Talk:Isaac Mendez

• I decreased the size of the main picture so the words weren't so cramped on the left side - kcnovA23 (8:53 PM ET 10/23)
• Since there is an Isaac Mendez page with a section describing paintings, and another page for Isaac's paintings with no text... should all the painting information be moved to the second page, to draw a distinction between the person and the paintings? --Orne 14:38, 7 November 2006 (EST)
  • Good idea. I moved the text into the gallery. Separate text and images seemed kind of redundant.--Hardvice (talk) 15:47, 7 November 2006 (EST)
• There is extensive information about the comic artist Tim Sale on the full Wikipedia here. Should Tim Sale get his own page here on Heroeswiki, or we provide a link to Wikipedia ? --Orne 14:44, 7 November 2006 (EST)
  • He should definitely have his own page. We have Category: Series Crew for behind-the-scenes people.--Hardvice (talk) 15:47, 7 November 2006 (EST)

AWI Agent

Isaac now seems to be working for Mr. Bennet in some fashion. In my original update, I described him as an agent of the AWI. I meant that in a rather generic sense, but I guess that the term implies something more official (in the way James Bond is an agent of MI6). --Ted C 15:53, 8 February 2007 (EST)

• I'm not quite sure he's an agent, or even that there's any AWI affiliation. He's definitely working with Bennet, but that doesn't mean he works for or with the AWI. It's probable, but I feel we should wait until we have a bit more confirmation on that. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:54, 8 February 2007 (EST)
  • I'm not tied to the word "agent"; I just want to note that an significant association exists. --Ted C 15:58, 8 February 2007 (EST)
    • It's not the term agent with which I take issue, it's the connection at all. I think right now we should leave it as a note on his page, and wait until we see if anything more comes of it. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:59, 8 February 2007 (EST)
      • I think working directly with Bennet is a connection to the AWI (unless he starts peddling paper products :). --Ted C 16:06, 8 February 2007 (EST)
        • I tend to agree. He has as much of a connection to the AWI as some of the others on the template (the Pharmatech stuff, for example -- there's no evidence the AWI didn't just buy an existing item from them. In fact, it kind of implies as much, since the needle was originally used for tracking animals.) Since he's a small-a agent of Mr. Bennet in Mr. Bennet's official capacity with the AWI, I'd even be willing to say he's a small-a agent of the AWI. He's doing work on their behalf (through Bennet) that benefits them. To my mind (which admittedly has been over-conditioned by my employment law class), "agent" just means he's doing their work, not that he's an official employee.--Hardvice (talk) 16:17, 8 February 2007 (EST)
          • Well, I tend to agree that he's working with Mr. Bennet, and I see your point about the AWI being more all-encompassing. I guess you're right, and I need to change my definition of what it means to work for the AWI. I still think it's a bit premature, but I'll give. :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:02, 8 February 2007 (EST)

Really?

He is first seen in the future that Hiro travels to in "Don't Look Back", dead after being attacked by Sylar. 
He is also seen in Peter's vision, holding Simone back from Peter. Which one is the true future remains unclear.

Does it? I was under the impression that what's holding Simone back these days is a lack of brain activity, but maybe that's just me. I mean, sure, it could be Candace or something, but this whole section reads like a theory in disguise.--Hardvice (talk) 13:31, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

• Great point. There's just too much we don't know about Peter's visions to know whether or not they're prophetic. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:29, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

Bio

Tim Sale's bio on MoCBA does not seem the same to me as Isaac's bio. Compare:

Isaac's Bio

Urged on by his instructor, Dominick Cabalo, Isaac honed his art skills and took various summer classes to help develop his craft. It wasn't until high school when he began winning illustration contests. With even more classes in illustration and comic design courses under his belt, Isaac moved to New York and soon after high school took various courses in college for comic book illustration. It wasn't until the annual New York comic convention that he caught the eye of Camacho Comics and they hired him on the spot. He worked there for 3 years, all the while learning the ins and outs of the business. Then in 2002 he self-published his own line of comics under his old uncle Burk's name - one of the few people in his life who supported his love of comic books.

Tim's Bio

Tim Sale was born in Ithaca, New York, on May 1st, 1956, but grew up in Seattle, Washington.

After studying art at the University of Washington for two years, he moved to New York City and attended the John Buscema Workshop and The School of Visual Arts just long enough to realize he didn't want to be in school anymore, whereupon he returned to Seattle and worked a variety of odd jobs from Taco Time to grocery store clerk.

While keeping his hand lazily in the art world by partnering with his sister, Maggie, in GREY ARCHER PRESS, he didn't return to comics until inking Phil Foglio on Warp Graphics MYTH ADVENTURES in 1983. Tim was hired to pencil, ink and letter THIEVES' WORLD for Donning/Starblaze in 1985, then, after hooking up with agent Mike Friedrich and STAR-REACH, began his mainstream comics career by meeting Matt Wagner, Diana Schutz, and Barbara Randall at the San Diego Comic-Con.

Ms. Randall introduced Tim to Jeph Loeb, and the rest has been downhill ever since.

Tim currently lives with his two dogs, Hotspur and Shelby, in southern California.
