Just a quick little thing here because I've gotten bombarded-- or at least what passes for getting bombarded in my little world-- with emails about this:
I got a phone call this morning, letting me know that apparently there's a disgruntled Marvel employee out there that's started a bitter little jagoff blog. I'm not gonna link to it because, well, it'll be out there soon enough, if it's not common knowledge already, and the last thing this guy needs is more attention. I know it exists because-- just like when details of CIVIL WAR got leaked, I got a phone call from Marvel at 9 in the goddamn morning, making sure I was keeping quiet about shit.
(Hey, I kept UNCANNY quiet for like 15 months. I can keep quiet, yo.)
Anyway, I got mentioned on the blog last night, the emails started, and I went to read it. A bit from INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #2 was, uh, leaked, I guess you could say. It's not exactly important, so calling it a leak is a bit of an overstatement, but it leaves no doubt this person's read the outline.
So between the call and the leak: this is a legit thing.
The thing that guys like "Felicia" and this new douchebag don't seem to get is that-- like, this little hobby of yours? It's kind of my job, y'know? This shit costs people work, it costs people their jobs. These books put food on the table and a roof overhead. And what you do actually impedes that.
So: go **** yourself. I'm sorry you don't get to play in the sandbox. (But, boy, reading your little blog, I understand why. Maybe TIGER BEAT is hiring.)
I hope whatever's wrong with Gary Busey goes wrong with you, too. Or at least I hope you cry a little bit when you get fired and have to pack up all your little marvel tschokes into a box and do the walk of shame to the 7 train back to wherever it is you live with your mom.
There's nothing sadder-- and more funny-- than a Diamond box filled with post-it notes, MODOK figures, and shame.
I've already begged McCann or Allo to get pictures of it when it happens. I'll post 'em here. I promise. |
