    Salvador Larroca decided to trash the colorist for his pencils on Uncanny X-Men, Rachelle Rosenberg, on his Facebook:
    “My editor already showed these (pages) with a horrible colour, I prefer to show them in black and white, which I prefer indefinitely more. A publisher such as Marvel with so terrible colorists… A woman, in this case.”

    (Translated from Spanish)

    He later edited out the statement about Rosenberg being a woman, which is pretty telling.

    Super professional from the dude that has been tracing Star Wars screen caps for the past 3 years.

    It amazes me that on the one hand, Marvel has some amazing creators with multiple books that I should legitimately be excited about....

    But on the other hand, editorial/management and other creators are bags of crap that make Marvel this huge trash fire that doesn't seem like it will go out any time soon.

    I'm just so tired of it. My enthusiasm for comics has dropped so much that I can't even just focus on the good stuff anymore.

    Is there like, a background for the heavy emphasis on there being a cat in the Captain Marvel marketing?

    Carol prominantly having a cat has been a thing since she became Captain Marvel.
    it winds up being an alien cat monster, somehow, but there you go.

    Without the "a woman, in this case", I would have said "What a shitty move". As it is, I'll skip straight to "What a shitty person".

    Like, if Larroca really hated the colors, he could have literally just said nothing and posted his pencils and come out of it looking like a champ.

    Marvel's continued fuckups take the sting out canceling all my subscriptions, that's for sure.

  • Options
    BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    To be fair this is less a Marvel fuck-up and more Larroca being a shitbag

    Now if Marvel doesn't have any sort of response to this (which there is a VERY GOOD CHANCE they won't) then it is Marvel fuck-up

    You would think they will do a response, if just because it isn’t good to have one employee trash another in public like that.

    They won't, because a bunch of bots run by alt-right dirtbags would roast them for it.

    I'm curious, what would be the proper response in a scenario like this? Publicly announcing support for the badmouthed colorist? Publicly denouncing the statement of the penciller with the bad mouth? Flat-out firing Larroca? Laying out a code of behavior that includes not trashing co-workers?

    At the very least, admonishing Larroca for dealing with an internal issue by bitching on the internet about it.

    It'd likely be internal and we'll never know unless someone in the know says so.

    Marvel announced the obligatory Event Anthology tie-in for War of the Realms, War Scrolls.

    This time, however, the lead story is written by Jason Aaron himself (starring Daredevil who has been granted Heimdall's sight) with Andrea Sorrentino on art, and the first issue will have a Howard the Duck reunion from Zdarsky and Quinones

    Yeah War of the Realms is the first Marvel event I'm interested in since...Secret Wars?

  • Options
    BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    It is the only one they've done since Secret Wars that feels like they actually put in any effort in making it feel like a naturally occuring storyline

    Funny how that happens when you give a writer 8 years to build up to a big story

    Did Best Defense count as an event? I quite liked that one (then again, with 5 issues total, it could also be seen as a single mini done by a ton of creators).

    Not really, it was really more of a mini as you said

    It was a weirdly structured one but 5 one-shots that all bleed into each other ain't really an event

    She got the cat in her 2006 solo. She found it in a burning building while fighting a wizard.

    How do you feel about pinball wizards, Rorshach?

    Unrelated, how do you feel about SWAT Kats?

    SWAT Kats is absolutely one of the supporting pillars that my entire childhood is built on.

    I love that show.

    It was one of the first original cartoons on Cartoon Network!

    At least, I think it was one of their original cartoons.

    I think he easily has the best rogues gallery of any superhero. I know people are fond of Batman's, but Spidey has a good variety, and a pretty deep bench. And Green Goblin and Doc Ock are as good as you're gonna get for archvillains
