[edit] Sam Loeb

i dont know about adding more stuff about jeph's son, but if you guys think that nobody'll mind, i'm sure i could add (or ask people to add) more about sam, because we were in the same program at the same high school and all. Applegoddess 03:45, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sounds like a nice idea. I wrote the stuff that was already there, but feel free to delete it, as someone who had more interaction with Sam is better qualified than I am to speak of hiss tragic death.

You might want to do it on Sam's page, assuming it sticks around. Darquis 02:01, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lost Credits

---

While watching Lost (TV series), I've noticed Jeph's name in the credits for the last few weeks, but I haven't been able to catch what he's doing on the show, exactly. I'd assume this information would be useful in Wiki; next time I catch it, I'll update, if someone hasn't beaten me to it. --Ridingthebomb 20:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I interpret the phrase "Jeph Loeb was a writer and supervising producer for Smallville and Lost" as meaning that he was a writer and producer for both shows. While this is certainly true for Smallville, I haven't been able to find any confirmation that he has actually wriiten anything for LOST... (I know he has helped produce the show, but I haven't seen his name in any writing credits.) Anyone have any insight for me? Should this phrase be revised to say: "Jeph Loeb was a writer and supervising producer for Smallville and was a producer for many episodes of Lost." Rossr 09:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ultimates vol 3

"As of September 1, 2005, Loeb began an exclusive contract with Marvel. His first series was Volume 3 of The Ultimates, with Joe Madureira on art."

Has volume three come out yet? (october 2006) In either case, it makes it sound like that series was published near to the quoted date, which is incorrect.

I deleted that because it was grossly inaccurate. His Ultimates work has not been published yet making the statement invalid. I probably should have changed it to "Will be doing . . . etc" but I didn't. My bad. Rayner23 02:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wizard awards

The infobox under his picture says 5 Wizard awards, but the text indicates 4 nominations with no wins. The wizard awards page isn't very informative since it doesn't seem to know who won about half the time. Anyone have a clue what's what? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsteger (talk • contribs) 01:38, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] upgrading from Unreferenced to Refimprove

This article has several citations, so I'm upgrading it from Unreferenced to Refimprove. --Sloop Jon (talk) 06:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Empath Magic Tree House Writers

The Word Balloon podcasts by Jon Siuntres posted 16-18th January 2008 and entitled "The Loeb Report" feature repeated confirmation from the author shares his writing studio with Johns and Heinberg.

[edit] Marvel Exclusivity

How was Loeb able to write an arc of Dark Horse's Buffy if he signed an exclusive deal with Marvel in September 2005. Did the contract end? If so, when? Did they allow a special case? If so, why? I am terrible at trying to find stuff out about the legalities of comic book writers and their projected runs on books etc. Tony2Times (talk) 17:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps he had that series grandfathered into the contract when he signed it. Peter David made the same arrangement when he went exclusive with Marvel so that he could write the Spike comic that he did, and so that he could continue writing his creator-owned series, Fallen Angel.
