A New Point One From Marvel, And Some Other Points Worth Making
Marvel's Tom Brevoort's new Formspring spinoff Tumblr has been giving some interesting answers to some interesting questions…
Any chance we'll be getting Point One #3 later this year, maybe after Infinity?
I'd say that's pretty likely.
It is now that you've confirmed it, Tom.
You guys aren't going to make a habit out of spoiling your own stories' endings far in advance to protect them from "THE LEAKS!", are you?
We live in the world we live in, and we need to run out business dealing with that world. If The Leaks went away, then there wouldn't be any need to do stuff like this. But that won't stop a one of you from visiting the comics rumor sites today. So we get the world that we chose to create, as a group.
Of course, the Angela piece that the questioner was referring to was something that Marvel asked that Bleeding Cool not run, and not only did we not, but we persuaded others not to as well. And then Marvel ran it in the New York Times anyway. So I'm not convinced. ANd neither is Rob Liefeld of the following;
Why was Kirkman and Liefeld's Killraven mini-series never published? I heard it had been completed. Also, Killraven got stuck on present 616 marvel in Bendis' Avengers and hasn't been seen since, where is he? Were there unresolved plans for him?
The Liefeld/Kirkman KILLRAVEN project was never published because we don't actually have any of the pages. While Rob did send over small jpegs of his pencils as they were completed, and we saw inks and colors on some of that stuff, none of the full-size files were ever uploaded to us. If we had it, we'd probably go ahead and finish it at some point.
Rob Liefeld doesn't see it that way. He tweeted;
However, for any who are tempted to see this exercise by Tom as rose coloured corporate PR puffery, there's this.
As a roma myself I'm deeply saddened and offended that a book under your umbrella (Uncanny Avengers #9) is relying the message that roma is a religion. Comics reach many people and it's a disservice to spread such reckless and uninformed information. Roma people have their fair share of people spreading uninformed information about them. We don't need comics to do that as well. Thanks for your attention.
Yeah, we fouled that up pretty good. As you might expect, that whole series of exchanges was written and rewritten more than just about any other part of the book—and at some point, the notion of Romani as a heritage got conflated with the notion of Judaism as a heritage (there was a draft in which Rogue asks Wanda about her Judaism, which seemed wrong to me—Wanda wasn't raised in that faith regardless of the background of her parents, so it seemed like the wrong place to be groping for an analogy.) And once it got conflated, we all missed it in the hustle to get the book to press—me, Daniel, the proofreading team, Rick, all of us. So yeah, I'm sorry about that. Mea culpa.
Not something you see a lot of these days…
