1. Welcome to this forum
2. I loved all your AIRBOY and BATMAN "families" work, and would love a crossover someday.
3. Please, please, please, please, please, please...come back to NIGHTWING.

Everything John Jr. ever said was how great JMS's scripts were.
And how he would love to draw Spider-man forever. and when he left he was supposefd to come back. But he never did so i don't know why
Around the time of Amazing 500:
John said his father loved it and that he’s read all the Spider-Man books JMS has written. According to Romita Jr. his Dad thinks JMS is the best writer that’s ever been on the book. “He’s such a big fan of the writing that he was just tickled pink,” Romita Jr. added.

NRAMA: Arthur - “John Romita Jr. has hinted he's going to return to a Spider-Man book soon. Can you please put him back on Amazing Spider-Man? I think that the JMS/JRJr team was one of the best the title's ever had and it would be great to see them doing Spidey together again.”
JQ: Arthur, he will, but right now Johnny is touring the Marvel Universe in a very big way, so stay tuned!

Somehow JMS has figured out how to master the art of brainwashing!

I have heard of the tracking reference. I've also been
told of a writer asking to have a character blink.
*****
The script for the HAWKMAN fill-in I did a couple of
years back contained copious references to
Hawkman and Hawkgirl frowning and other such
facial expressions.

Were those wonderful stream-of-motion spreads in
Iron Fist (where Rand swings from the fire escape,
bounces off the car roof, etc) laid out in the script?
****
Those happened because Chris, who was as new
to the Biz as I was, would give me plots that
contained instructions like "Iron Fist enters the room,
crosses to the desk, picks up a piece of paper,
reads it, hears a noise outside, vaults across the
desk, out the window, runs down the fire escape --
and then in panel two. . . "

As I've said before, elsewhere, I think Chuck Dixon is,
pound-for-pound, the best, most solid writer in comics. I've
never read a bad story written by Chuck, and his are the most
professional scripts in the biz. The guy can just friggin' write!
How's it going, Chuck?

JB: That's interesting. I've written my fair share of comic scripts, and I often include facial expression in the script (as often, the artist might not be able to tell from the plot/dialogue how the characters should be reacting). Is this not allowed?

It should be allowed... if Batman is sad cause a friend dies in panel 3 and panel 4 says he looks sad. Than the artist should draw it that way

I would like to welcome Chuck Dixon to the board.
I agree with everything that JB and Chuck Dixon said. I should also mention that Christopher Priest also has a problem with the Big 2 hireing writers simply because they worked in Hollywood or because thy are the latest "flavor of the month" comicbook writing superstar. He refers to these creators as the "NAME". Like Priest said, if you go out and ask a little kid who does'nt read comics "Who Spider-Man is?" he could tell you. If you ask that same kid "Who are Bendis,JMS,and Wheedon?", he could'nt tell you (Priest only used Bendis as an example in his original column, I just added the other 2 because this applies to them as well).

Is this not allowed? **** Of course it's allowed. But in asking this question, you may be demonstrating the core problem: most writers who insist on doing full scripts (and therefore, effectively, about a third of the penciler's job) simply do not think in pictures. Especially not static pictures. And, as a part of this, they seem to forget entirely what the characters look like. Think about it. The script I referenced was for HAWKMAN. Hawkman frowning? Isn't that like Doctor Fate smiling? Iron Man wrinkling his nose? The Flash poking a finger in his ear? That same HAWKMAN script, incidentally, asked for a scene in which Our Hero flew between the legs of a man standing in front of him. Normal sized man. Who was not knocked off his feet. Think about that! And when you write a script, think always, always, always about what the characters look like!

With the mask this iteration has had since his return?
Nope. Not like that at all, as his mouth and jaw are visible.
