56:24.190-05:00I have said my piece on the current state of JSA. ...I have said my piece on the current state of JSA.
