He has said that crowdfunding will only begin once the projects are finished. So the projects can be shipped more timely.

Zack just radiates confidence, doesn't he? I'd want to have someone like him on my side when shit pops off.
His personality is the antithesis of ppl like Ron Toye & Mark Waid. He's a man of action and probably makes people like waid et al uncomfortable simply to be around.
I think a lot of this is like playground personas blown up larger than life.

I haven’t been keeping up with his videos. Good to know he actually learned from the previous projects, it’s so fucking rare to see it (people improving) happen.

We usually focus on complete lolcows. Normal people actually do improve.

Bleeding Cool’s articles have gotten better ever since Rich got demoted and the danger hair took over. Imagine being so shit a danger hair does a better job than one of the founders. He seems to only drag BC down with him whenever Rich talks about anything.

Also, Hell yeah! B&W version I knew Sean was /our/ guy. I remember wanting a B&W version of Batman White Knight because of how much I liked his inks a year ago:

IMHO colorists are the least important part of the comic production team. I’ve rarely ever read a comic where I feel the color added things to the story. Normally I notice the coloring when it’s freaking terrible, pick up any book with art by Sorrentino (specially bad in Secret Empire) to notice what I’m talking about.

Some books look better with just the inks, take Batman: White Knight for example:

If Sean Gordon Murphy or DC ever decides to release a B&W version of Batman: WK I’m buying it in a heartbeat. The coloring isn’t bad, but B&W just looks better.

This has bad idea written all over it:

DC Comics announced Superman: Year One from Frank Miller and John Romita Jr. will hit comic book shelves this June!



The series has been a work in progress. Miller had announced the project in July of 2017, but the announcement was short on details. John Romita Jr. would provide a little more information on the series when he discussed it at Boston Comic Con in August of 2017 where he described the book was similar to Miller’s Daredevil: Man Without Fear.



Now, we have an official description courtesy of DC Comics:

“SUPERMAN: YEAR ONE is a coming-of-age story for the future Man of Steel, featuring a young alien-boy just trying to find his place in a new world. Faced with the need to hide his heritage and powers in order to survive, Clark will find his humanity through the grounding of the Kent family and the relationships that will define the man he will become. Told by two of the most revered voices in comics, SUPERMAN: YEAR ONE is more than a superhero story – it’s about the choices made by Clark Kent on his path to becoming a legend. It’s a testament to the importance of choosing to become a hero.

Superman: Year One will published under DC Comics’ DC Black Label and will be released in large-format periodicals. The series will be three issues long. The first issue will feature three covers from John Romita Jr. and Alex Sinclair and one cover by Frank Miller.



The first issue in the series will hit comic book shops on June 19, 2019 with subsequent issues debuting in August and October. All three issues will be collected and available to purchase in November.

Not (((BENDIS))) level bad, but not that good either. If you've read/seen Dark Knight Returns imagine that version of Superman growing up or at least I'm hoping it's not. The official description sounds nice tho. Guess we'll see.

I wonder how Dan Slott is doing...

I don't follow, what exactly would be wrong with seeing DKR version of Superman growing up? Or why it might suck?

It's a very, very bad version of Superman, and Frank Miller openly hates the character and makes him a dunce on purpose in his writings. Why you would put Miller of all people on Superman is just weird, and anybody who actually likes Superman should most likely avoid it like the plague.

 

[GranDuke]

I'll ask citation for that open hatred of Superman.

The closest to sex, let alone an orgy that Dan Scott has ever been. And that seemingly sums up Dan’s life. Sitting in the dark all alone listening to other people joy and happiness through the wall.

Miller’s take on Superman in DKR was fine. Just so long as this doesn’t head into All Star Batman & Robin territory it should be fine.

Frank Miller Admits to Hating Superman in a New Interview About The Dark Knight Universe

Anyone who’s ever read Frank Miller’s ‘The Dark Knight Returns’ ought to be pretty familiar with the legendary fight between Batman and Superman that...

Literally the first hit in Google.

While he may be saying it somewhat facetiously, there's definitely grains of truth in it. He's never paid any respect to the character and I'd be surprised if this time was any different.

Frank Miller’s distaste for Superman is pretty well documented by this point, though a more accurate description of the problem with Frank Miller when it comes to Superman (and other characters like him, what with Wonder Woman and Green Lantern’s portrayal in All Star Batman & Robin) is that he clearly favors Batman above all else, and as such post-DKR he goes out of his way to make Batman his self insert Gary Stu who can do no wrong and shares all of Miller’s political opinions, and thus characters like Superman are made to look ineffectual or corrupted to make Batman look better.

Does anyone have a good result to report from hiring this clown? His other main claim to fame is snitching out a client to the CIA. One article about that, albeit from a somewhat kooky site, disappeared nearly instantly after it was posted here: https://archive.fo/ga1lL (conspiracy site but it cites to court records you can check yourself).

Another: https://shadowproof.com/2016/03/28/...onviction-cia-whistleblower-jeffrey-sterling/ http://archive.is/KHaGU

This article calls Zaid out because despite being a so-called whistleblower attorney, he's more known for publicly castigating whistleblowers and their attorneys, in addition to ratting out Jeffrey Sterling to the CIA. Why would any whistleblower trust this snake?

I wouldn't be surprised if Zaid were just making things go smoothly for whoever his real employer is in this case, considering the utterly shitty outcome for his client. I wouldn't be surprised if he's doing that for Waid too while making things go right for Marvel.

Hes almost worth a thread of his own. Would have to be written really well though.

It is so well documented that we have to quote him when he is joking. Here I'll quote him when he is seriously talking about his work:

It always struck me as completely silly that World's Finest Comics would have Batman and Superman as pals. Why would these two people like each other? Their complete opposites. A crabby terrorist wouldn't like a good law-abiding soldier. So they don't end up liking each other so much as forming an alliance. Batman up against a very good man, and obviously a very powerful man, completed the circle of who Batman was. That he was anti-establishment. He was not an obedient citizen, and his idea of dealing with crime and corruption was to attack it with full force and ignore the law.

I don't think that if he hated Superman he would have said these things about him or that he would have wanted to work on Superman in 1985.

I too remember "HOLY TERROR: Batman"

He was all about killing some muslims right after 9/11 and was gonna have Bats do the job, so to speak. DC wasn't exactly keen on that idea so he went ahead and changed the main into not-batgirl and published it.

Thinking back, it's amusing how much of a stink it raised when word of the story started going down the pipe cause he was gonna have Bats go after bin laden or some shit.
