The 2nd Ben Raab Interview
Rahsas: Hey Benny. You're online more than me.
BRaab1013: How do you know... if every time you're online, I'm online? ;-)
Rahsas: lol
Rahsas: Do you have any plans for Excalibur beyond 125?
BRaab1013: Yes, I do
BRaab1013: But don't ask, 'cuz I ain't tellin'... ;-)
Rahsas: Oh, I know that.
Rahsas: How long do you plan on staying on Excalibur?
BRaab1013: As long as they'll let me
Rahsas: How long is that?
BRaab1013: Good question
Rahsas: What does the contract say?
BRaab1013: I don't have a contract. I'm freelance
Rahsas: OIC
Rahsas: Are you going to do anything with Rory becoming Ahab in the near future?
BRaab1013: maybe....maybe not
Rahsas: Anymore time travelling stories in the near future?
BRaab1013: we'll see
Rahsas: Did you ever get mail from burke@nauticom.net?
BRaab1013: not that I know of
Rahsas: She was the one that had all those long questions at the end of my email that I sent to you.
BRaab1013: ah. I see... nope. nothing from her
Rahsas: Are you sure that Nightcrawler wont return to the X-Men?
BRaab1013: You'll just have to wait and see, won'tcha? ;-)
Rahsas: Because Chris Bachalo said at a chat the following and what he says usually always comes true:
IronHog: Chris: do you picture your self drawing Nightcrawler in the pages of Uncanny in the...
IronHog: forseable future?
CBach30733: Ironhog - nightcrawler in UXM a definite possibility
Maggott344: Mr Chris,any development in the return of Kitty, Kurt and Pete to X-Men?
CBach30733: Maggott- If I were a betting man I'd bet on it
BRaab1013: Well, if what Chris says is gospel, then why bother asking me...?
Rahsas: Just checking from the horses mouth.
Rahsas: I always have to double check things.
Rahsas: Do you have your eyes set on doing any book(s) besides Excalibur? If so, which book(s)?
BRaab1013: Well, nothing really established. have some ideas for new series of my own...
Rahsas: Is it a series created within Marvel or another company?
BRaab1013: so far, I have two new characters in development with DC....one ongoing series, one limited
Rahsas: What do you think of Liefeld's Fighting American?
BRaab1013: Haven't really read it
Rahsas: Does it seem like a direct copy of Captain America to you (at face value)? *grin*
BRaab1013: Well, yeah...sure. But it's not like he's the first person out there to swipe a concept. Though this sure isn't his first offense...
Rahsas: He could have been subtle about copying it. But he was just to blatant. I wonder how long it will last. Maybe two more issues.
Rahsas: What ahppened to Scribe/Mountjoy after the duel with Madlyne in X-man?
Dead? Returned to prison? comatose?
BRaab1013: I have no idea...I didn't write that story
Rahsas: Shaw seems to have separated himself from Maddilyne and Selene. Did this happen "between issues" in the X-books in general?
BRaab1013: I guess...probably has to do with the fact that those stories were told by 2 different writers...things tend to fall between the cracks that way Rahsas: The interaction between the meeting of NM Rahne and Excalibur Rahne was done VERY well. I missed a lot of her character development in X-factor, would you say there was any one event in particular that helped her loosen-up?
BRaab1013: Not sure... just kinda see her as having grown up some... and loosened up a bit as a result of experience...
Rahsas: isn't it an editor's job to catch these cracks? Or do they just come in to mess things up even further? (especialy 3 in 1 year)
BRaab1013: well, it IS their job... but they're only human... (and yes, 3 in year DOES NOT help)
Rahsas: I'm only human, You're only human, the editors are only human, the President is only human...
Used to be being human was something to be proud of...
BRaab1013: oh yeah? when? LOL
Rahsas: Good queston... Pre-darwin, maby? Even after we were concidered the top of the food chain, and the lateststep in evolution.(pre-HomoSuperior) Rahsas: Kylun ever find his parents?
BRaab1013: Maybe... we'll see @ 124, 125... ;-)
Rahsas: The transiton from dimentional-gate forming kermit head to being Kate from Phoenix's time line kind of lost me. (i saw the physical development, and read the issue giving the origin of the new widget, but the transition is still quite fuzzy. Having prepared to bring it/her back, can you shed a little light on this?
BRaab1013: Not right now... maybe another time, k?
Rahsas: *nods* k.
Rahsas: Are you busy?
BRaab1013: kinda
