: So while ultimately, I agree with Larson's statement
: about how it would have been cooler if Marvel invented
: some NEW creator owned titles to launch their imprint
: instead of "cherry picking" the best from
: Image, it's good to hear that the format won't suffer
: because of it. I breathed a huge sigh of relief after
: reading that it won't have ads, and will have a huge
: letter column. (Though I still think Kabuki could be
: even better by being published oversized with matt
: finish cardstock covers and really thick glossy
: paper.)
: Though, I'm sure I'm not alone by thinking Kabuki might
: lose something by becoming more
: "mainstream"...like when you've listened to
: a band for years and then you see them on TRL or your
: parents start listening to them or something. I dunno,
: that's probably a stretch, but I just hate to think of
: Kabuki, one of my favorite comics ever, as just
: another "Marvel" book.
: But that's me.
Ha Ha!
I promise you that no one is going to consider Kabuki "another Marvel Book"
It is soooo not mainstream. And it doesn't look like any other book on the market. Let alone any other at Marvel
Thanks Adam. These are still our books. Our ads, our letters, our design, our content, our own personal nonsense.
This isn't TRL. That would be when there is an article about us in Wizard or when we stop by to do a radio or tv interview.
This is like a film being distributed by Newline instead of Universal.
It still gets to the theaters. Have you ever not seen a film because it was distributed by Universal? Does anyone say, "I only see films distributed by NewLine" ?
You have to admit, that is ridiculous. Do you not buy music from a band when it leaves Giffen and becomes distributed by Sony?
That's silly. All you care about is if the CD is good or not, or something you want to listen to.
