Kevin Melrose talks to David Hahn, the new artist on Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, who does a fun bit of name-dropping:
Outside of your studio mates, do you spend much time with local creators? I imagine hours spent in coffeehouses, talking craft and complaining about editors. Am I way off?
Not way off at all. My family and I go to dinner parties at Brian Bendis’s home fairly regularly, but as far as talking shop, that happens in the studio. We used to meet for coffee with Greg Rucka at a shop near his home, but then we thought, “Why don’t we just get a studio going?” So doing the coffee-and-sketch thing is now pretty much a solitary activity for me. That’s the way I like it.
Kevin chats with him about several upcoming projects, including Spidey Luvs MJ and All Nighter, an upcoming Minx title.

That’s not name dropping, that’s just daily life in Portland, Oregon.

Indeed, Steve. I’ve lost count of the number of times I see Bendis cycling around hawthorne/belmont in the summer (NOT STALKING – I live there and walk around a lot too
)

Am I the only one happy to hear Hahn’s suggestion that SMLMJ has a life after issue #20?

You’re definitely not the only one.
