Just thinking about this today-

Amazing Spider-Man hasn't had much significant creative change since 2008, with most of the writers still being BND guys.

That would be the equivalent of Stan Lee still writing ASM *in the 80s.*

Superman won a Harvey Award for best comic adaptation at New York Comic Con! The award is named after and inspired by the great Harvey Kurtzman, who revolutionized comics and left the world a better – and much wittier place than he found it. Thanks to everyone at the Harvey Awards for this honor!

It's yet another example of what a spoiled, entitled narcissist Slott is, and if it was a just world the fact that he is *openly* sh*tting on other creators talking about the realities of how poorly they are paid would have *instantly* ended his joke of a "career."

Somehow Dan managed to con his way into a career where he can get the company to get other people to finish his stories for him as well as throw him a 20 issue comic to keep him paid while he heads over to work for their competition. But most creators don't get that level of favoritism.

Was just reminded of this the other day, and once again I would like to deliver a hearty "FUCK YOU" to Dan Slott over this smug, elitist attitude that dismisses the very real concerns creators have over not being properly compensated for their ideas that make others billions.

rdmacq.bsky.social @rdmacq.bsky.social · Aug 17

Yeah, all those stupid creators whining about how they're not getting paid properly for work. They should just be happy for the credit.

What does Peter David have to be upset about?

Sorry, what *did* he have to be upset about?

Since- y'know- he can't be reached for comment anymore...

Yeah, I'm *really* sure the guy who boasts about cheating others and who has other people finish his stories for him while taking all the credit and downplaying their contribution would turn up his nose at a robot that does his job for him.

And I'm just going to say this- I *really* wouldn't be surprised if Slott supported AI, or if he has just not used it himself.

He and Brevoort are cut from the same cloth, and if Tom thinks AI "art" is "nifty" then I can see Slott feeling the same way.

Kinda obvious now that the DC/Marvel crossover was probably all DCs idea and Marvel probably needed their arm twisted to do it lmao

“Ultimately, there is no debating that "One More Day" is the greatest misfire in Spider-Man's sixty-three years of comic book appearances.”

Another day, another article calling out OMD as a mistake.

Keep the pressure up, folks!

Ultimate Spider-Man #21 is out this Wednesday! My expectations are raised every issue, so I anticipate this one will be revelatory as well!

Best Spidey book on the market. Support good books and good creators!

“One More Day is Spider-Man’s worst story. [It] will never get re-evaluated, as some bad stories do in the future, because of the damage done to the Spider-Man comics by it.”

So long as fans speak out and vote with their wallets, things CAN get better.

Hitting comic shops one week from tomorrow! Words by me, interior art by Pere Pérez. A story about Peter, Harry, Gwen and MJ during their time at Empire State University, with a ridiculously dangerous addition to Spider-Man's Rogue's Gallery.

@jmdematteis.bsky.social AND @straczynski.bsky.social both with a Spider-Man comic releasing this week is spoiling me. Both are considered two of the finest writers of their craft, and I'm excited to see what both have to offer.

As should ANY fan of fun and interesting comics!

A TON of editorials have been slamming “One More Day” lately and saying Spider-Man benefits from growth and even marriage.

Absolute Batman and Superman are overated Batman is hyper focused on the worst parts of Batman and Superman doesn't inspire anyone.

ASM by Kelly is just barely better than Wells but the Wells being the worst ever makes it seem better than it is.

Kelly Thompson is the best in comics right now.

Brevoort also teased that Rogue and Gambit’s marriage is safe—for now. “They’ll stay together,” he assured, “but we won’t necessarily make it easy for them.”

No one wants this.

Made sure to get a juice box before reading this time!

#Spider-Man’94 continues with an excellent second issue full of exploding bananas and a good bit of heart.

Excited to see where @jmdematteis.bsky.social takes Peter over the next few issues. Are we going full Clone Saga?!
