Ronnie Raymond Firestorm!

How does THAT work? I can see Ronnie Raymond, but in what way could he be Firestorm, given the fact that supposedly Firestorm is now some kind of matrix that requires more than one person to activate (not entirely clear on this) and that it is already associated with a living person?

I hope you plan to keep your Promise of naming some background character that you'll only find out the name of in a Secret Files Caleb Lancaster.

The one thing I'd like to draw is....Just one thing? Uh...If I got to draw one last thing before I immediately dropped dead, I suppose it'd be Batman and the Joker. Boring, eh?

If you do it.. I can RIP too.

Hey Ethan:

Ever miss that drunk girl that broke up our interview in NJ and claimed she knew the real Green Lantern? What was she with Danzig or something?

Thanks,
Don

Ssssssshhhhhhhhhhh don't you know he's married?
LOL

Ethan,

How's the drawing going? We met at Mega Con in Orlando and you did a wonderful John Stewart sketch in the back of my custom bound Green Lantern books. (Thanks again btw). But we were discussing how you were trying to buckle down and become a monthly artist. I recently heard you on Wordballoon and you were making progress...like 17 pages in a month or so. How has that been working out? IF Dido/DC green lights (no pun intended) a monthly Flash book I would expect for it to launch out of Blackest Night. So if we do get a new Flash book do you think we'll get word in 2009 or 2010?

Are we going to see Barry's reaction about Bruces Death

[Guest Close oddball2814]

Probably not on that particular trip, but we're alway looking for an excuse to visit the UK. Maybe next year!

That would be awesome.

It was really cool meeting you last year in London and the Kyle Rayner sketch you did for me is the pride of my collection!

Next time i'll save up for a full figure sketch/commission!

No way!

What about the Flash on the cover of THE LAST DAYS OF ANIMAL MAN #3, or is that just another Flash?

To be fair, that story is set in the not to distant future...and you know how those timelines are. .

Mr. Van Sciver,

Is there any hope at all you could make a GLC bikini Calender?

Mr. Van Sciver,

Is there any hope at all you could make a GLC bikini Calender?

Or at least one dedicated entirely to Soranik Natu...

Or at least one dedicated entirely to Soranik Natu...

It reminds me of one of the two commissions I had in mind.

1. Blue Lantern Superman, with Sinestro Corps Batman and Indigo Tribe Wonder Woman at his side*thanks to inspiration via Ethan himself*

2. War of Light Pinup (*left to right, on a beach* Red Lantern Laira and Bleez, an Orange Lantern girl *The Raptor head girl and fire head girl are the least monstrous <_<*, Sinestro Corps Lyssa Drax, Natu and Iolande on either side of a female Guardian, Blue Lantern Sercy and Sayd, Indigo's Indigo, and Star Sapphire Miri and Queen Apa'go. Oh, and Scar in the background, spewing black energy, nearing the lanterns. Trying to keep leadership in where feminine. In a nice beach setting, in spectrum formed bikinis. Would make a great wallposter/teaser *throw in some subtle hints* for things to come. *though, no cons are ever within driving range, so neither pic will see the light of day, sadly*

That moment of brain failing aside, I do have some questions:

1. What was your favorite Black Lantern design?

2. How far back do the dead rising go? Will we see Zombie Lincoln? Undead Caligula? Or, is there no limit to how far off or how old the body is? *Dare I say, Black Ring falling into quantum singularity, and pulling out Black Lantern Darkseid?*

3. What is your favorite Corps?

4. What is your favorite single comic issue to draw?

Mr Van Sciver,

What creative process do you go through when coming up with alien characters or creatures? Do they just spring to mind? or do you base them on animals or some form of existing creature? also who is your favourite non humanoid GL that you have had to draw?
thanks.
