Did you screencap it? Huh? Huh?
Also, why is Dan Slott tweeting instead of writing more Silver Surfer?
It's a conspiracy of clone proportions or something. Don't worry, Silver Surfer will be dead no more.

Remember my batgirl thread that was started over 2 tweets and 2 cbr comments lol. People were banned over that shit.

What's that even mean? It reads like it's supposed to be a slam, but I don't get it.

I don't want it to be dead at all.
I guess..... he's trying to say our opinions don't matter? Or something? Who can know the mind of Slott?
Is he mad?

Message Board?
What did we do to him
This is like that time David LaFuente blocked me on Twitter and I have no idea why. I randomly went to tweet him some praise and he already had me blocked lol
We were making a bit of fun of him the other day, and he obsessively googles himself.

Well, this was where the Civil War II spoilers got posted first.
EDIT: Speaking of, did anyone read Axel's interview where he briefly touched on spoilers/leaks?
Gaf is fairly big no?
For comics?

I like Dan Slott.

He doesn't seem like a bad dude, but he lets Rich Johnston get under his skin way too much.
This. I don't think this is about us. More OT and Civil War spoilers related. He hates early comic spoilers.

Like ten years ago, I got second place in that "Pull My Thing" campaign he ran to try to drum up support for his Thing series when it was facing cancelation. He sent signed books and stuff. Cool dude.
Looking back, that was probably not ethical, since I was reviewing for IGN at the time.

It's okay, there's no "IGN" in the word "ethical."

Axel Alonso: "I hate when people spoil our stories, except for when we spoil our stories. Then it's great."
I'm trade waiting...hoping for a trade, anyway. :-(

A lot of people have come and gone from their comics site, and I haven't had any involvement since 2008, so I can't speak for most of them from the current group. But Jesse Schedeen is still there there from my time, and he's a good dude.
There was a guy that worked for their comics site a little after my time, named Dan Phillips, and he straight-up told me that he wasn't even watching the TV shows he was reviewing.

Putting everything up on Scribd is a fairly brilliant way to get me to read all of it in the next thirty days for free. Always consumer minded, those Valiant folks. Why did they go under again?
X-O Manowar issue #9, here we go.
A lot of those sites spread misinformation and post stuff out of context so it makes sense.

Slott sounds like a regular Ryan Steggman. I mean all I did was show genuine concern for his well being last year and he and his friends attacked me for no reason whatsoever.

I can see his perspective, but there's no winning that fight.
When the Civil War II #3 spoilers hit the internet, there was a lot of context missing that informed the way people took the news. In a case like that, where a plot development is clearly going to be "a thing", I think what Marvel tries to do is embrace the inevitability of it and get out ahead of it in a way that does a better job of contextualizing the spoilers than the cynical a-hole leakers do.
But the problem there is that internet people aren't sitting there and reading these articles Marvel supports, and they aren't absorbing that additional context. No matter what into Marvel puts out there, the reaction is going to be knee-jerk dismissal or outrage based on headlines and hearsay. There is no avoiding that.

Why can't comic characters be powerful and sexy?
Yeah. I like his comic writing, though.

Objectified =/= sexy
You can make a character physically appealing without objectifying them. I actually think that that PG sketch is not a bad example, despite the roughness.

They can be. But sexy and sexualized aren't necessarily the same thing.
Jessica Drew drawn by Javier Rodriguez is the sexiest thing in any comic ever, but never sexualized.
Those Zenescope comics are sexualized, but not sexy at all.
Yanick Paquette Catwoman from Batman Inc. is sexualized and sexy.
Plus, context matters.
If it's a pin-up, sex it up all you want, and I don't think it matters if it's necessarily appropriate to the character or l not. I love that stuff. Some of my favorite art.
But if I'm reading a somber issue of New Avengers from the Bendis area, where Carol Danvers is standing at a funeral with her ass hanging out of her Ms. Marvel costume, and the panel composition is focused on that, that's fucking stupid.
People have already said it better, but a character can be drawn as powerful and still be sexy. There's a huge difference between being portrayed as sexy and being portrayed as an object.

I think what he means is that sure, 4chan and NeoGAF are host to plot spoilers, but those sites don't have their topics sourced like articles on BLEEDING COOL RICH JOHNSTON YOU ASSHOLE AAAAAAHHHHHHHH
