Get X-Statik One More Time!

NRAMA: One of the big stories coming out of the summer convention season is the return of the X-Statix. Did you and Peter have this planned all along, or was it something that came about later?
MA: Peter got the bug. I guess he felt Dead Girl's story hadn't been told completely. It broke my heart when I was first approached because I figured there was no way I could be involved with my schedule and being late on Volume 3 of The Golden Plates.
But after some back and forth, scheduling discussions, and the compromise of me doing the inks and covers, I'm able to play ball now. Everything is falling groovily into place.

BTW, is anyone reading The Golden Plates? (Yes, this is part of my diabolical scheme to conflate mutants w/ Mormons.) (Mormants.) (Or mutons.)

WTF is the Golden Plates?

WikiPedia!

"The Golden Plates is the name most frequently used to refer to the "gold plates" that Joseph Smith, Jr. said he received from the angel Moroni and used as the ancient source for the English translation of The Book of Mormon. In reference to the plates, the Book of Mormon was commonly known as the "Golden Bible" during the 1830s. Smith later became the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement."

Issue one read, issue two on the to-be-read pile; er, as in to-be-read sometime or other, probably; or I might just look at the pretty pictures. I'm a big Allred fan, have been since Dead Air, but this comic book adaptation of the Book Of Mormon is so tedious.

I love the way that you van just about pick out Batman and Superman in that picture.

Mike Allred should so write/draw a Wildcat series.

I kinda already scooped this! Without Allred-spoken goodness, though. And I linked to a random other board.
