Heart Of Random Madness

R.I.P. Donna Michelle… One of the greatest. Died from a heart attack earlier this week.

Bin Laden… One heartless mofo. Way to rub it in the face, my nizzo.

Air America… ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Never understood that radio, like politics, is local.

Icon Imprint launches
Larsen on Icon and the future of Image

I think it’s terrific that Marvel has come to their senses and finally realized that there is value in letting creators actually create. They’ve been dependent on 40 year-old characters for too long and while they’ve yelled from the rooftop that they’re the “house of ideas” — it’s nice to see the possibility of a few new ideas actually getting out there from this publishing giant.

And, in what has become typical Marvel fashion — their first move is NOT to innovate, but to imitate. They’re not creating something new, but are instead taking titles that have been around for years and have stood the test of time, essentially trying to imitate us in the process. As you might expect, I’m less than thrilled that they’re cherry picking from Image. And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned about the future of Brian, Mike and David and their creations. I can’t help but feel this is ultimately an unwise move for these creators, but part of supporting creators’ rights is supporting a creator’s right to choose. These guys feel it’s the thing to do and if a creator does business at Image — they have the freedom to do things like that. We don’t sink our claws into properties or tie people down. Creators are free to make their own choices, even if they’re not choices we agree with.
