Look out, Alan Moore's pissed!
Well, the world of the internet and comics seems to be all about the events in the DC mini-series Identity Crisis. Now I haven’t read the issue. Unlike some people who haven’t read the issue, I’m not going to start praising it or slamming it. I’m just going to share a thought that went through my head.
Alan Moore has got to be pissed.
Not at the content of IC per se, but (as Alan David Doane pointed out here) when he put that Marvel Douche ad in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen DC had the issue pulped. When he wanted to do a story about L. Ron Hubbard in Tomorrow Stories that was flat-out rejected (the story ended up in a Top Shelf anthology). Meltzer puts sex and violence into the DC Universe, and the cover for issue #2 is the main piece of promotional art for the San Diego Comic-Con! It’s even appearing on buses in San Diego.
Or maybe Moore’s not even surprised by this point. He’s been in this industry long enough after all.
Oh, and just one more thing related to the Green Lantern/Jack Black thing. In a thread on his message board discussing the film (which probably won't get made) John Byrne reveals that he writes letters to TV Guide when they reference the Adam West Batman show. That’s funny in itself, but even funnier if you’re familiar with the stand-up of Paul F. Tompkins.
Well, let's hope this post works. Blogger's been driving me crazy for two days now.
