Filmmaker Kevin Smith is returning to comics with a 3-issue miniseries for DC Comics. It will feature the villain Onomatopoeia. Not only was I not familiar with the character, I didn’t even know what the word onomatopoeia referred to.
Like I have to do with a lot of DC Comics characters, I had to consult the good people of Wikipedia.
I like Kevin Smith as much as one heterosexual man can like another heterosexual man, but he has a reputation of being kind of late with his comic book writing. Not that he is the only celebrity comic book writer that enjoys that particular reputation. Newsarama reports that DC executive editor Dan DiDio told the audience at the DC panel at the San Diego Comic-Con that all three of Smith’s scripts have already been completed and turned in.

Practically every third word in Japanese is an onomatopoeia. They even have onomatopoeia for things that don’t make sounds. Maybe that’s how manga got so popular here.
Cool character, I just think he needs a shorter name, something less formal. Maybe just “O” or “Snoogins”.
