This is a belated post, but I figure I should point out that my brother Brian has been the namesake for not one but two bit characters in DC Comics over the last several months. Marc Andreyko named a federal agent (or is he?) after him in Manhunter, and Geoff Johns made him a prison guard in Green Lantern. We’re hoping that Warner Bros. will option the movie rights soon.
In the meantime, Brian’s trying to boost the readership on Manhunter. Check out the site for the 20K challenge. Andreyko cowrote Torso with Brian Bendis, and that was a darned good book, so I can wholeheartedly endorse this effort.
Yes, thank you, thank you. Please, no pictures. Ah what the heck, I’m likely to be killed off in the next issue, so flash away while I’m still breathing.
And thanks, Dave, for mentioning the Manhunter 20K Challenge. Fans of the series are working hard to increase sales so this great series isn’t cancelled anytime soon. If folks want to check it out there’s a trade available: Manhunter: Street Justice.
