I've been in Mike Richardson's office a few times. That's the shit too. I saw the mask from The Mask, all manner of other signature movie props and enough original comic art from across the spectrum of the medium that Linda Tripp advised I put my skivvies in a safe deposit box, just in case.

They took canon and fucked it with a giant, bladed strap-on.

So I'm kind of curious why you would come along and pick that name (common enough) but then see that it was taken, and so decide, "Well, hrm, I guess I'll just slap a "II" at the end of it, so as not to be confused with the other guy who chose this name."

Or did you just pick "Sherlock Holmes II" straight-up, and never knew there was another on here? I could see that, I suppose.

Just curious. We don't see a lot of "sequel" names or names with numbers popped on the ends of them around here-- That's kinda AOL's thing.

And yes, I've been on AICN entirely too long. I'm an old-timer, now.

Yeah, Dark Horse does a damn fine job with Star Wars. Better than Lucas anyway. It's a passable property. Although, it has pretty much eaten up the entire Dark Horse line. Goon and any Hellboy related comics are still their best original properties.
