everybody just keeps repeating their beliefs (Marvel is evil, they'll screw the talent/ Now I'll buy these books/ Icon will be canceled soon just like Epic, etc... ad nauseum)

No offense bro... but did you really read the thread? Most of the opinions expressed here are nothing like that. The negatives are in the distinct minority.


The everybody just keeps repeating their beliefs is the most important part of my post, this board is more Marvel centric and less likely to bash Marvel than others.

Having said that, I should have quoted the more optimistic opinions as well. I forgot. Sorry. :cool:

Okay, well.... what reactions would you liked to have seen?

'Cause sometimes you only get as much out of a discussion as you put in  :D

I like what Warren Ellis had to say even if he consistently spelled MOB backwards.

Maybe it was a subtle dig?

Just kidding. Yeah, I thought Warren Ellis had a classy statement.

Ellis realized his mistake later on:

It's MOB, not BOM.  Serial brainfart.

Carry on.

and finally, this bit on Sunday morning:

Quote
bad signal
WARREN ELLIS


The Image Central deal I described as "get nothing/give
nothing?"  That is PRECISELY the term Jim Valentino
used to describe the deal.  He didn't consider it
perjorative, and neither did I because I signed up with
them after hearing it.  If I could afford to, I'd still be
working with Image Central today.  They are the *only*
major company offering a fully creator-owned contract
to allcomers.  

"Get nothing/give nothing" means they won't pay you an
advance, but they will not take anything from you.

So all you worthless nattering $#!&bags who spent
last night trying to start a fight can choke on my F&#%.

-- W




Personally, I don't like Powers and want to start reading Kabuki from the beginning, so it'll be a long while before I get to the Marvel books. Which collection is the beginning, by the way?

"The Black Panter."  Is that a Vertigo series?

For what it's worth, I'm delighted by this news.

Ellis reaction was okay, since he´s  an insider and came up with an apparently unbiased view of the event.
Micah Wright, for instance, didn´t. He sound bitter. After he read Ellis opinion he reviewed his opinion and his new post about sounded as the best assessment of the situation I´ve seen online.

Basically, all people had to do was "wait and see",but I know this is too much to ask.

So basically you don't want people to give their reactions to the news at all?

No, seriously, this is a good thing--especially for Bendis.  I'd be laughing all the way to the bank.  Who cares what anyone says.

Thanks for the kind regards.
And thanks for those that mentioned Kabuki and that they wanted to try it.

I hope you will check out the KABUKI collections.

The first one is KABUKI: Circle of Blood.

There are six volumes so far.  Circle and KABUKI: Metamorphosis are probably the best ones to start with.  Meta is my fave as I think it represents my best work as a writer and artist in comics.

You can start with the new Kabuki series in July, as it is a brand new story...
But, I hope you will use this oppertunity to read the other collections first as they will give you a deeper understanding of the layers of the story.

Please let me know what you think of them after you read them.

We will do, you can pretty much count on that. :)

I've always liked your art work, very strong stuff, your run on Daredevil has been enjoyable too. Good luck with this new venture.
