>>78374715
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
>>78374715
>it's a 'they're winning but they keep acting childish' Marvel employee
I don't like him but that's a pretty sick burn.
Somebody is jealous.
>>78374932
If their complainers don't act mature ever, why should they bother?
The worst thing is that DC can´t do anything to stop them. When did it everything go so wrong DCbros?
>>78374956
>They aren't supposed to put out 70 variants, that's OUR thing!
>>78374996
Stop them from doing what? DKIII outsold everything they have including Star Wars last month.
>>78374956
>>78375033
>That article that said Vader Down had 450,000 orders
>DKIII got that many instead
>Actual adults act like this
The autism is real.
>>78375034
But the marketshare is so low for DC, and Marvel is winning.
>>78375034
And nothing else.
Marvel is still a monster devouring the whole Market.
>>78374715
no one has blow this shit out of proportion yet, to be fair, this looks like another case of banter
I read it, and he is not wrong. That is a piece of shit.
>>78375131
One sided banter. DC staff and writers never do this.
Is Miller still asking them 1 mil to go back and do another Daredevil story?
>>78375131
>banter
Is banter this one-sided? When's the last time anybody at DC took a crack at Marvel like that
>>78375121
>>78375126
Their market share is pretty much the same though, and marvel is only on the top 10 because they are still realising number #1, just wait until the wave is over
>>78375121
The marketshare has been what it is for nearly 20 years, no one cares. DC makes all their comic money in trades and they have for a long time.
>>78375164
Isn't Marvel double the size of DC rigth now?
>>78375153
>>78375155
Then maybe DC should start
>>78375153
>>78375155
And ? you ask as if the company needs to respond to everything the other does, and if anything, This make DC looks like a guy that could give less fucks
>>78375206
So we can start playing 'both sides are bad'? Professionalism used to stand for something, so I'm glad DC still tries.
>>78375216
Anyway it's better DC and its employees don't say shit like that. You know people will start slamming DC for it even if Marvel did it first and often.
>>78375206
Start acting like their fanbase - pathetic manchildren?
>>78375251
My point exactly
>>78375244
This is actually another good point, sure this shit may attract some "fans" but it makes you look like an asshole on the long run
>>78375299
Might as well when everybody else is.
>>78375299
You mean both Fanbases ? Marvel and DC fans are fucking equal, the new fans barely read comics, they just buy then to put on a shelf or to take pictures
I don't read cape comics is the joke here that he's a marvel writer and that he responded to someone asking for a shitty comic to buy with a picture from a dc comic?
>>78375382
And people blow it out of proportion to kingdom come, yeah
>>78375424
No one is blowing it out of proportion. The OP only posted it so he could start a company wars thread.
>>78374715
He's not exactly wrong, so far DK3 isn't off to the best start.
>>78375424
Maybe I'm ignorant to how people are supposed to act in the comics industry but when I was a kid this was the kind of stuff Nintendo magazines would do to poke fun at Sega games and Sega would run ads in newspapers doing the same thing. Is this not par for the course for marvel and dc?
>>78375461
its better than what Miller has put out ever since 2000 though, which say something when people mostly liked this book
>>78375476
Marvel does it. DC doesn't.
>>78375476
Its manly because DC never did anything of the whole bitch fight thing, they never cared
Why does Marvel always try to bully DC?
>>78375476
Poking fun and (indirectly) calling something shit are rather different actions. Considering Brevoort is Executive Editor and Senior Vice President of Publishing of Marvel Comics, you might expect better from him. Instead he shits on DC and other companies a lot.
>>78375461
It sold more than Star Wars and has recieved glowing reviews in every najor outlet. I know /co/ loves it's "Well, I don't like it so it must be garbage and not selling well." mentality, but this is straight wrong in the real world.
>>78375563
Inferiority complex. Brevoort also seems like your typical neckbeard fedoralord, he was probably bullied a lot growing up.
>>78375564
>and other companies a lot.
Huh, i don't remember him saying shit about Image
>>78375563
Quesada hates them because they cancelled his Azrael ongoing
>>78375563
A lot of their higher ups and big writers are basically frat boys.
>>78375599
Pretty sure Quesada is cool with then already
>>78375591
>neckbeard fedoralord
I don't know where you got that impression.
>>78375625
How can one man look so stereotypical
What is this
I don't understand, not even a little
>>78375603
>are basically frat boys
why are they all so fat and out of shape then
somebody post that side by side of the DC guys and the Marvel guys, the DC dudes all look like they work out and the Marvel side looks like they eat their weight in doughnuts every day
>>78375603
Marvel's? They seem more like your average /co/ poster brushing his Cheetoh crumbs off the keyboard before a shitposting session. DC's higher ups all seem like cool guys.
>>78375655
>DC's higher ups all seem like cool guys
Geoff Johns seems like the most chill man alive
>>78375592
I may be confused, sorry.
>>78375684
And Scott Snyder has gained a rep as one of the nicest comic guys out there, and we all know of Slott's shenanigans.
Has any DC staff member pissed on Marvel?
>>78375684
What the hell is up certain Marvel writer's asses about DC? Spencer*, Gillen, McKelvie, Slott and other people keep subtweeting/reblogging shady shit or just posting things about DC while the writers at DC don't do anything or did nothing to them.
*Okay I get that Spencer got a raw deal with Supergirl/Teen Titans but he has got to let it the fuck go now.
>>78375762
>my landlord is borrowing BSG
How can one man be so lucky?Did he trade his sister for that luck?
>>78375767
>Slott
He posts more about the movies though, and even him changed his mind
>>78375762
Well that was a ride.
>>78375767
>Spencer*, Gillen, McKelvie, Slott and other people keep subtweeting/reblogging shady shit or just posting things about DC
DC's a popular mark I guess
>>78375798
>hated the teaser
>hated the comic-con trailer
>loves BOYS HMMM
Oh Slott
>>78375745
I can't think of one, really. Most every DC guy/girl seems like just a cool bro/chick. Whether or not that's a company policy to not engage in that sort of thing, I don't know. But as a longtime comic reader who keeps up with the creatives, it's a show of professionalism that's really appreciated.
>>78375762
What an absolute madman.
>>78375841
>>78375837
i still think someone hacked him, i am not buying
>>78375839
The closest I've seen is Zack Snyder calling the Ant-Man movie a flavor of the week and even then he openly loves Guardians of the Galaxy.
>>78375620
this from 2002
>>78375862
I wonder how can someone live the dream so much like him
>>78375862
Is he autistic?
>YWN eat cereal with Geoff Johns.
Sigh... maybe one day...
>>78375878
You guys just took that out of context to shit on him some more. He said he wanted to see Ant-Man, he just hadn't yet, he wasn't trying to insult it.
>>78375886
>luck into dream job
>make his fanfiction reality
>get all the cereal you want
>qt asian waifu
>qt doggies
He is the luckiest man alive
>>78375891
Johns does seem very eccentric or childish
>>78375891
He collects cereal. What do you think?
>>78375884
To be fair, while he does have a point, it aint DC fault, its Warner
>>78375653
I saved them separately
>>78375943
>>78375839
The closest thing might have be Nicola Scott's 'we don't need to go on the View' comment
>>78375956
Say what you will about Bendis but his Kingpin cosplay is top notch.
>>78375956
Bendis is like a less imposing Kingpin
>>78375943
>Lee still short despite being in front of two people
>4/6 of them look half way to being swole
If you replaced Didio with Capullo, they could destroy Marvel once and for all
>>78375943
Snyder truly is an American Vampire
>>78375989
>>78375991
More like Lex Luthor with diabetes.
>>78375997
Capullo and Mahnke tag teaming could take everyone on the Marvel side
>>78375974
While I'm glad she said that, I really do wish that DC would get some press because DCYou really needed some promo and the View or whatever would've helped.
>>78375943
>>78375956
>>78376029
To be fair, Rodriguez was working on a Vertigo book before he went to Marvel
>>78376014
So all Mahnke does all day is draw and lift, right?
Same with Capullo if his twitter is any indication.
>>78375974
Nicola Scott is hot.
>>78375918
It's karmic balance for the loss of his sister:

>>78375922
Eh, dude writes comic books and is the creative consultant for shows/movies/etc. I'd expect someone like that to be a giant geek and really goofy.
>>78375997
>>78376014
Team DC vs Team Alliance (Marvel) Tag Team Match when?
>>78376029
I am really glad that Cho shitted on him every single way possible
>>78375956
>>78376029
>>78375625
I'm starting to understand why Marvel appeals to nerds and tumblrs more than DC
>>78376043
Now he gets punked on a monthly basis by a pudgy Asian guy who draws cheesecake for a living.
>>78376060
Haha gross
>>78375869
Nah, he's just faking so when the movie comes out he can start acting like he was disappointed.
>>78376045
>So all Mahnke does all day is draw and lift, right?
I think he's gotten doughier lately, to be fair
but yeah I'm pretty sure all Capullo does is lift and draw
>>78375938
He had nothing to really stand on at that point though, since the reason Sony was even making a Spiderman movie was because Marvel went bankrupt and Perlmutter started selling rights to get it out of the hole.
>>78376064
Frank Cho is pretty based though. He basically gets mobbed by big tittied women every con.
>>78375938
Then DC goes on to create the most revered comic book movie of all time, starring Batman.
>>78375502
>its better than what Miller has put out ever since 2000 though
No. DKSA was at least entertaining and it felt like an experiment that didn't work. DKIII feels like just another DC comic
Stand writer, standard artist, standard colorist
>>78374715
What is the context here?
Holy fucking shit did anyone else read that spewing of beta-faggotry from Bendis about his wife? Now I understand why Marvel has been on a feminazi run lately. Check the Hubble telescope feed, I want to see where my sides have ended up in the universe.
>>78375563
Because they can have the success but they will never have the class.
>>78375563
Because no matter how popular Marvel characters are they have never reached the same culturally iconic status as DC's big hitters. Marvels characters are popular right now because of their wildly succesful film franchise but DC has characters that have transcended their medium and become modern american myth. And it certainly seems like there is a great deal of insecurity about that at Marvel. I mean just look at the number of Superman expies they have.
>>78377138
Huh?
>>78376122
>since the reason Sony was even making a Spiderman movie was because Marvel went bankrupt and Perlmutter started selling rights to get it out of the hole.
You dumbass, it was Avi Arad who was selling rights in the 90's, and the Spider-Man rights were already sold back in the 80's to a small time studio. Then a whole lot of convoluted shit happened and Sony got the rights.
>>78375991
princepeg
>friendly bantz between companies is now an 'employee acting immature'
yeah but when Jason Momoa called Marvel comics shit, no one bat an eye
>>78378553
Yeah... no one gives a shit about that lmao
I'm really sure Disney-Marvel execs are crying about their characters not being as popular as Superman and Batman while they roll in dough
>>78374977
Why give attention to the complainers in the first place? If some random hostile asshole drops in your inbox, you ignore it. Brevoort and a lot of other Marvel writers instead choose to be constantly belligerent, as if they're convinced dissing some random nobody on the internet makes them look clever and tough.
I guess this is still his "if costumers are angry they buy books" mentality at work.
>>78377138
>Holy fucking shit did anyone else read that spewing of beta-faggotry from Bendis about his wife?
What, where, want to read. About his Kitty or real wife?
>googles bendis wife
>Alisa Bendis
>landwhale
>>78375155
>Is banter this one-sided?
>>78375564
He has no problem mentioning the DC titles he buys and likes. He doesn't actually hate DC.
He probably doesn't take this company wars shit anywhere near as seriously as some comic nerds do. It's a joke, not an angry rant.
>>78378553
I would say that this is probably true in all cases except Spider-Man. Going just by merchandise sales, the closest thing to a quantifier we have for cultural awareness, even the monolithic Batman merchandising empire, raking in $494 million in 2013, is a distant second to Spider-Man, who came in at a whopping $1.3 billion.
It probably helps that Spider-Man's been on TV about as long as Batman has, with about the same consistency over the years. No other Marvel character has that advantage.
>>78379608
did someone say licensing?
>>78374715
Marvel employees being petulant shits, news at 11.
this is really childish and DC should look into hiring people who can act a bit more mature than this
marvelfag here (actually former).
Brevoort is known to be a cunt to everyone. Everyone.
It's a little sad, because marvel used to be bro with their fans. Nowadays, scumbags like Slott, Bendis, Quesada, Alonso, Brevoort bully their fans and insult them
>>78379979
A fan asked Momoa to write that and he did per request, and it's not like the MCU actors haven't done this RDJ openly shitted in TDKR because it was too high brow for him and said "Fuck DC", just google it.
That said Evans and Cavill are based they always deflect Marvel vs DC shit and compliment the competition's charscters.
>>78379979
1) WB handles this and 2) we're talking about the comic companies, WB and MCU people shit on each other all the time.
>>78380201
>RDJ openly shitted in TDKR
TDK. Downhere Jr. was upset Heath Ledger ruined his chances for an Oscar that year.
>>78375991
Holy shit the buttons of the vest are going to kill somebody.
>>78375943
I bet none of them were in actual fight in are their lives.
>>78380322
Grant grew up in Glasgow, so he probably has.
>>78379608
>I would say that this is probably true in all cases except Spider-Man.
Spider-Man is popular not iconic.
>>78380401
And DiDio used to be enforcer or something.
>>78374715
That's so sad and petty...
>someone hates marvel
>lets berate DC
now I get where /co/'s marveldrones get their mentality from
>>78380401
Just because you're from Detroit doesn't mean you're a hardcore, motherfuckin' gangsta.
>>78380642
Glasgow was a true shithole in the 70-80. If i rememeber right, Morrison was a drugie in that period of time so...
>>78375943 I'm pretty sure Johns and Snyder don't know how to fight. Grant prolly too. Romita and Didio look like bear huggers and general fuck you up type. Lee is tiny but has brawler look. But he looks real fucking tiny, look at those fucking fists. 2 yes, 2 no, 2 fifty-fifty.
>>78375956 Brubaker knows how to fuck a nigga up, 1000% same with Aaron, drink fight and fuck. Bendis and Hickman look like the kind of guy who just lies down and takes a beating. BUT it's possible Hickman might be secretly a cool fighter. Fraction was bullied by Bru in school AND he's a bottom for Kelly so yeah, nah. 2 yes, 2 no, 1 fifty-fifty.
You drop in Quesada and it might be a pretty fair fight.
>>78375943
What's the jacketJim Lee is wearing called?
>>78380466
>Spider-Man is popular not iconic.
in what way isnt he iconic? id say he put the foundation for the teenage superhero archetype
>>78380466
im trying to find a point to argue with you but i cant.
fuck
>>78375943
>>78375956
honestly, whats stopping the DC offices from getting tired and just going over to marvel offices and beating everyone up there over their twitter post
They certainly can do it
>>78380735
Fight Club rules, skinny guys fight till they're burger. Unbeknownst to you, Lee is a rabid animal in a fight and thus Team DC's greatest asset.
>>78380735
>1000% same with Aaron
top lel. He's a fat neckebard. He can maybe beat you at cards, but that's about it.
atleast it's not quesada tier where they take it so far they won't even consider a jla/avengers crossover anymore
that man cut so many ties
>>78380989
the law...
>>78381023
No, this is worse. Your badmouthing an industry legend, a legends that wrote some of your company's best stories might I add and that is sick and dying. What if Frank Miller drops dead tomorrow? What's Breevort going to say then? he's a fucking clown. As for Quesada, I don't know about the worst he's done, was it him that was badmouthing Didio's mother at some con while she was sick and then running away from the confrontation?
Jeez, what is it with Marvel and no class?
>>78381068
>don't know about the worst he's done, was it him that was badmouthing Didio's mother at some con while she was sick and then running away from the confrontation
What the fuck
>>78381068
>Your badmouthing an industry legend
I wouldn't call Azzerello an industry legend, and last I checked, Miller had almost no part in DKIII outside of some plotting and letting them use his name. Not doing the art, Azzerello doing 99% of the writing (hence why it turned into SJW pandering garbage within the first 3 pages), and was so bad that Miller announced the actual finale is going to be DKIV which he's doing himself because of how bad DKIII turned out.
DKIII is just a desperate cashgrab to make up for all of their actually good books not selling.
>>78381068
>was it him that was badmouthing Didio's mother at some con while she was sick and then running away from the confrontation?
Elaborate on this please
>>78379174
I think it's more in the lines of "this letter is so stupid it deserves trolling"
>>78375579
It sold 70 variant covers. Some of them were 1 in 5000. There are LCS that have bought 5, maybe 10 thousand copies - which they cannot possibly sell because there aren't 500,000 comic book buyers left in the US and Canada as a whole, or annual sales for the market as a whole would be an order of magnitude higher - and the book itself outsold the regular Batman comic (which represents the peak of fan interest and has done so, solidly, for years) 4 to 1. So if we're generous, 3 in every 4 copies that has "sold" is actually going to be remaindered for years or just pulped to save space (which would actually make the remaining stock more valuable, ironically).
They're hoping that they can get these variants signed etc and sell them to collectors - which are probably just other LCS now - for four or five figure sums. Since the unsold copies cost them something like a dollar less than the cover price (and there will have been price breaks beyond that for the largest orders as well) it's kind of a solid bet - assuming they can find a buyer for those rares - that they'll break even, maybe make a strong profit. But it's how they do business, and the fact that one title has 70 variants to exploit that business model to the full should be ringing alarm bells with you.
>>78381144
> DKIV which he's doing himself because of how bad DKIII turned out.
Unless he's doing it in 2016 and it's already half done, it's not happening.
He may be off chemo but his chances of ever going back to that level of full-time work are slim indeed, and his chances of re-emergence are high.
>>78381254
>chemo
>Frank Miller
slander
>>78381238
>But it's how they do business, and the fact that one title has 70 variants to exploit that business model to the full should be ringing alarm bells with you.
What a bunch of jackasses DC is for resorting to such cheap tactics for one book that's a comtinuation of one of the most influential titles in history and one of the two that ushered in the modern age of comics.
You'd never see Marvel, a fine upstanding company helmed by gentlemen of the highest caliber, resort to such methods for multiple titles.
>>78380788
that would be robin actually
>>78380728
>Morrison was a drugie in that period of time so...
Morrison was actually clean. He didn't start doing drugs until way later in life.
>>78374715
The amount of Poole who completely missed the point is hilarious to me. Of course autists can't process banter and good-natured ribbing
>>78382286

You got a weird definition of good natured anon
>>78382327
Not my fault you're on the spectrum. It was clearly a joke and I'm not gonna waste my time trying to explain it to a brick like you.
>>78380201
He did not shit on it. He said it was too smart written for him. There's a difference. RDJ might be a good actor but doesn't change the fact that his IQ is lower than a monkey's.

Azzarello also co-wrote the black lives matter issue of the main Bat-title, face it, this is what he believes.
>>78381068
>What if Frank Miller drops dead tomorrow?
Don't jynx that anon. Looking at the pictures of Frank the man has one feet on the grave.
So what is that story with Bendis' wife, what did he say
>>78380788
I meant in the sense that Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman now exists in the same cultural space as Sherlock Holmes, Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein. Characters that have grown to mythical proportions and entered the cultural consciousness in a way that Spider-Man, for all his popularity, has yet to do.
>>78375798
Hasn't that scene shown for months
>>78382804
What? That black lives *gasp* matter?
What a dick

>*gasp*
Not like he's lying
>>78375155
DC's employees can beat up Marvel's, and they're secure in that fact.
I'm only partially joking too. Look up some pictures of them. DC's guys are either buff as fuck or look to be dangerously insane
>>78375461
I like it so far, even though I thought it was going full black lives matter in the beginning.
>>78384523
>hurr all lives matter
that's like going to a chinese restaurant where they serve chinese food exclusively and throwing a fit when you can't find lasagna on the menu

>Grant prolly too.
He and Millar used to take self-defense classes back in the 90's but I don't know if he still remembers it.
>>78380322

>>78380735
>Johns

>>78374715
Whether it's intended to talk shit about a DC title or just playfully saying "you should buy this" it fits too well with the ongoing "Marvel talks shit about DC and DC continues to not respond."
Of course people are going to assume it's meant as another cheap shot.
>>78376122
This meme that Marvel sold the movie rights after going bankrupt needs to die
>>78388169

>>78387403
Man, now I want to see Geoff Johns punch Bendis hard enough to leave a permanent imprint of his Flash ring in his bald head.
Or Lantern ring.
>>78388151
Johns is Lebanese, not Israeli
>>78375762
>my landlord is borrowing BSG
>>78374715
Marvel will never do anything like DKR 3 because they never did anything like The Dark Knight Returns.
>>78389117
Johns is Lebanese?
>>78389562
yeah his dad immigrated over
>>78384550
No?
Saying black lives matter doesn't imply that the lives of non-blacks don't matter.
>>78389572
I learned something today. Neat!
>>78375767
What did Gillen and McKelvie say about DC?
>>78382695
He ended with a fuck DC amd said that his comment probably burned some bridges with the company so I think he was being condescending with that comment.
>>78389572
Geoff looks so white though
>>78389761

>>78374715
Oh come on, a setup like that practically demands that sort of response.
