There is a thread on Millarworld about this that was sort of funny, and somemen told me I was mentioned about when Deena and Christion interview Kabuki. So I went to check it out.
It's kind of interesting.
And I posted with this response:
Hey friends,
That Oni special was a great one. I have the original art page that Oeming drew where Deena and Christian interview Kabuki and Oeming is sort of aping and poking at some quirks in one of my Kabuki art styles. It was a hilarious page.
And I remember that Drew Hayes thing. It is in one of Bendis' books. Maybe TRUE CRIME CONFESSIONS.
I think it was that I told Brian that Drew would be a sport about it. I knew Drew and Brian didn't. And at the time, Drew's look was a long haired, bearded sort of burly motorcyle gang look to him. So Bendis had the idea of poking at him in the letters collumn and I encouraged it.
And then Drew showed up at a con growling and ranting at Brian and Drew's physical demeanor really took Brian by surprise which I think he cronicles in his book.
I also have the original art pages from Powers where they introduce a "Detective David Mack". And then Oeming proceeds to draw me for an entire story arc.
And remember that Powers arc they had where Warren Ellis does a ride along?
And here is something that I don't think is necasarily a poke, but it occured to me when I was having a dinner with Neil Gaiman and noticed that he has exactly the same distinct tooth as Spider Jerusulam. I only read the Transmet that I did art for and a couple early issues, so forgive me if this is common knowledge. But it made me think that Spider incorporated Gaiman's tooth, Alan Moore's bearded look when we first meet Spider in the first issue, and Grant Morrison's look when he is shaved bald. As an amalgam of the UK writer's in Ellis' stomping grounds. The entire thing occured to me when I was sitting next to Neil and noticed his tooth as we were eating sushi, so it could be nothing or it could be common knowledge that I am not hip to. But the tooth is exact, and made me think that Warren had to do it on purpose. |

That Gaiman tooth thing is really interesting. It's probably too big a coincidence to be... um, a coincidence. _________________

I think Warren has said in one of his Q & A threads over at MillarWorld that he doesn't know Neil Gaiman at all. |

Garth Ennis put Neil Gaiman, Sandman and Death in a Preacher arc. It was a pretty good spoof and Dillion drew it well. _________________ "The Highlander was a documentary and the events happened in real times." -Master Shake |

Hehehe. In the Punisher issues with Wolvie and the Midgets, the last splash page has a midget Spider, Precher, and Constantine, i believe. And I think a midget Garth winking in the corner _________________ http://www.angelfire.com/comics/spg

Yes and no.
Let's hijack Mack 's thread and just talk about sushi. I think like Unagi (eel) the best, but spicy tuna is also delicious. _________________

I ate at the best sushi place last week, but the best part was a weird roll that I forgot the name of. I used to eat only shrimp, but then I branched out. _________________

Yes Sushi is GOOD. Probably my favorite meal.
My faves are Unagi (eel) Saba (mackeral) and SALMON!
Love the salmon any way you do it. Spicy tuna is probably fourth on my list. |

I prefer fish sammiches. Fish sammiches that have a passing resemblance to Mark Millar. _________________
