Saw this on Resetera. Salvador Larroca bashing the colourist for upcoming Uncanny X-Men art that was shown in a preview, making a point to say that the person was a woman.

quote:

Translation: "Since my editor already showed [these pages] with a horrible coloring, I prefer showing them in black & white, which I prefer infinitely more. It's curious, a publisher like Marvel and how bad are many of the colorists... A woman, in this case."

edit: Apparently the colourist is the author's partner too. Later, dude.

Larocca's on from #11 where it goes from weekly to monthly. This is while Rossenberg's been praising both of them on Twitter. Pretty sad.

It's (probably primarily) Vault Comics, which issued a mea culpa statement today. Lieber originally tweeted out the red sharpie story in February 2018, but it resurfaced yesterday when Alex de Campi made a post kind of like Shalvey's about late/no payment and how creators talk.

https://twitter.com/alexdecampi/status/1087429703991025674

And then Adam Hughes brought up the old Tim Truman interview that Steve Lieber cited, which led Steve to link to that whole thread. So yeah, it's in the air right now.

I'm guessing it's not Aftershock or TKO, just because they're both *really* new, and pretty much everyone making these vague statements are talking about how these companies are screwing young/up-and-coming creators who don't have anywhere else to go, which doesn't really describe the people putting out books at those two companies.

If you expose them you can't use threat of exposure as leverage to get paid. Possibly they're worried about it affecting their ability to get work at other companies, "don't hire them, the instant something doesn't go their way they'll bad mouth you to anyone who'll listen.,

I've heard that boom pays absolute dogshit for their licensed books but not that they stiff people

They have to pay at least something, I can't imagine why Spurrier does all of his weird eight issue "I thought of this working on 2000ad but it would never work in that format" books there otherwise

Lol, good thing they have an open and fair submissions process... oh, wait, submissions have been closed for years. gently caress's sake, The big 2 have worked really hard to cultivate an atmosphere "no one will ever be good enough for us, so don't bother trying, we bet you suck". Their whole attitude towards creators has always been "it's you who'd be lucky to work for us" and NEVER the other way around, so I don't get Akira acting shocked that his talent is thinning? Like, yeah you have gently caress all inkers, that's what you wanted. I'll be hosed if I'm going to spend years of my life honing an outdated, non-transferable skill only to find the doors closed to me anyhow cos I'm not good enough mates with your old boys.

Also frankly it's easier than ever to get independent comics off the ground, so comic making options are now infinitely broader and more appealing than begging marvel to let you ink one of their fifteen spider man reboots.

There are definitely ins for working at Marvel.
Like being a wrestler, rapper, comedian or indie horror director.

Edit: Not to say that bringing people in from outside of comics won't net good results. Better than clinging on to tired 80's dinosaurs.

Marvel has started looking a lot to prose writers lately and has some really great finds there. For instance Saladin Ahmed, Eve Ewing, and Rainbow Rowell are all killing it on their books right now.

With the move to digital do more artists ink their own stuff now?

Completely anecdotal, but the three closest issues of Marvel comics I had at hand were Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man 1, captain Marvel 1 and Conan 1, and none of them have an inker in the credits I could see, just Artist and Color Artist. Does the color artist do the inking now?

from what little i see artists and colorists actually talking process im guessing yeah more artists are doing inking by themselves cuz artists are sharing work that looks already inked and putting up process vids where they are inking, and when colorists are talking about work its on already inked work and the extra steps they need help with are flatting

obviously not everyone is gonna be moving that way, but it seems like the "younger" artists are

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

What the gently caress is this strategy? The way Star Wars works is if you buy a bunch of the toys they are going to make a thousand comics about the character. So I guess we should all look forward to Rose's solo series which, could work because a radical anti-capitalist would actually be kind of interesting for Star Wars.
