The 15th Rumour Awards 2015 – Wrong Of The Year

It's a long long time since the very first one of these. I was 28 when I decided that an annual look back at the rumours and scoops of the year would be a good thing. 15 years later, that's still to be determined. But here we go again with a self congratulatory pat on the back. Mostly.

But feel free to catch up with previous years by clicking on all these links.

So what will get the Wrong Of The Year? A story first reported by Bleeding Cool that was totally utterly wrong. It mean, it's possible that it was right when reported and circumstances changed. But not necessarily…

There were, of course, plenty to choose from. The X-Men did not go off planet to escape the Terrigen mists – they went to limbo instead. Naturally I argued that the plan changed after the editor Mike Marts and the planned writer, Rick Remender left Marvel – but then I would, wouldn't I?

We said that Scott Snyder would be one of the writers on Dark Knight III, but it was not to be. Also that Dave Gibbons would be an artist – but he only did a cover.

Gen 13 never happened at DC. Neither did the splitting of Punisher into two books. And still no signs of that Marc Silvestri Batman comic book. We said Skottie Young was the artist on Huck. He was not.

But the big one would be the article saying that Iron Fist had been dropped by Marvel from Netflix. That wasn't true, quite the opposite. I tried to do a reverse-ferret a few weeks later, before Marvel tackled someone else saying similar things, but you can't put the frog back in the box.

Then there was the news that ComiXology were to announce an all-you-can-eat subscription at a major comic convention. Never happened.

There will have been others as well of course. But those were the big ones….
