Hi Joe --

A friend recommended Kevin Smith's movies to me, which I'm plowing through
(along with the 4-hour "An Evening with Kevin Smith" DVD).  I'm struck by the
similar origins of you both (comics, New Jersey) and of course found out you're
both writing Spider-Man projects.

So my question is, how much opportunity have you two had to get to know each
other?  What do you think of his work?  What does he think of yours?  On one of
the DVDs filmed at his comics store the B5 figurines were arrayed on the shelf
in the background, which would suggest some passing knowledge of your work.

Thanks in advance,
Stephen

P.S. Jay and Silent Bob = Londo and G'Kar?!  Nahhh ... Although just once I'd
love to hear Peter Jurasik channel Londo and say, "Snoochie Boochies". :-)

I've only spoken to Kevin once, at a con, where he was signing.  I came up and
introduced myself.  He blinked at me for a second, then said, "Huh.  You're
taller than I thought you'd be."  And that was about it.
