>geoff johns leaves dc. >takes all of dc with him
All exclusive to Ghost Machine.
I don't care for any of these guys.
Me too. Maybe Bryan Hitch. But everything i like from him is big2 comics. Did he something else besides Authority or Ultimates? If you cant name anything than you know how “big“ this line-up is.
I cannot tell how happy I am to hear Brad Meltzer is exclusive to this one company. Maybe it last a lifetime so he'll never write anything related to Ralph and Sue Dibny again.
>Geoff, Tomasi and Reis
We will never get another Green Lantern run as good as that one and it hurts.
The Image founders left when they were still stars, most of these people are past their prime
ESPECIALLY Geoff himself
With that said, I sincerely wish them well on this
Not sure how the whole "Everyone's a co-owner" will play out but anything to encourage Marvel/DC capeshitters to branch out is good
>The Image founders left when they were still stars
The Image founders have never written a good story between them.
I meant when they were still incredibly popular for their art
Yes, even Liefeld as much as people talk shit about him
I like Savage Dragon 1-100. It’s shit after that.
Nah. 1-219 are great.
It was never good.
You never read any of it.
I read some of it, and none of that was good.
Well, I disagree.
Nice. Maybe DC will start making good comics again.
Ivan Reis is the biggest one here mostly because of how long he has been DC exclusive
all these guys are ancient. Where's the young blood? Just gonna make the same old boomer comics, nothing exciting.
The Israeli
They have 8 creators who are legitimately popular and they have two no names with Lamont Magee and Maytal Zucht who don't have a comic to their name. Why hire these people?
Friends of them? Maybe they are the people with connections? Family? Husband of a cousin?
I want to know if this is the fact. I cant think that they are exclusive, maybe they just have no time for stuff besides. Or maybe noone wants to hire them anymore?
Probably worked with Johns on DC's live action shows
So, which one of these guys is other Jim?
I doubt anything that great will come out of GM, but what impact it really will have is the damage it deals to DC. Now DC has zero writers left who are even slightly okay. DC is fricked to hell and most likely can never recover. All their remaining writers are middle-aged lesbians and Tom King. That company is fuuuuuuuuucked.
So are they desperate enough to take anyone? I could send them an idea!
If you really want to work at DC, now is the time to try. The bar has to be lower than it's ever been.
They probably still only hire through nepotism and cronyism though.
Mhh, that really sounds tempting. But i guess you are right that they only hire friends of friends.
Do they have a say? It feels like they are not doing their work besides saying which characters they can use and which event comes next.
Considering Nick Spencer legit tried to undo OMD but kept being wienerblocked by editors, yeah I'd say editors hold a lot of power and crap ones are what's wrong with Marvel and DC
Good point. I guess you need to sell it good enough to the editors or let them feel as if it was their idea.
They have an assistant editor job posted right now
Too low for me. I want to write a maxi series!
I dont know. Maybe sent work in? Otherwise i guess they look at social media and friends of employees.
I don't think DC or Marvel accept or even look at submissions from unknowns anymore. It used to be that artists could show their work to editors at conventions and get hired that way, but for writers it seems to have been based on nepotism for decades. Historically most Marvel writers before the 2000s were editors or former editors. For the big 2 in the present, books tend to get offered to the "star writers" on exclusive contracts first, then the editor offers them to his friends in the industry. An editor let slip in an interview a while back that when Bendis was at Marvel and was treated as their top writer, every new book got offered to him first.
Explains how they have arrived where they are now, at the edge of their grave.
Any media company that wants to survive should have a continuous merit-based talent search going on at all times.
How do they even scout talent? I feel like you need to have an agent who contracts them directly
Don't worry. They have Jeremy Adams.
No amount of talent matters is if the editorial behind it is such fricking ass
Peter Tomasi deserves the fires of hell for what he did to Cass Cain.
Anyone that likes Cass Cain deserves the fires of hell.
I will rape you like your dad did.
Thanks for proving my point.
Where's the source for the authors being exclusive? Everyone repeats it while Johns keeps pumping out comics at DC.
>All creators will be exclusive to Ghost Machine for their comics work after completing their already committed to projects.

Thanks.
> Our ambition for Ghost Machine is to push beyond superheroes, introducing new genres, characters and shared universes, completely co-owned by all the creators involved.
And why do they build a company within a company? I guess they just use Image as a service like streamers use Youtube?
And why does this sound as a future problem like the Liefeld drama?
There’s nothing dramatic about Gary Frank.
Gary Frank could honestly do a great horror comic.
Maybe, the way he draws faces is uncanny as hell.
That's exactly why. I honestly thought it was intentional. He and Mahnke seemed like guys that would rather draw sci-fi or horror than superheroes so just made all their DC stuff in the 2000's kind of oddball.
I don't think it's intentional, he's just bad at drawing faces. They all have listless, psycho eyes and smiles that are too toothsome all accentuated with weird wrinkles and creases.
I dont talk only about him. Liefeld was just an example. Besides why did you Liefeld = Frank? Why didnt you put Liefeld = Hitch?
So did Skybound to form a company within a company. But isnt this revolution not just a smaller Image within Image? Like a Matroshka?
> Why didnt you put Liefeld = Hitch?
Why do you?
Explain yourself.
>And why do they build a company within a company?
This isn't new
Devil's Due and IIRC Udon began as Image Imprints
>And why does this sound as a future problem like the Liefeld drama?
Which Liefeld drama? If you mean the Liefeld leaving Image in the 90s drama, that kind of problem is inherent in any shared universe comics involving creator-owned characters. If people leave and take their characters with them, that shared universe will start to fall apart and you have to retcon who killed Spawn.
If you mean the current problem with Liefeld having lost the publishing rights to his own characters, that's a result of making a bad business deal with money men who were investors in one of his companies after Image. If these guys are going to be publishing through Image, they should be able to avoid getting into a situation like that.
>frick the BIG TWO!!! Im going to do my own thing
>anyways here is my GI ROBOT recolor
hahaha ,
The Image guys left at their peak not when they were all washed up
