I'll never understand how comic writers, especially modern comic writers can write so many series at once.

Does anyone who isn't Bendis five years ago write more than 2-3 series at a time? I'm sure it's hard, but it's not like the 60's where Stan Lee was writing all the dialog and either Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko was drawing everything and coming up with most of the plots.

Lurdiak posted:Before all this he also wandered into Ghost Rider's comic and exposed Johnny Blaze as being Ghost Rider, accidentally framed him for several crimes in the process, kicked his rear end, then when he realized Johnny wasn't a bad guy he just left without even apologizing. Johnny, now wanted by the cops and known to be a demon-thing by his friends and coworkers, had to leave town forever. The thing in this list that makes me feel sorry for Johnny Blaze the most is that he now has to live out the rest of his life knowing that Dr. Druid once kicked his rear end.

There was something Chris Claremont said when he got interviewed on Jay & Miles a couple of years ago that I thought was interesting. I'm paraphrasing, but basically, he got into a space where if he did screw up and write a bad comic, he knew he'd always be able to come back and take another swing in a month. It freed him up to just do the work without agonizing over every little thing, because it's a serial medium and there was always next issue if he needed to fix things. I've been assuming that that's how you can get people who can write six monthly series at once.

He's still on Descender, Bloodshot, and Royal City, plus Black Hammer and its spinoffs, Gideon Falls, the Terrifics, and now the Sentry. I thought maybe he was doing Hawkman going forward too?

Also, I don't think writing comics for the big two pays very well, I think it was Kieron Gillen who said you only need to sell around 10,000 at Image to get the equivalent of what he was being paid to write Uncanny X-Men.

McKeever says he was getting paid $110 back in 2011: https://twitter.com/seankmckeever/status/966001100582195200 And yeah, a successful (10k+) Image book makes good money, but there's not really too many of those. In January, nine Image books sold that much: Walking Dead (84k), Paper Girls (22k), Spawn (two issues at 19k), Kill or be Killed (16k), Monstress (15k), Outcast (12k), Southern Bastards (12k), Days of Hate (10k). 40 total appeared in the top 300.

Yeah, I know there's not a lot comics that achieve that level of success at Image, I was more mentioning it because 10k a month is well below the threshold for what would get canceled at Marvel or DC.

According to the last issue of Hawkeye, there's going to be something involving Kate Bishop starting up in August. I am just assuming it's going to be a new series.

The Orphans of X arc of All-New Wolverine probably stretched the credulous limits of a Laura/HB/OML/Daken/Creed/Lady Deathstrike team-up, and there still wasn't Jimmy Hudson or the Wolverine hopping around with the Space Stone. I'm still probably forgetting some!

Genuinely thought for a second that was an upper decker on the last page of Infinity Countdown rather than an infinity stone. To be fair to me, though, that does seem like something he would do.

And there was a Wolverine made of alien nanites from that Heuston Wolverine Max series (The Best There Is). And the lil' Wolverine from the X-Babies that Mojo created.

Erica Henderson off Squirrel Girl https://twitter.com/EricaFails/status/972287432459800576 Book will still continue, wonder if Ryan North is staying on it, or if it will be a different creative team entirely. Edit: We also need a new thread title or a new thread.

Honestly, I'd wrap the comic just to preserve it's singular creative focus. Around 50 issues and a graphic novel by one team. It's pretty much just them and Scott Snyder/Greg Capullo who've pulled off something like that in the big two any time recently. Save us from the Henderson haters swearing they can now buy the book cause everyone stopped having bucked teeth. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Mar 10, 2018 |

Personally I'm glad someone else will be drawing Squirrel Girl, but I won't deny Henderson had a couple good ideas, like she came up with some really great costumes for Doreen(much better than the costume she had been wearing since GLA brought her out of limbo), and even though she sucked at drawing it properly I do appreciate that she gave Squirrel Girl a body type that is both oddly rare in comics but also fitting for a physically active hero Hopefully whoever replaces her will keep up both trends

I actually didn't say that, I just noted an inconsistency in her art I mean I still think she's a mediocre artist at best and that only a couple artists at Marvel are outright worse than her, also I find it idiotic that people are willing to defend meh art so readily on this site
