Question Everything

  • Mar. 25th, 2009 at 11:03 AM
Q_in_TEC, Cully
Another cat escapes the bag, this in the form of Cully Hamner announcing that he's exclusive to DC.

So now I can talk about the fact that Cully and I are doing the co-feature that will begin running in Detective Comics #854, the Batwoman debut issue, this June. Starting with four eight-page chapters, then expanding to ten-pages an issue, and he's been drawing, and it look incredible, and no, I can't share the pages with you.

But I can share his design work, which certainly gives a nice taste of what's to come.

Oh dear Lord, I am *entirely* too excited for this. The fact that I'll get this alongside Batwoman for $4 a pop is just mindblowing.

I have to ask, though - since the characters are pretty closely related and move in and out of each others' lives all the time, will the Question back-up at all relate to/cross over with the main story in the Batwoman feature, or will it just be two totally separate stories? I'm just curious, since I can see either way working really really well, and I can't wait for the book no matter what.

The stories, at this time, are separate. They may interact later on, but for now, Kate gets TEC to herself, though Renee's impact on her life is apparent.

Cully is such awesomeness, and when you put him with YOUR awesomeness....shazam. :)

Er.

So to speak. ;)

"no, I can't share the pages with you"

Tease.

Seriously, though, this is awesome.

Yes.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Hooray!

More Question!

Just when I couldn't look forward to this more...

In fact, I think there are very few ways I could look forward to this more than I am right now.

Looks great! Although I'm not crazy about Renee with short hair...I like that she's butch, yet has long hair.

I'm glad that DC keeps investing in the Montoya character but can't they give her an on-going series?

Cully and I actually went back and forth on the hair, and his argument -- which I actually quite agree with -- is that, if she's a competent martial artists (and we're arguing that she now is), she's not going to leave and easy-to-grab-handhold on her head for a fight.

I suspect the hair will grow and change, much as Charlie's hair did in the O'Neil/Cowan run, of which we are both devoted fans.

Thanks for showing these!

I'm gonna miss Renee's long hair, but I'm glad to see that she is getting a style that is really her own.

Very much the case -- Cully is really working hard to give her a very distinctive look.

I was already going to buy 'Tec, but this is some awesome gravy.

And to join the debate; I like Renee with the short hair better.

Brilliant stuff there. Been looking forward to your upcoming run and this just adds to it. I'm a fan of Cully's art and of The Question so the announcement blew me away :)

Really liked Renee with the longer hair, but I figure a shorter cut is more practical in her line of hands-on work.

Ohhhh, looks wonderful.

I shall definitely be looking forwarded to that. I love reading your Batwoman/Question stuff, I'm glad there is more of it coming.

P.S. I also enjoyed your Nightwing/Flamebird stuff in Action Comics. I'll admit I was a little confused though, as I dropped Action/Superman at the start of the New Krypton storyline. I just wasn't feeling it, and did not really enjoy James Robinson's approach, sadly.

Thanks -- I'm quite happy with how that first issue came out, and the second one got locked down today, so hopefully we shall continue to entertain.

Lots of Ursa being crazy-mean in 876.

Totally excited for this. Looks brilliant.

Let me say I enthusiastically support Renee's shorter, more practical do.

It's a dumb pet peeve, thinking about "realism" in a comic, but in a real street fight against someone with long hair the first thing you do is grab a hunk and jam their face into the wall or nearest table.

When "street" heroes have long hair it makes me nuts.

I'm with you. Wonder Woman, I believe she can get away with long hair. You yank on that, odds are she won't even feel it.

Those of flesh and blood, I think, need more practical shoes, so to speak...along with practical shoes.

Thanks...
...For the wonderful comments, everyone! I really do appreciate it.

RE: Renee's hair... Just so that everyone knows, her sexual orientation had nothing to do with her having short hair, and was in no way an attempt to make her more butch. Actually, aside from my position that it makes her vulnerable in a fight, I just thought it would set her apart from other female comic book characters. Let's face it, almost all of them are drawn with long hair. I like to be different when I can.

And some of the most attractive women I know have short hair. :)

Re: Thanks...
i'm with you, man.

I don't think Catwoman hasn't had much of an issue retaining her allure since Darwyn Cooke cut off her hair.....if anything i thought it made her much cooler!

You sir, are an evil man. Absolutely brilliant and amazingly talented, but nonetheless horribly evil.

I am now in a conundrum about whether to cut my hair for my Question persona or not. Admittably, I look good with short hair (and it'd help another costume that I'm making for DragonCon, she has short hair), but I love my long-ish hair, because I'm a girly-girl when it comes to that.

And I dread showing my girl the wonderfully pretty art since I'm 99% certain she'll say "do it!" and I can't say no to her, 'specially since she loves me enough to be Batwoman.

...... and as I'm writing this comment, I'm slowly convincing myself to do the deed.

You know, I'll be at Dragon Con. You'll have to come by the Gaijin booth and let me get a picture of your Question costume...

This is absolutely fantastic news and that is some terrific and utterly spot-on art. Congrats and kudos to you both for this.

To buy or to buy two copies - that is the Question. /bad Shakespeare humor

I got linked over here with an "omg not Renee's hair!" comment, but I definitely like it. And hey, regardless of the martial arts angle, I frankly think Renee just isn't patient enough to deal with the time investment of long hair while crimefighting - I mean, you have to brush the tangles out all the time once you get home from a fight, it takes forever to dry (which could really matter on cold Gotham winter nights with a short call-out to a crime scene), and of course, as the Question, she has to deal with that worst scourge of all: hat hair.

Plus the designs look, unsurprisingly, amazing. And I love the little aside that Renee's favourite hat is still Charlie's! Awww.

I didn't think I could look forward to June any MORE, but now I really am.
