CLiNT Strip Finds A New Home
Bleeding Cool has reported on issues that CLiNT Magazine has had over its Space Oddities strip, intended to be a home for brand new talent, who applied through the Millarworld message boards. And the first fun seemed to go rather well, Mark picks his favourites and they ran in early issues of the magazine.
But then they hit a speedbump. Mark chose a stack more… but no Space Oddities appeared in the magazine. Leaving those new creators who were told that their strips would be bought back in October 2010 in limbo.

To whomever may have a clue about this,
One of my stories was part of the last batch of Space Oddities picked by Mark more than a year ago, but I haven't had any concrete news from the publishers yet. Now there's another publisher interested in the story, and I'm not sure what to do. I'd really stick to Clint if I could, but after so much radio silence, I'm starting to doubt about the fate of the whole Space Oddities thing. Perhaps there's sombody involved in Titan who can give me (and I imagine the other creators) a clue about this?
Thanks!!!
Titan did not respond to email inquiries, and Mark did not respond to the thread as of yet. But others on the board have recommended Blas jump ships and take the money…
