i dont know about adding more stuff about jeph's son, but if you guys think that nobody'll mind, i'm sure i could add (or ask people to add) more about sam, because we were in the same program at the same high school and all. Applegoddess 03:45, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Sounds like a nice idea. I wrote the stuff that was already there, but feel free to delete it, as someone who had more interaction with Sam is better qualified than I am to speak of hiss tragic death.
- You might want to do it on Sam's page, assuming it sticks around. Darquis 02:01, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lost Credits
While watching Lost (TV series), I've noticed Jeph's name in the credits for the last few weeks, but I haven't been able to catch what he's doing on the show, exactly. I'd assume this information would be useful in Wiki; next time I catch it, I'll update, if someone hasn't beaten me to it. --Ridingthebomb 20:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
I interpret the phrase "Jeph Loeb was a writer and supervising producer for Smallville and Lost" as meaning that he was a writer and producer for both shows. While this is certainly true for Smallville, I haven't been able to find any confirmation that he has actually wriiten anything for LOST... (I know he has helped produce the show, but I haven't seen his name in any writing credits.) Anyone have any insight for me? Should this phrase be revised to say: "Jeph Loeb was a writer and supervising producer for Smallville and was a producer for many episodes of Lost." Rossr 09:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ultimates vol 3
"As of September 1, 2005, Loeb began an exclusive contract with Marvel. His first series was Volume 3 of The Ultimates, with Joe Madureira on art."
Has volume three come out yet? (october 2006) In either case, it makes it sound like that series was published near to the quoted date, which is incorrect.
I deleted that because it was grossly inaccurate. His Ultimates work has not been published yet making the statement invalid. I probably should have changed it to "Will be doing . . . etc" but I didn't. My bad. Rayner23 02:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Popularity?
I don't see a single mention of how DIS-liked his work often is in the fan-community. His 'narration' in the Our Worlds At War issues of Superman were laughable at best, and the announcement of his upcoming Ultimates gig forced many fans to drop the title from their buy-lists.
His Batman:Hush storyline is credited with turning Batman away (yet again) from the gritty realism established by Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker over the previous several years, towards the presents emphasis on brightly coloured superheroics.
He was the man responsible for writing the disasterous Captain America issues of 'Heroes Reborn' with Rob Liefeld. He then went on to write the patchwork left-over pages from that run that turned into 'Fighting American', again by Liefeld.
In my local comic shop, his name usually envokes either laughter or anger. Surly, we can't be the only people that feel this way ?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.53.97.70 (talk) 07:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC).
I agree, this should probably be added to the article, but not in a tasteful way. Rayner23 02:19, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree that Jeph Loeb it's a total jerk, his writing is terrible, I can only thing that he have lucky once with some batman stories, and that by some miracle he know a bunch of very good comic artist. But overall, he SUCKS! This article is totally over the top, it's not inacurate but too flattering.
