[QUOTE=ChrisL;4302636]If Arcudi isn’t going to do it then I hope it is Tonci. He nailed the Lobster story published in 2018 Winter Special.[/QUOTE]Problem with that is the length of that story. It was good, but how would he handle the [B]writing[/B] of a full-issue story or even a longer multi-issue tale?
(Though it would be nice to see how he does on a full-issue story.)

I read a review of the new Hellboy film today, and [B]Lobster Johnson[/B] makes a brief appearance, played by [B]Thomas Haden Church[/B].

I keep waiting for word on if/when we may[SIZE=1] (ever?) [/SIZE]see any new stories with the Lobster, but . . .

I love this character so much.
The pulp era feel, the costume, the fact that he basically exists in two different states and eras.
He’s a really special creation.
That’s...pretty much all I wanted to say! :p

I think the post Allie, Arcudi/Mignola fallout might be hindering any new LoJo.
I could also be wildly off base here.

[QUOTE=Joker;5331309]I think the post Allie, Arcudi/Mignola fallout might be hindering any new LoJo.

I don't know. It doesn't matter. Arcudi called out Mignola for knowing about and ignoring the Allie stuff for longer than he let on. There was also some issues between them over the recent Hellboy movie, I believe?
Guy Davis got in to it, too. Turns out it is part of why he left BPRD.
I [I]really[/I] hope I'm remembering this right. I don't want to drag names and be wrong. But [I]I[/I] remember the Allie stuff coming up and basically nothing out of team Mignola. Only Allie getting promoted to writing the books. Which was problematic, but he was dealing with his stuff, it was said.
Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah, I think that's about it and I think its a big part of the low out put in general.

Guy Davis statements:
[QUOTE] regarding DarkHorse/BPRD~ I quit the series in 2011 because of the toxic behavior of Allie, Mignola, Arcudi and cut all contact. In 2015 with news of Allie’s assaults and DH “response”, I cancelled The Marquis HC from DH (which never had a contract for them to solicit)
To clarify my leaving BPRD in 2011, that was due to a toxic work environment with the team. I had no knowledge of Scott’s harassments until announced in 2015[/QUOTE]

Interesting. I hadn't seen that from Guy.
The assumption had always been that concept work on films was why he left.
I looked up the Arcudi stuff, and I was correct. Those tweets and statements have since been deleted by Arcudi, but the internet remembers.
