Kevin, loved the new Bluntman & Chronic GN...i even enjoyed the sly
replacements of the deleted J&SBSB dialogue and such. Though, i must say,
the sly jabs at the comics industry (Warren Ellis Forum suddenly We're
Easily Fooled and Overly Dialogued Archer Man as your own Green Arrow
strike me the funniest) hit closer to home for me personally, especially
the Diamond Comics bit. As a former Customer Service Rep for Diamond (who
was uncerimoniously fired for, ahem, "excesive use of company
e-mail"...what bullshit) that bit with Newsgroup is my personal fave of the
entire book. I have a small question, however...why no inclusion of the
comic from the opening of Chasing Amy done by Allred? And, as much as I
love Powers and the art-team there, why didn't you use Allred again on the
art for the GN (my only guess is that he was far too busy on X-force). Will
the opening credits comic be included in the hardcover edition? Seeing as
it is sort of a pre-cursor to "The Derris Affair", i think it really should
be included (especially since the only availble tangible version is in
black and white in the TWO SCRIPTS book), and i'm sure fans of the comic
(and the movie) would agree. I know there's a pretty slim chance you'll
read and respond to this, b
