This week on Fandom Planet, Powers and Carr are joined by legendary X-Men scribe Scott Lobdell who dropped by the planet just to hang out. Join the boys as they discuss why new comics are so damn expensive, what Batman does in his free time, if The Flintstones owned a raptor, and who would win a fight with Popeye the Sailor Man. The boys are also joined by Scott's friend Jonathan who believes that there is now a class of "geek poseurs" existing among us. This is the first, the premiere episode of Fandom Planet. Forward it to all your friends!
Scott Lobdell (born 1963) is an American comic book writer.
Career
He is mostly known for his work throughout the 1990s on Marvel Comics' X-Men-related titles specifically Uncanny X-Men, the main title itself, and the spin-off series that he conceived with artist Chris Bachalo, Generation X. Generation X focused on a number of young mutant students who attempted to become superheroes in their own right at a separate school with the guidance of veteran X-related characters Banshee and Emma Frost.
Lobdell also had writing stints on Marvel's Fantastic Four, Alpha Flight, and The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix mini-series with artist Gene Ha. He wrote the script to Stan Lee's Mosaic and an upcoming film from POW Entertainment featuring Ringo Starr. He also participated in the Marvel Comics and Image Comics (from Jim Lee's WildStorm) crossover mini-series WildC.A.T.s/X-Men.
As of August 2008, Lobdell is the regular writer for Galaxy Quest, a series published by IDW Publishing, with art by Ilias Kyriazis, centred on the eve of the re-launch of the Galaxy Quest series, now titled Galaxy Quest: The Journey Continues.
To date, he has written the majority of the The Hardy Boys Graphic Novel series by Papercutz.
