Too bad. His run on the comic marked the first time in a couple of decades that I've had even the slightest interest in that character. He did a darn good job with the book, and I have absolutely no doubts that after his final issue vast suckage will ensue.

He's the man. I don't know why he doesn't have more high profile work.

Actually he wrote the script to "The Changling" which starred Angelina Jolie and was directed by Clint Eastwood.

But you are right in alluding to the fact that he's not a household name. I'm pretty sure the majority of people in the general public who know him are B5 fans.

He's well known in comic book circles. Had a long run on The Amazing Spider-Man (2001-2007) and also worked on Fantastic Four for a while.
