This is from Brevoort's tumblr. Am I missing something? Did someone at Marvel die?
>>79033205
STAN WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
Posted three hours ago, by the way.
...Alan Rickman?
After the recent string of celebrity deaths, people are getting suspicious, so Stan Lee's going to fake his death tomorrow. All of the higher-ups at Marvel know, of course. Brevoort, the idiot, released his fake tumblr reaction a few hours early.
Did Jim Shooter die?
>Jim Shooter dead
>it's Dan Haggerty
>Brevoort will never die
feels bad, man
>>79033205
What in the fuck?
>>79033205
Stan strikes again
>>79033205
Seriously, who the hell died?
So who died?
>>79033485
WHo at Marvel is British and 69?
>>79033495
>>79033485
Welp time to go ask Brevoort
>>79033506
But it's 3 AM in New York. I doubt he'd answer.
>>79033205
Is Jim Shooter dead or did Brevoort get confused and think he was talking about Gruenwald or something?
>>79033422
But what does he have to do with Marvel?
>>79033569
Didn't Gruenwald die 20 years ago or something?
WHAT IN HELL
I can't find any news articles on anything.
I would think someone that important would have an article by now.
>>79033588
Oh right, missed the part where it was recent.
Well he just retweeted a bunch of Frank Miller art, but I don't see how he'd be related to it
Well gang, it looks like we've got a mystery on our hands.
>>79033633
And Miller's still alive as far as we know. He just retweeted a Jim Lee tweet 10 hours ago.
Also this was from a recent photo that he retweeted, too.
>>79033665
Any recent photo of Frank Miller does not instill me with confidence that he's alive...
>>79033655
Jinkies!
>>79033665
58 years old. Yikes.
>>79033665
>>79033692
It's possible Stan accidentally absorbed too much of his life force too soon and revived his corpse via necromancy so it would seem like Frank's still alive. It's possible.
Who died though?
>>79033692
What no one knows is that Frank is Stan's successor as the Lich King. Stan tried to drain him but couldn't finish the job, now Frank only has to wait for the king to eventually die to ascend to his throne.
>>79033535
Well then he'll just get right to answering it first when he checks his tumblr again.
>>79033668
>But he was never a Marvel editor was he?
No, but frankly the guy looks like death nowadays anyway, so if he IS dead it's the least surprising one. but again, never been in a position of firing someone. Someone dig up a list of past EiCs and Presidents.
And whatever Alan Fine does
>>79033665
>>79033723
>Lucky for you
>>79033723
Like, the plot thickens!
Maybe Quesada kicked it
>>79033781
>Quesada dies
>Marvel publishes marriage issues for whole year
I'd like it.
>>79033692
Are you implying that the mainstream American comic book writer/artist community as a whole is performing some kind of Weekend at Bernie's scenario with Frank Miller's corpse?
>>79033808
There was no dog in that porn, right?
>>79033809
And Logan smokes again.
>>79033817
do hot dogs count?
>>79033817
No.But there was Shaggy's giant dick
>>79033811
No, just DC.
>Fuck, we need to beat Marvel. I know! Dark Knight 3! Where's Millers phone number?
>What? Dead? Wait, no... we can work with that. Azzarello spent a summer learning puppetry from one of Jim Henson's cousins. We got this.
>Wolfman is 69
SOMEONE WARN HIM, HE'S ON THE HITLIST
>>79033851
Is Miller friend with Morrison? I would sleep soundly if I had Hypercrisis mage waiting to kickstart me into new life.
Alright, let's get a list going of possible deaths.
>Stan Lee
>Jim Shooter
Who else could it be?
>>79033879
I hope it's Dan Slott
>>79033205
Also the real question is if someone did die who was comics related does that mean the anon was someone who works in the industry taking a shot at Brevoort?
OH SHIT IT IS REAL WHO IS IT?
>>79033205
Yeah, Richard Rider.
It's Tom Defalco guys.he died last night.
Who's dead from this list?
>>79033919
Wait what
>>79033919
Google says he's fine
>>79033205
Issac Perlmutter?

>>79033940
If Ike the kike finally kicked it, we won't find out for months
>>79033935
Yeah but news doesn't update that fast while most of Marvel is still sleeping
>>79033942
If Harass kicked it that would be amazing.
It's 8:39 AM over in the UK, surely Rich Johnston is awake by now, right?
>>79033942
Honestly, I can't see any of those guys as someone who would come in and whip everyone into shape. They're either part of the problem or too far out of the game.
>>79033964
It'd have to be on the news for someone to shitpost on Brevoort's tumblr. Unless it's another Marvel exec shitposting on Brevoort's tumblr
>>79033919
Source fag
Brevoort is posting a bunch of Frank Miller stuff right around the time he responded to that message on his tumblr.
https://twitter.com/TomBrevoort
Oh no...
>>79033988
We already covered this, Miller was never an editor. He was never in any position to fire anyone at Marvel
>>79033984
Not neccesarily, if it's someone in the industry shitposting (and in some cases I could believe there'd be some creators doing that), they would be in contact with other people in the industry and get the news first.
>>79034002
Yeah, that makes sense...
I hope you're right. Unless it's Stan.
>>79033983
>They're either part of the problem or too far out of the game
Yeah, but still, "Oh fuck, now Marvel's ruined because he was the only guy who could kick everyone's ass into shape and fire all the fat fucks I don't like" is exactly the kind of sentiment I'd expect to see in a Jim Shooter death announcement thread.
>>79034002
>>79033988
>The mystery death is Stan Lee
>Frank Miller and Stan Lee die on the same day
>>79033984
Makes sense, Brevoort's caused a lot of PR problems. Well, not huge ones but you know what I mean.
>>79033983
The only one I could see from that list as being someone who'd come in and fire everyone's asses is Shooter.
>>79034018
True. I guess Lee and DeFalco too for that matter.
>>79033847
>But there was Shaggy's giant dick
Shaggy's probably smells though.
>>79034026
That's true but remember that whoever died, those closest to them are not gonna automatically announce it to the comic news sites. They're gonna call those creators closest to them first and then they'll tell those creators closest to them.
So I'd say whoever shitposted on Brevoort's tumblr hours ago was in the know.
>>79034041
Okay. Time to make Shooter EiC.
>>79033781
If only
>>79034063
We've been praying for it for years but nothing's worked. Maybe we need to meme magic it like /tv/ and /mu/ did
>>79034063
Would he use his personal axe to kill everyone involved in Hawkguy's delays?
>>79033919
You best be making shit up, I can't stand the thought that his last Spider-Girl story would be one affected by Dan Slott's bullshit from Spider-Verse.
>>79034077
Maybe DeFalco's death would make Sloth feel so guilty he'll commit seppuku.
>>79033205
It was me.
>>79034101
That would imply this man has honor.
It sounds a lot like Shooter based on the tone of the anon, unfortunately.It's probably not Stan. He's immortal
Probably Shooter.
>>79034106
G-G-G-GHOST!
>>79034130
>he'll never save us
I really hope Shooter's dead. Prick.
Merciful Jesus, please don't let it be Shooter. I just found his blog and I'm having the time of my life. I'd feel oddly responsible if that were the case.
Fuck's sake, just tell us who it is.
>>79034201
Find out in next #1, true believer!
>>79034212
>Jim Shooter is replaced by a black, trans, other-kin, midget Jim Shooter

>>79034225
Ugh, you HAD to make a distasteful joke didn't you?
IT'S 4:02 AM EST NOW
>>79034251
Fuck off SJW baby. I'm spinning in my grave just looking at this shit.
>>79034251
Breevort pls.
Shooter confirmed still alive 5 hours ago?
MARVEL'S PR TEAM IS SCRAMBLING TO TRY AND FIND AN EASY WAY TO BREAK STAN'S DEATH TO US
>>79034225
Maybe if we're lucky Marvel can replace him with Max Landis. Then every marvel superhero can be drunk fratboys that bang random women and burn people's limbs off
Is Shooter still reeling from the time a couple of gays said hi to him at the YMCA?
>>79034270
>>79034276
Will you stop being a faggot or at least go back to spamming those "Black Canary's head is sewed to Frankenstein because DC is gross and edgy" threads so the mods can ban your faggotry again
If Stan Lee died, we'd have heard about it by now. The tabloids always find out.
>>79034276
Is this a new /co/mblr meme or are you really butthurt with Max Landis?
>>79034294
Didn't it take 4 days before the news of Spock dying got out?
>>79034270
Then I guess we still havean active Shooter situation
>>79034272
Honestly this seems likely. I mean, nigga's 93.
>>79034308
but he just fed on 3 guys
>>79034301
No.
>>79034251
>ugh
Just...ugh.
>>79034294
They've had a plan for Stan's death since 2010, man. I guarantee the top priority is making sure no one finds out until they're ready.
>>79034296
It's just one faggot false flagging and hoping his unfunny shit catches on.
I knew I should've gone to bed earlier. Now I'm worried that Stan's dead.
>>79034290
>because DC is gross and edgy
to be fair, they kinda are.
>>79034328
He will outlive you, anon.
>>79034306
build wall carlos
I really hope it's not Frank
>>79033842
What's this from? Who are the 2 guys Quesada is bothering?
>>79034339
Welll memed, /co/mblr. Go back to fellating Marlel.
>>79034339
to be fair, you're a humongous faggot
We should be F5ing comicsalliance until they announce something.
http://desustorage.org/co/thread/78946448
Maybe our meme magic worked.
>>79034365
Rich reads /co/ so I would've expected him to post something by now.
>>79034365

Why would you go to that place?

>Comicsalliance
Are you some sort of fag?
WHO THE FUCK DIED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
>>79034373
/co/'s meme magic is too weak
/mu/ is the only one with consistency
>>79034393
Marvel.
>>79034358
>you can make jokes about the dead, but god forbid someone joke about dc
dude
>>79034365
>>79034389
I wonder what got Alan Rickman then.
>>79034375
Rich may not be a real reporter, but I think he'd wait until he knows who it is before writing an article.
He isn't gonna write a "Who at Marvel has died? Let's speculate" story
>>79034354
It's true tho. They are also idiots and think Pakistan speaks Pakistanian.
>>79034358
Shouldn't you be busy playing Call of Duty with your "Bros"?
>>79034401
who cares about the dead their not around anymore

It was cancer, so.../mlp/

>The faggot is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, shitposter, drone, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a faggot and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”
>>79034416
so is dc
>>79034409
It was all Stan Lee. People say he's a Lich, but that's wrong. Like Galactus The Man has been absorbing life energy to one day expel it. When he finally dies the life will flow from him and in a crackle of light Jack Kirby will be reborn
The Once and Future King
>>79034396
Marvel is dead. Buried. Consider this mercy.
>>79034416
Ow! I just cut myself on your edge!
>>79034433
Holy shit.
>>79034341
Yeah, you're right, I shouldn't worry about him. I'm just pissed because I was about to get some shut-eye.
>>79034413
>He isn't gonna write a "Who at Marvel has died? Let's speculate" story
There's been a post made on Stan's Facebook page since the original Brevoort post was made.
Wouldn't the people in charge of it be more likely to hear early on that he had died that random people in the industry?
>>79034461
>implying they're not "Weekend at Stan's"-ing him
>>79034461
Is it an official page or a fan-made thing
Is it Bendis, the future EiC?
>>79034473
Official.
If it is Stan he's now disqualified from the Angouleme Grand Prix
>>79034477
Bendis isn't gonna go in and fire everybody.
>>79034457
>Actually read the article
>Its about CB leaving New York City to operate someone else
You're full of shit
>>79034494
That's right, he'll turn them all black instead
>>79034494
He does reverse, hires everyone who ever said hi to him.
>>79034461
I thought that too, but there are probably so many degrees of separation between anyone who actually knows Stan Lee, and the people who actually post from that page, they might just not know.
>>79034494
> what are you doing drawing so much, don't you realize you can just reuse the same panel for most of the page?!
It's Stan Lee guys, but upon his death he released a curse that killed everyone on the planet.
Only ones saved are the ones that knew about the curse
>>79034483
>If it is Stan he's now disqualified from the Angouleme Grand Prix
Fuck off with this memey bullshit. We're talking about a dead man here.
>>79034509
BOSTON BRAND DIED?!
>>79034503
I doubt that. One of the first things they'd likely do is get a hold of whoever posts on that page to get them to stay quiet.
>>79034509
Shut up, Stan, you're not dead. Stop trying to stay relevant.
>>79034497
It was a joke. Would BleedingCool actually post a breaking news death announcement as a clickbait "leaving Marvel....FOREVER!" headline?
Seriously tho it was Shooter
>>79034534
Yes
>>79034524
But why would they keep it quiet? Wouldn't you think there would be more of a backlash if we found out they withheld that information?
>>79034394
>/co/'s meme magic is too weak
it's so weak it does the opposite of what it does on other boards, they atleast get the effects they want.
What a year.
GUYS
WHAT IF IT'SSTERANKO
So someone knows a comic book person died before any media outlets do and they decide to go shit on Tom Brevoort? Why?
>>79034545
They have to find artists for variant cover mourning month.
>>79034571
Disgruntled ex-employee?
>>79034561
Don't you fucking dare, dude.
>>79034571
Becausethey're the murderer
>>79034571
Maybe they were shitfaced.
>>79034585
Ghost of Jack Kirby shitposts on Brevoort's tumblr?
>>79034571
Because reasons
>>79034561
Fuck off with your meme magic
>>79034580
It's one of the Marvel refugees over at Valiant
>>79034545
I meant kept quiet as in not post any more content in general on the page until the morning when they can make an official post about his death. That latest post on his Facebook page is an article from his website; they definitely wouldn't let something like that slip through after his death.
>>79034561
I would cry for days.
This is kind of exciting.
>>79034600
Arbona?
>>79034561
>implying he wouldn't use his powers of Freedom to break chains of death
>yfw they start working Stan's death into the marketing for Deadpool
>>79034571
And then Tom decided to answer the question before any death was officially announced?
It must have been somebody Brevoort knew and worked with to get such an emotional reaction out of him.
Stan seems content doing his own thing now with that Chakra the Invincible series and making his obligatory movie cameos. If a person in the know got pissed that someone died because they thought they were the last person who would be Marvel's "last hope", I can't see it being Stan.
>>79034637
>and people say FF was bad
Allred's plotting + Fraction's comedic tempo = Marvel method magic at work
>>79034661
Most people still think Stan Lee is king of Marvel
>>79034669
they were just bootyblasted about the Living Tribunal coming down to call Doom a shit
>>79034678
That's Bendis tho
>>79034669
People didn't say FF was bad. They said Fantastic Four, the main book, was bad
Oh fuck. It was John Byrne. People on his forum are talking about it.
>>79034705
John Byrne is the very last person I would trust to set anything right.
>>79034705
No way.
>>79034678
A person in the know about this person's death most likely wouldn't see Stan Lee as the King of Marvel.
>>79034705
>lying
You got me excited for nothing.
Only death I'd be more happy with than Frank Miller's.
>>79034705

>>79034756
>>79034742
It would be freakin hilarious to see him in charge though.
>>79034705
Nice trick anon. you actually had me going there for a bit.
>Anon that hatefollows Brevoort posts a "Fuck, now he's gone and he's gonna be rolling in his grave over what you're doing to Marvel!" ask to get him to rapidly start asking everybody who died like a dumbass
>Instead of ignoring or deleting it, he plays along and answers "Don't talk shit about the dead!"
>Now everyone who hatefollows Brevoort is asking who died like a dumbass
>>79034742
What did he do?
>>79034769
I bet this is what happened, fuck.
>>79034769
Brevoort doesn't play along with people from what I can tell. The anon didn't even imply it was a dead person, he just used the word gone which could've meant that someone left the company.
>>79034769
No Anon, that's not the genius part. Half of us don't even have tumblrs, but probably made ones just to ask "Who died?!"
>>79034769
Seems like kind of a weak prank to start with though, no?
>>79033840
>those prices
Sweet jesus...
>>79034790
You can ask a question anonymously at his tumblr, you know.
>>79034829
It was a long time ago.
STAN
HUNGERS
What if it's Ike?
>>79034790
As long as anonymous asks are on you don't need an account.
>>79034849
> no heroic party to destroy the evil lich
What a sad time to be alive.
>>79034867
Are you that bad at comprehending what the anon in the screencap asked?
Will Civil War suffer or prosper from Stan's death?
if this is legit, that means whoever sent that message is probably part of the company or something right?
>>79034849
Who is his silver surfer?
>>79034890
Kirby ;_;
>>79034888
Part of it, or was once part of it. Like say a fired editor a writer who quit Quesada/Alonso-era Marvel on bad terms or something.
Or it could even be a fan who's somehow in the inner circle of comic creators.
>>79034890
That dude who sued him a while ago.
>>79034880
Ike could totally fix things man, he saves money.
>>79034885
Stan's not allowed to die until after he tapes his Infinity War cameo, wherein he gives Strange a pep-talk on the Moon.
>>79034902
How would a fired editor be in the inner circle? I'm assuming a mass email would have been sent out, and an ex-employee would have been removed from the list
>>79034888
It's Henderson. Deep down, she hates what she's become and wishes for it all to end.
>>79034849
>>79034918
There's a chip that's implanted in all current and former Marvel employees that alerts them to his every heartbeat.
>>79034918
>How would a fired editor be in the inner circle?
Not Marvel's inner circle. Inner circle of correspondence between comics freelancers and staffers in general. We also know that whoever the anon is talking about isn't currently working for Marvel so if that person died, then family and close friends would know it first and then they may pass the news on to other people in their circle and so on, but not to Bleeding Cool or The Beat or Comics Alliance or CBR or whatever just yet.
>>79034918
Just because someone got fired doesn't mean they can't still be friends with someone at Marvel, or with whoever died and find out. Have you never had a work friend quit or lose their job without totally disowning them because you're 100% in lockstep with your company?

A thought just occurred to me, whats going to happen to DC when Keith Giffen dies?
Thinking more about it Keith probably has an entire comic book he himself did that is only to be published after his death involving Lobo, Ambush Bug, Vril Dox, and himself taking the piss out of everything
>>79034959
/co/ is made up of kids and NEETs, most here haven't had a job.
Guys, this probably has to do with CB Celbulski no longer being involved with Marvel Comics in the New York offices.

>>79034981
Brevoort used the word dead though.
>>79034981
Who's redhead from gif? I need it for SCIENCE!
>>79034981
But he's not likely to go in and fire people.
>>79034997
It's likely a figure of speech for "no longer working here."
>>79035002
I'd bet it's from an Iron Man 2 porn parody.

Lemmy, Bowie and Rickman in combination was just too much for him to handle.
