This channel should be called DC Comic Culture Warrior. This is no different than the Superman/Siegel lawsuit that you didnt even mention.

[comicculturewarrior]

Yeah....and? Where do we say what DC did then is any better than what Marvel is doing now?

"DC Comic Culture Warrior"?

That's pretty clever. You could probably get a gig writing New Avengers with wit like that.

hey Elliott, you shouldn't do that whining voice anymore, it's annoying and so wrong. but other then that, i like the show.

[comicculturewarrior]

Annoying and so wrong? Just like the fanboys who complain about the Kirby Estate? Guess I did my job! Oh yeah, the whiny fanboy voice isn't going anywhere! IT'S HERE TO STAY! LOL!

But thanks for the advice.

Great Video, guys but have to add that you guys didn't touch upon the Marvel trade promotion for a Deadpool variant. It's not the same to read it as it is to hear Jose rip it to shreds in a video. Keep up the good work.

[comicculturewarrior]

We will get to talking about that promotion in a couple of videos.

'All you guys ever do is trash Bendis's works'!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, baby mode change tooooo a-hole mode, your trashing of Bendis's newer works and the stupidity of some idiots on the net is why I love your vids, lol my only tiff is how do you guys hit the nail on the head almost every time!? I can't even bitch in private without you guys posting up a similar rant on the net, except your rants a lot more eloquent... STOP IT! (Baby mode re-activated)

Hey guys, have you considered attaching a forum to your blog?

It is a shame how mercenary the publishing world is, the mainstream publishing world, I think it is a necessity born out of the fact that print media in general is in a scary place today with the advent of the internet. During my brief stint at a comic company which shall remain nameless, the atmosphere was so charged I could have lit a match and the entire island would have gone up.

I meant the current situation between Marvel and the Kirby estate in the above post.

[Morlock50]

The final solution? Yeesh! How'd that get past the editors?

[Morlock50]

The topic was about the current situation between Marvel and DC; not the history of comic companies acting like dicks.  If DC were currently doing that to the Siegel estate, the guys would have called bullshit just as loudly.

@comicculturewarrior Didn't DC/Siegel & Shuster thing get settled in 1978?
