Not being a comic reader, I have no idea what you're on about.

Odd choice of name. Have the writer(s) of the comic *really* not heard of award-winning author Jonathan Carroll?

Or perhaps they've just got it in for literary fantasy writers. Watch out for new SuperVillain Ramsey Campbell in upcoming months.

Of course not. But soon, comics fans will be demanding to know why some American writer has named himself after a comics character.

Jim Lee (man behind the Dc reboot at the moment) knows Jonathan Carroll personally apparently - whether this is meant as a joke or a serious insult is up for debate...

I'd say it's a joke, Weber, and one that Carroll would no doubt appreciate. The man is nothing if not witty.

Probably'll help Jonathan's sales, though...

Must dash. Off to register my new nom-de-plume, J Jonah Jameson.
