FenrisUlf Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Like it says above. I like his work a lot, so if some of you nice folks could tell me what he's been doing these last 2-3 years & will be doing in the near future (aside from Astro City, of course), I'd be very appreciative. And is it just me, or is he one of the best writers in comics right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpira Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Re: What's Busiek done lately? Well he has been doing some Astro City's and he is supposed to take over on JLA. I think that we should probably move all these comic book posts to NGD though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Serpent Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Re: What's Busiek done lately? As posted on a previous thread... Arrowsmith! Labor of love by Busiek and Carlos Pacheco. Well-written, well-drawn, entertaining. Alternate WWI (yes, ONE) where fantasy and magic replace the normal early 20th C tech - fly with the aid of spells and dragons instead of biplanes, fire-bomb using bound Salamanders, etc. Six issue mini-series, and also half of a "flip book" with Astro City on the other side. Get a trade/back issues if you can, and hopefully more will be forthcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterhawk Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Re: What's Busiek done lately? He's also starting a new run of Thunderbolts, in November if I'm not mistaken. And I agree w/you, Fenris, one of the best in the biz, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Re: What's Busiek done lately? He and George Perez started the newest series of Avengers (the classic versions, not the Ultimate line). Quite popular and critically acclaimed - kind of a return to classic characterizations and plots, but with a more modern sensibility a la Astro City. Busiek and Perez also produced the recent Avengers/JLA crossover epic miniseries. I found that to be fun and exciting, with some interesting comparisons of the two comic universes. Started a bit slow and predictably IMHO, but worked up to a rousing finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Re: What's Busiek done lately? I like what I've read of his, which isn't too much. I've read his Thunderbolts stuff and the Avengers/JLA thing. I like that he knows his comic book history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyendasky80 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Re: What's Busiek done lately? Busiek's Conan has been getting great reviews so if you ever liked Conan you should pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffreyWKramer Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Re: What's Busiek done lately? Busiek on JLA' date=' thank you god!!! When will this happen?[/quote'] As soon as Chuck Austen's current, very wretched run on JLA is complete, Busiek and Garney have a story arc - the return of the post-CRISIS, Grant Morrison version of the Crime Syndicate of Amerika - followed by Dan Jurgens and someone else doing an arc of some sort for 4-5 issues, then Busiek and Garney are slated as the ongoing team. I'm very much looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busiek's Conan has been getting great reviews so if you ever liked Conan you should pick it up. Busiek writes a very good Conan, both true to the original RE Howard stories and very much in the spirit of the heyday of the old Marvel version. The art has been top-notch as well. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
