Really! That's cool! I didn't know that DC could do new stories of the Spirit! Wow!

I am really jazzed about Cooke doing the Spirit. I've never read the Eisner stuff before either but with the Cooke series coming they're releasing a "Best of" The Spirit TPB.
Did any of you guys get Cooke's Solo issue? I thought it was the best comic I bought this year.

I have that Solo issue, and I agree it's great.
Cooke picked up the Best Limited Series Eisner for his New Frontier, and it was totally deserved. He and Jeph Loeb will be doing a Batman/Spirit mini to kick things off before the new Spirit book emerges. For me, this was the biggest surprise to come out of the DC panel at San Diego.

I picked up Cooke's "Solo" issue because I'm a big fan of the Question. It was a great read though more for the other stories - I wasn't so hot on his interpretation of the character.
Cooke also did part of the "Green Lantern: Secret Files" which was great. He even does a segment in a pseudo-Gil Kane style which was superb.

Cooke has been one of my faves since he worked on Catwoman. His Selina was sexy in a very realistic way (no eggplants here, just a very proportionate and realistically depicted bosom). I love his somewhat cartoonish, yet wonderfully expressive style. DC New Frontier was like a sloppy wet kiss to DC's Silver Age. Not only was his art style perfect for that period, but his writing really captured the characters. His Solo book was the best of the series so far (though Chaykin's is a close second). At this point, Cooke is on my "I'll buy anything he does" list, a distinction he currently shares with Grant Morrison and no one else.
So, would I like to see his take on the SA LSH? Hell yeah! But then, he could do a book starring Ultraa the Multi-alien and I'd buy it!

Cooke as the writer or the artist? As the writer, sure I'd give it a try. Artist? Sorry, that would get a pass from me. I really don't get all the love for New Frontier. Picked up book #1 and didn't bother with the rest. Another title where the art was too distracting to get into the story. Just not my thing.
