FREE COMIC BOOK DAY

J'ai pas mal passé mon deuxième avant-midi à écrire, exorciser le démon Mass Effect dans mon salon. aujourd'hui on est le 2 Mai et c'est l'anniversaire de tout les fans de comics-book, c'est:

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY

plus fort que noel, channukha, et chrismakha combinés !

Et pour l'occasion je pontifie sur le fait que j'ai des boites complètes de comics que je pourrais vraiment donner, mais au lieu de sortir dans les rues et distribuer des comics à tout mes voisins (aliénés ou non) portant un grand sourire et une larme au coin me stigmatisant à jamais comme étant "le weirdo trippeux de comic' de mon coin j'ai décidé de célébrer de la façon la plus preux que je pouvais m'imaginer. J'ai lu des entrevues avec Mark Waid sur Aint it cool news:

Les meilleurs moments de l'entrevue ici :

Sur sa rue de Fantastic Four et la vision de Bill Jemas :
"First off, said Bill, the whole family had to move to the suburbs. Immediately. No explanation necessary. Reed was to be a wacky, scatterbrained inventor who kept coming up with cool stuff (like "waterless fish tanks," whatever those were) that had no commercial applicability, meaning the family was living check-to-check. Ben was working construction. Johnny was a fireman, and--and this is the best one, please sit down for this--Sue was a beleaguered secretary who would go invisible every time her boss was looking for her. No, no, no, not a super-spy; that would make too much sense. No, a secretary. Oh, and their "super-villain arch-enemy" was the suspicious neighbor next door who thought there was something weird about these people. Gladys Kravitz."

et cette petite pièces de révélation miraculeuse sur Mr. DiDio :

"The biggest challenge was actually, wisely, kept from us by Steve. EIC Dan Didio, who first championed the concept, hated what we were doing. H-A-T-E-D 52. Would storm up and down the halls telling everyone how much he hated it. And Steve, God bless him, kept us out of the loop on that particular drama. Siglain, having less seniority, was less able to do so, and there's one issue of 52 near the end that was written almost totally by Dan and Keith Giffen because none of the writers could plot it to Dan's satisfaction. Which was and is his prerogative as EIC, but man, there's little more demoralizing than taking the ball down to the one-yard line and then being benched by the guy who kept referring to COUNTDOWN as "52 done right."
