It would be nice if they actually paid the creators whose work they are reprinting. A year after their Warrior’s Three collection which featured a cover and over 100 pages of my work I received one (!!) comp copy and no word of any sort of reprint or royalty fee. Of course it might not have sold very well. Now I see that they are cobbling together 3 or 4 Spider-Man GNs into one enormous, hideously produced, hardcover. My long ago GN ‘Spirits of the Earth’ which I wrote/drew/painted is one of them. We’ll see what they do about that one. In contrast, DC provides 25 comp copies and a royalty check sent ever 4 months. Hmmm… now who would you work for?

You were working until now Iron Man 2.0, which was cancelled and a lot of readers didn’t expect to be ended…

Luckily it finished.

Don’t you like the story?

The scripts were awful at the end, at first it worked well with the other story that Marvel was publishing

Fear Itself.

Yeah, that story. But later it went to hell. Then invented an archivillian that made no sense. The scripts were backwards, the writer married in the middle, leaving everybody stuck, they put an replacement writer who was worse. The editor kicked the replacement writer off and he wrote the scripts. A disaster that thankfully ended.

In the penultimate issue I could draw ten pages and nothing more, because the script never came. So I had a week to deliver the rest and the script was not finished yet. And in the final issue I draw five pages nothing more. I got the script and they said, “How many pages you can do for next Friday?”. And we had five days, five pages. Because I color directly, How would you do it? It’s impossible. So they called in other guys and you will see for yourself. The last issues of Iron Man 2.0 are a disaster. There is one woman who is blonde, then in the other frame is a brunette. It is impossible that in a week all the artists could agree and say “Man, the blouse you have to draw is red, and the girl who was drinking tea, I did drinking beer. ”

How strange to hear this from a publisher as big as Marvel and old …

McDonalds is also great and the burgers are disgusting. At one time Marvel worked like a little clock, but it melted down 2 or 3 years ago and in the middle of this (Iron Man) they fired about 15 staff. So it was a mess.

And this series is not the only one that closed.

No, they cancelled a number.

For 2012 What are your plans?

To be honest, I have nothing. I have an exclusive contract for 2 more years at Marvel and the last number I finished Iron Man 2.0 two weeks ago and I am not insisting much but they didn’t give me more work either. So, within two weeks, if they not give me work I will exercise my right to contract and tell them “I need money, and you have to pay me even if I don’t work” So I do not know, they do not know yet, they’re looking for work for me but they don’t know what to give me.

Citazione:

I think everyone has noticed that Marvel has started publishing a number of their books more than once a month. They’ve been ramping up on this for a while, and it’s something I’ve kind of shook my head at, because it’s a desperate ploy to gain marketshare that doesn’t promote sustainability on any level. It’s a cash grab, pure and simple, and when you couple that with the fact so many of their books are creeping up on $3.99, I shudder to think of the long-term effects.

And I can hear you shaking your own head now. Okay, maybe I can’t hear you doing that, but I can imagine the chuckling: “Desperate? Marvel is the number one publisher in comics!” – but I’ll stand by my words. When DC launched their new 52 last September, Marvel didn’t fight back with awesome. They fought back with the only real tool in their shed: more. They’re not increasing the frequency of their books out of generosity, they’re doing it to dominate the market. And in the absence of anything even resembling new, all we get is more.
