Image fired him off Fear Agent first.

Then Dark Horse fired him off Fear Agent as well.

I know this is an unpopular opinion around here but other than the shit-fest that was his Wolverine run I've enjoyed everything by Loeb I've ever read (that I knew was by him)

Ultimates 3/Ultimatum?

Generally, all of his collaborations with Tim Sale (except Challangers of the Unknown) are solid-to-great.

HULK really brought his credibility as a creator down to the levels they are now, moreso than anything he'd ever done prior.

I didn't really like Dark Victory or When in Rome, but Long Halloween is amazing.

I liked The Long Halloween but Superman/Batman and Batman: Hush were enough to make me go "ugh" at everything else he ever decided to do. Plus, I hated his movies and I did not like Smallville, which had his fingerprints all over.

Superman/Batman was Hulk-level bad. But I didn't mind Hush.

by **Zero** » Tue Aug 21, 2012 2:03 pm

I read Hush again last week, it really fails as a mystery but as a tour of Bat-Villains it's not as bad as I remembered. Made Riddler and Two-Face interesting, even if the two were reverted to normal quick-smart.

I thought everyone had turned around and started to like Loeb's Hulk for it's ridiculousness after the fact?

I certainly enjoyed it.

Thank you. I apologise for accusing the moderators of editing posts. I had a similar issue on CBR (they do hold back posts before making them public, which I strongly object to.

I Dunno where you got that from, I'm under the impression the book is just "ending" :smt017

I did a search and found nothing. I just got preoccupied posting my column, then I made a tuna sangwich, and then I was playing fetch with my dog and then I came back and forgot to write down that I found nothing.

Despite what all these dicks keep saying, I hope you make it to 1000 posts!

you can say "its not here" all you want
but his claim that Scottie Young is a tracer is all over this site

just like Kirkman's promise that all creator owned comics will make millions of dollars is all over Image's site
