DRAGON*CON 2019 (29 Aug - 02 Sep 2019)
Atlanta, Georgia
My mom with George Perez at DragonCon 2019. He’s one of the nicest celebrities I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. He makes you feel like the most important person in the world while you’re talking to him.
Every year we play “Where’s George?” because every night he’ll be walking around the lobbies of the core hotels admiring all of the cosplay. He usually only makes one lap before people start to recognize him. Then it’s photo-op city. 😂
After approaching him for the last few years, I realize it’s not just his talent that makes him a legend; it’s ...

According to Fernando Blanco, he was brought in at the last minute to
draw Flashpoint: Secret Seven because Perez could not finish his pages
in time. FLASHPOINT: SECRET SEVEN #1 (Jun 2011) only featured 15 pages from Perez and Blanco was brought in to finish pages 16-20. Also FLASHPOINT: SECRET SEVEN #2 (Jul 2011),
although originally listed Perez as interior artist, featured Fernando
Blanco as the entire interior artist. Below are some unpublished
layouts.
Illustrating that news you can see some Marvel Zombies Supreme pencils
with one of the scenes that I was happier and some Secret
Seven unpublished layouts, because at the end, George Pérez was able to
complete his pages in time.
Welcome to another edition of What Are You Reading? This week our special guest is Robert Stanley Martin.

Secret Seven I am less enthused about, which is too bad,
because I am a fan of both Peter Milligan and George Perez. To put it
bluntly, I don’t think Perez is entirely right for this material —
which, again, is too bad, because if he had channeled some of the old
post-psychedelia ’70s mojo, he could really have done something special
with it. The story doesn’t help much, though: Rac Shade, disgraced
leader of “the Seven,” gets called home to an alternate dimension where
he’s alternately tortured and debriefed. This is where all the
psychedelia comes in (or, more accurately, could have been amplified.)
Meanwhile, June Moone, the Enchantress, is out in the real world looking
for him. Fernando Blanco takes over the art for the book’s last few
pages, and inker Scott Koblish ties together his work with Perez’s to
make everything flow together, but it’s a lot of setup without much
payoff. I’ll probably end up getting the whole thing, and I think
there’s some potential here; but it doesn’t thrill me like I thought it
would.
FLASHPOINT: SECRET SEVEN #1
comes to us from a distinguished creative team indeed. Peter Milligan
is the writer of many acclaimed titles, notably SHADE THE CHANGING MAN,
the cult classic published by Vertigo in the ‘90s. From CRISIS ON
INFINITE EARTHS to INFINITE CRISIS, artist George Perez is no stranger
to major events. Joining them on the project are artist Scott Koblish,
who has worked on various DC titles for decades, including SUPERMAN,
FINAL CRISIS, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, and WONDER WOMAN, and Fernando
Blanco, the artist of FALLEN ANGEL.
When it comes to a series written by Milligan starring Shade the
Changing Man, the “leader” of the Secret Seven, one might expect a level
of otherworldly weirdness. The first four pages certainly pave the way
for a surreal journey to come….
