They say I am a work in progress. The fools.
For 10 years, I was just doing the most ridiculous stuff. I did a magazine ad for Toyota. You know those toddler toys where it has a big arrow and you point to a cow and pull the string? They came up with different people who would want to buy the new Toyota minivan for things like shopping, groceries, camping. It was the same thing, "pull the string to find out why you should buy the new Toyota family van." For just stupid money. Man, I wish those days would come back."

Gamasutra – News – Marvel Games VP Jefferson: 'We Want To Be The Strongest IP In Gaming'
Yes, it is. This is the core gamers' MMO. This has a lot of eyes on it. Like I said before, Joe Quesada is working on this. Axel Alonso is working on it. [SVP of publishing] Tom Brevoort is working on it. [Publisher and COO] Dan Buckley is involved in it. Brian Bendis obviously is involved in it. We're trying to give Gazillion all of our tools and resources to make a great game, but that's something that we do for all of our projects. For Thor, we got [writer] Matt Fraction to the table. For Captain America, for Sega, we got Chris Gage as a writer. Like I said before, we're trying to do more as a license holder than we've ever done before.

The Atari Games That Became Comic Book Heroes – Kotaku
In the early 1980's, Warner Communications owned both Atari and comics powerhouse DC Comics. With both mediums a hit with the kids, it was decided that some cross-promotion was in order, and along with Atari games based on DC properties like Superman, it was decided to create a line of comics based on Atari titles.
Looking through the images they've posted is like looking back in time at Comico's publishing history, with artwork from Grendel, Rocketeer, Elementals, Evangeline, Robotech and many more. Giovinco posted his correspondence with Collector Haven owner Rick Funk, where he asked Funk to return the artwork to its creators. "Regardless of how Coyote came into possession of the material, the right thing would be for at least the original art to be returned to the creators. I know I would like mine returned," Giovinco said in his letter.
