I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who gave our first issue a try. It means a lot, I know everyone has a limited Comics budget so it’s always a big deal when they pick up a book I worked on.
So far, DC seems really happy. Comic shops are reporting sell-outs and reorders already, so that is always a good sign.
I love Eel. A lot of readers correctly got the central idea, to go back to Jack Cole’s very first take on the character, which was heavily influenced by crime stories.
I’ve always said there are two ways to write Plas. One is, let him be the straight man and everyone else be the weirdo/comic relief, and the other is, let him be the odd duck in a much straighter world. We chose the second way. Both are valid, but we chose to have him be the focus.
And I love love love the art by Adriana Melo, and the colors of Kelly Fitzpatrick. I can’t wait for you to see the oddball DC characters coming up.
Yay!

I was lukewarm on the first issue but your past work will keep me on board for the next issue at least to see where you are going with the story. Congratulations on the sales success!

Issue 3 was another fun read. Really loved the little meta joke with Plas turning into Harley. Also the way that Harley is oversexualized (especially in the Suicide Squad movie).
I really hope the villain behind the robotic voice ends up being The Brain.
