Ending of One More Day?

[PhotoJones]

I don't think it makes it any more irrelevant then it already is.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Anything's better then the main series. Way sucks. Aaron's coming aboard soon, though.

To GR?

 

[PhotoJones]

Yeah. Jason Aaron, writer of Scalped and The Other Side.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

If he delves into what happened to Dan Ketch and why Johnny Blaze is GR again, I'd read it.

 

[PhotoJones]

I don't think he will. That doesn't seem like an avenue that Marvel wants to go down, unfortunately.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I figured. But it would really be nice to know what happened to Dan.

 

[PhotoJones]

That it would. Who knows, though? If Brubaker can devote an issue to Jack Munroe, who says Aaron can't do the same for Ketch?

 

[Mephisto]

10 bucks that Aunt May dies from something like a random car accident right after she gets out of the hospital.

That's how I roll...

 

[Mephisto]

Uh...

That's especially odd given that Marvel made it abundantly clear that Mephisto was not Satan for like 30 years. Unless they count GR's Lucifer as different from Satan. Or maybe they're all aspects of the same dude who uses different faces to **** with different people.

Ugh, Marvel needs to organize its Hells.

Those punks at Marvel are scared of me.

They want to continue with the thesis of Tech trumping all... it keeps their minds off of their impending fates. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That it would. Who knows, though? If Brubaker can devote an issue to Jack Munroe, who says Aaron can't do the same for Ketch?

Marvel, if they're trying to keep the series totally about Blaze.

 

[PhotoJones]

Seriously though, a little Dan Ketch action never hurt anyone. C'mon Marvel. You know you want it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

They did release that final issue to Ketch's series after the Blaze GR material had already started coming out. Maybe there's some hope.

 

[PhotoJones]

I suppose it's possible. Not likely, though.

JMS's comments on One More Day. Pretty frucking surprising.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear....

For whatever it's worth, the situation is not as clear cut as one
might hope. The reality of any writer workingfor any company, DC or
Marvel or Image, is that when you're handed a franchise character,
you're basically entrusted with something that the company owns, and
the company has final say in what happens to that character, because
as a writer, you're only there for a certain amount of time and then
the next guy has to come in. Spider-Man belongs to Marvel, not to me,
and at the end of the day, however much I may disagree with things,
and however much I may make it very CLEAR to all parties that I
disagree, I have to honor their position.

In the Gwen storyline, yes, I wanted it to be Peter's kids, Joe over-
rode that, which is his right as EIC. I got the flack for that
decision, but them's the breaks.

In the current storyline, there's a lot that I don't agree with, and I
made this very clear to everybody within shouting distance at Marvel,
especially Joe. I'll be honest: there was a point where I made the
decision, and told Joe, that I was going to take my name off the last
two issues of the OMD arc. Eventually Joe talked me out of that
decision because at the end of the day, I don't want to sabotage Joe
or Marvel, and I have a lot of respect for both of those. As an
executive producer as well as a writer, I've sometimes had to insist
that my writers make changes that they did not want to make, often
loudly so. They were sure I was wrong. Mostly I was right.
Sometimes I was wrong. But whoever sits in the editor's chair, or the
executive producer's chair, wears the pointy hat of authority, and as
Dave Sim once noted, you can't argue with a pointy hat.

So at the end of the day, all one can do is try to do the best one can
with the notes one is given, and try to execute them in a professional
way...because who knows, the other guy may be right. The only thing I
*can* tell you, with absolute certainty, is that what Joe does with
Spidey and all the rest of the Marvel characters, he does out of a
genuine love of the character. He's not looking to sabotage anything,
he's not looking to piss off the fans, he genuinely believes in the
rightness of his views not out of a sense of "I'm the boss" but
because he loves these characters and the Marvel universe.

And right or wrong, you have to respect that.

More proof that Joe Q is an ass.

 

[PhotoJones]

That's all well and good, but the story doesn't write itself. Someone's behind it, be it JMS or Quesada. I don't care who's name is on the cover, it still sucks.

JMS's comments on One More Day. Pretty frucking surprising.

wow... JMS was really diplomatic there... and more proof JQ is a self serving ego-maniacal piece of shyte... i currently boycott marvel because of many of the editorial decisions hes made... its times like this im glad i dont read marvel... its sad really, i miss spidey and x-men and cap, but i refuse to support that jack-ass

 

[sethcohen]

oops... double post

 

[PhotoJones]

I fail to see how Quesada comes off as being egomaniacal. Stupid, yes. But not egomaniacal. It's his job to make decisions like this. You can disagree with those decisions all you want (I know I do), but don't come down on a man who's just doing his ****ing job.

Quesada's done a good job over at Marvel. Bringing in top notch writers such as Brubaker in. Having incredibly awesome books such as Captain America, Daredevil, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Cable & Deadpool, Astonishing X-Men, Thor, Avengers: The Initiative, etc.

Really, the only complaint I have towards him is that he's messing up Spider-Man's character and he really doesn't know how to run the Avengers franchise (it shouldn't be a franchise, it should be a one book thing) and X-Men franchise.

 

[sethcohen]

self serving people usually are... just because he has a personal vendetta against the marriage doesnt mean everyone in the world hates it. i saw no problem with it and apparently neither did JMS who has done (from what i understand) some of the best spidey in years. the complaints people had were editorial mandates from JQ. he may be doing his job, but not as well as hes given credit for... in my opinion people would still be flocking to marvel with or without a lot of his ideas, both good and bad. its people like me that cant stand the fact that he makes a decision based on a personal opinion rather than looking at it objectively and deciding if its right for the character(s) that stay away

I'm in the same boat as well. I would love to pick up all the Iron Man stuff I've been missing, but not at the cost of providing JQ an added source of revenue. As soon as he steps down my subscription list will likely double.

 

[PhotoJones]

I tend to support good writers and good artists more then the editorial staff behind the books.

ive heard really great things about Cap & DD... Brubaker is top notch but i cant stand that Bendis writes half of marvel... i dont care much for Bendis... ive heard a lot of good things about many books but i just cant get past what hes done to spidey and x-men, so until hes gone, i wont be making mine marvel.

on another note, is it just my computer or is the hype effed up today?

 

[sethcohen]

grrrr stupid hype
