Desolation Jones series discussion (spoilers)

Anyone still reading this? I stopped after #7 and I wasn't very impressed... I might order the first volume with my next order as I enjoyed it so much.

Yes. I haven't read #7 or 8 yet though. I will afer more of the arc is complete...the plot is too intricate to read issue-by-issue with the long delays. It kills any momentum the book might get.
 
I just finished reading the first five. I thought it was pretty good. Warren Ellis has yet to let me down.

I agree and the new art isn't that great compared to the last one.
 
Apparently, it's been reported on Newsarama that Dan Didio, when asked
a question about DESOLATION JONES — which I've previously said is on
a hiatus — said that he believed the series wouldn't continue due to my
being exclusive to Marvel. This is, of course, what happens when you put
on the spot a guy who doesn't run the Wildstorm operation day-to-day or
have any reason to know anything about my Marvel deal. Dan Didio has
many powers, several of which are far too disgusting to mention in public,
but telepathy is not yet one of them.

DESOLATION JONES has been put on pause for several reasons, including
my wish to get enough pages in the bank to take the series monthly from
the forthcoming #9. My Marvel deal does not preclude me from continuing
JONES.

The other reason I know JONES is being continued, is that DC themselves
are currently involved in the brokerage of a very interesting media deal that
I cannot yet discuss. Which is something else that poor old Dan would
have no reason to know.

So when you next see Dan Didio, sitting sadly in the lobby of a convention
hotel ruminating on why no-one loves him and how no-one understands
that all the pretty girls have to die… give him a hug. Tell him it's going to
be all right. Do it for me.

This makes Baxter happy.

Desolation Jones has a magnificent universe filled with weird and wacky characters that need to be expanded and explored. The first arc is amazing and the JHW3 art is brilliant. When he left, the book sort of disappeared, popped back up with some weird new artist (that I didn't like) and now it's gone again.

JHW3 should come back. Desolation Jones was too good to live without.
 
Baxter looks a lot more like a lump of raw cookie dough than I had pictured.

And anyway, I find it pretty surprising that Dan Didio doesn't read Warren Ellis's newsletter.

Good to know.

What is this "media deal"? Does it have to do with Desolation Jones? As in, DESOLATION JONES: THE MOVIE/TV SERIES?
This makes Baxter happy.

The new artist, while certainly not JHW3, is pretty much fine with me. But JHW3 coming back would definitely be welcome. Unless he's interested in staying with Morrison's Batman for more than three issues. In that case, I unfortunately have to say, **** Desolation Jones.

I want to see the rest of this arc, though. I even cited the first issue in my Philip K. Dick paper.

Please be a Desolation Jones TV series.
 
And here I thought Ellis' mailing list was being read by a large number of comic book industry professionals --- not out of reverence, but out of a need to keep informed, in the same way people actually pay attention to the Bendis & Friends boards.

Please be a Desolation Jones TV series that doesn't suck.
 
Still no news about that mysterious media deal. Or whether that artist is actually drawing issues.

I want JHW3 to come back and draw it again.

I've seen the artist working on other stuff for an Online company called Optimum Wound Comics. When I saw that it made me angry, then sad.
