Valiant Mentioned on Fat Man on Batman
Hey all,
So, if you're not familiar, Kevin Smith does a podcast called Fat Man on Batman. He talks to creators who have had something to do with Batman at some point in their career.
This episode is Joe Quesada. At around the 46 minute mark, Joe starts talking about how he used to be a colorist for Valiant, doing Nintendo books.
Of course I knew he did Ninjak, and some other awesome covers, but never knew that he started off as a colorist during the Nintendo era.
Is that common knowledge? I've never heard it mentioned on the boards before, but granted, I've only been on a couple of years...

Yes! Quesada's first "work" is something like Captain N #3, seriously. The index part of the web site is down right now or I would look it up for you. I believe his first published pencils were in Solar.

Re: Valiant Mentioned on Fat Man on Batman
I love this podcast man. They're not even interviews, it's just conversations with some of the most amazing comic book creators in history. He's had such a high level of talent, I don't know how he's going to keep it up. And they all share so much. It's a pretty amazing show.Elveen wrote:Bone-A-Fach-ee wrote:Hey all,

Never listened to TESD, and don't intend to!

Re: Valiant Mentioned on Fat Man on Batman
I knew that he started out on Knob Row, so I'm not surprised that his first work was on the Nintendo books. Which is kind of ironic I guess...David Lapham's first work was also on the Nintendo books. So a lot of their good artists probably started there.

Sort by price low to high, and the Valiant Kindle Worlds stories will pop to the top.

Re: Valiant Mentioned on Fat Man on Batman
Do it. It is my fav podcast since it began (quickly followed by OTV, mind you ), basically because Kevin loves the BTAS as much- if not more- than myself, which I didn't think was possible in an adult.Elveen wrote:Bone-A-Fach-ee wrote:Hey all,

He had Paul Dini for the first show, and let's just say it was very emotional. I cried listening to those fools cry, because they really get Batman as I get it. If it makes any sense.
Then he got Mark Hamill, Bruce Timm, Kevin Conroy, Scott Snyder and Greg Cappulo, Adam West, Neal Adams, Denny O' Neil, all the great people that made Batman the best character in the world, imho. Except Frank Miller- that's the one missing.
The Quesada episode was one of the worst, sincerelly. Because I think Quesada's work on Batman is just a very well-known poster he did in the early nineties.
Cool interview, but I admitedly listen to FMOB for the Bat-worship. Not so much this time.

Re: Valiant Mentioned on Fat Man on Batman
I hear ya on that. But he's basically had every big "Bat" name in the studio already. Who's left? He's going to have to bring in people with a little less of a tie to the character to keep the show going. As long as it's comic related, I'm cool with it. He had Kyle Higgins, who only did Nightwing, not Batman. Still, a cool episode Loved the Capullo episode(s?) Jim Lee was amazing as well! It's cool getting all of these creators histories, and throwing in a dash of the bat is the twist it needs.ShadowTuga wrote:Do it.

He needs to get Michael Keaton on!

Michael Keaton, absolutely. And eventually someone BIG involved in the Nolanverse movies.
I liked the Kyle Higgins episodes a lot, even if I'm not following Nightwing. I just love to hear how people feel aboth the character- KH is a great bat-fan, for sure.
Jim Lee was also an amazing interview, I agree. And the movie commentaries with Marc Bernardin.
Personally, I'd love to hear Casey Kasem on this podcast: his Robin was "my Robin" when I was a child (4-5ish) and it still echoes in my head everytime I read an old Batman comic.

Re: Valiant Mentioned on Fat Man on Batman
The Grant Morrison episodes (3 in all, I think) were SO good. FMOB is at the top of my "read" pile as far as podcasts go.
This post has been carefully constructed so as to add absolutely nothing to any discussion or topic.

It is Captain N #3 around the middle of the book there is a one page splash that had Joe Q in the credits
