Donny Cates going bonkers

I just like the title of this thread. It makes me laugh every time it pops back up when someone makes a new post.

Kids Love Chains is what KLC Press stands for. That is the comic book company that he and Stegman formed, and their title was/is Vanish. I’m guessing he is going back to work on his creator owned stuff, and that may also be why Stegman isn’t on every issue of X-Men.

I just honestly hope he’s doing better.
Last time I saw him…it was clearly after all the stuff that happened & he was having a hell of a time and really didn’t seem like he should have even been signing.

So with the humanity stuff set aside…I did initially really, really love that Venom run. Other than that, I’m on the fence.

I agree with the comment above that he will be either on cosmic ghost rider OR ghost rider.

Would like to see him and Stegman on ASM. He couldn’t possibly make it worse than it’s been the last 10 years…

I haven’t bought it (aside from a cover here or there) since the red goblin. That was over 150 issues ago…

I do actually feel bad for Donnie. I had a chance to interview him years ago and it was a great interview. He let me in on stuff that he shouldn’t have. When the interview was over, Skybound called me back and told me I couldn’t run it…

He really just seemed like a comic book fan boy made good. But then again he let some of it go to his head, but I would too

I will have to ask Donny Crazy whazzup if I go to this show.

Actually hoping Peter Laird makes a surprise appearance like last year…which I missed. Sometimes Eastman shows up too, both not being too far from Concord, NH.

so right after he gets insurance payout from car crash he says gave him amnesia he is all of a sudden ready to write again. it’s a miracle

Like Starlin who had a sodastream machine explode.
Messed up his arm real bad and he couldn’t draw
Then his insurance payout came quite some time later, and miraculously he could draw again

Let’s hope when something bad happens to those doubting others lives where we have very little to zero information provided about when they’re down due to accident, illness, etc that people don’t shit on you or your situation. That’s just bad karma if you ask me… especially since we only hear the gossip and rumors likely surrounding the situation.

I’m with Poyo, none of us know what Cates had to go through after his accident and why he feels ready to work again. I would hope if I get injured ya’ll don’t crack jokes at my expense.

That said, what is this about a Sodasteam machine and Starlin? I never heard about that.

About 7 years ago, a home Sodastream exploded and injured his drawing arm (among other things) and it was quite ugly.

Jeez, no fun!

He didn’t remember like anything he wrote. That’s gotta to be difficult to relearn everything over a small period of time, not to mention everything else
