Whats your favorite Avengers creative team?

Englehart and Perez. They were writing the team when I first started reading and I have always had a soft spot for those stories.

If there is one book that you think deserves that Absolute or Omnibus treatment but hasn’t received it yet, what is it?

Camelot 3000 from DC. Usually when people talk about all-time great books, it is overlooked for some strange reason. It is a well crafted story with excellent artwork.

What book are you currently reading ?

Derek Coward — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 21:24:48 +0000

I am reading Homicide: A Year On The Killing Streets by David Simon, Stardust by Neil Gaiman, Irredeemable Vol 4 by Mark Waid and Diego Barreto and The Legend of Kamui: Perfect Collection Vol. 1 by Sanpei Shirato.

What side of the force represents me best, the light or dark side? Choose wisely

Derek Coward — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 03:14:20 +0000

You? Light side. You come across like a Darth Whatever, but you’re a Mace Windu at heart..

What’s the band or song you hear that takes your right back to high school? Meaning you hear the song and you can remember people, places, feelings and things from high school?

Derek Coward — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 04:56:16 +0000

777-9311 by The Time. Not all of the memories from that time are good ones, but that song always triggers some sort of recollections.

If you could be anyone living or dead, real or fictional for 24 hours. Who would it be? Why? What would you do for the day?

Derek Coward — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 12:47:18 +0000

I’m not one of those people who wants to be anybody else. If I had to choose, it would be a deity of some sort. Go big or go home.

I would spend the day crushing my enemies and hearing the lamentations of their women, that kind of thing. I don’t think most people would want me to be a deity.

For the record, I’d gladly take a roadtrip to San Diego with you, but since you barely know me, that will probably never happen. ANYWAY, is there a comic book story or collective issues that you’d love to have in trade but has never been printed as such?

Derek Coward — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 00:14:29 +0000

Oh yeah that’s easy. Thriller (the 80s title), Grendel 20-23 (which is never be reprinted due to the condition of the original artwork), Vext (by Keith Giffen and Mike McKone), Chase (which I think is scheduled to be traded next year), The Crew (by Priest) and I would love for someone to buy the rights to the Hero Alliance stuff and reprint The Sentry Special.

A lot of the stuff I like is from the time before everything was traded and isn’t as historically important to be reprinted.

If you were stuck on a desert island, what’s the one thing your bring with you? Pet, computer, book, movie? What and why!?

Derek Coward — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:21:25 +0000

I’m going to assume you mean a deserted island with electricity and an internet connection, otherwise bringing a computer or a movie would be useless.

Pet: My cat Camille, because she is the sweetest kitty in the entire world.

Computer: My laptop, because it has all my stuff on it.

Book: That’s a threeway tossup between One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, The General With His Labyrinth by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Palomar by Gilberto Hernandez. But if I really had to only pick one, I would go with Palomar because the combination of words and pictures is beautiful and it has a great rereadability factor.

Movie: I consider The Lord of The Rings to be one great big movie and I would bring the Extended Version. 12 Hours of Majestic Epicness.

You are tasked with choosing Indiana Jones or Star Wars, only one can survive, what do you choose? Why?

Derek Coward — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:11:58 +0000

Star Wars. I prefer stories that can deal with entire universes (or galaxies) as opposed to stories about one person. The Extended Universe has shown there are a lot of stories that can be told in the Star Wars Universe.

Indiana Jones is one guy and although there are a lot of stories that can be told with one guy, after a while it just becomes ridiculous that all these things can happen to the same guy over and over again.

Also with Star Wars you can make stuff up as you go along, with Indy, you are trapped by history.
