Either they disagree with me for stupid reasons, or (kind of) worse, they "agree" with me for nonsensical reasons that make me question if we're even speaking the same language, let alone liking the same things. It's like, you'd think nerds wouldn't be such awful people, but a lot of 'em really are.

I agree, in fact the other most frequent community I go to outright bans all this drama in their comic book threads under the mantra that we should all just enjoy the stories we like and not step on the toes of anyone who fancies this or that, which I agree with. Conversations there are healthier than they were when they started.

You seriously got under that guy's skin...

Is it normal for a professional writer in the comic book industry to come to forums and insult people or take jabs at them like a normal forum go-er? Usually most writers I've seen on forums are either generally nice or don't interact with forums much at all. But if you didn't know that was Dan Slott his posts felt interchangeable with any other forum go-er.

Writers are people, too... which means that some of them potentially are jerks and make poor decisions.

It's becoming a recurrence with Marvel's top brass on social media. Quesada and Brevroot do it too, though not as obsessively as Slott. This man has constantly posted "farewell" messages and vows to steer clear of internet drama, but is always, without fail, compelled to constantly return to the scene and try to set the record straight on misrepresentations and misinterpretations, which is well within his right if it helps clear the air, but he can afford to be the better man out of the two of us and do all that without the snark and bait. He never takes that option. Most times? Neither do I. And we both come off looking petty. I can admit to that. Will Slott? Hardly likely.

Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz, Spider-Girl's creators, on the other hand, are refreshingly pleasant to interact with online.

"Never meet your heroes..." Because they're usually just the worst kind of people.

What the f*ck does that even mean? So things will just change and characters won't acknowledge anything because SW is a reboot or what about battleworld? Does NYC exist on battleworld? Does Renew Your Vows take place in 616?

This event confuses me to no end.

And Leo656, Slott is no hero. He's a f*cking monster.

I do find it a bit ironic he said "noone except Stan", and Stan's current work still happens to involve a married Spidey.

No, I haven't, but now-a-days, I generally steer clear of Marvel's site or other comic sites, as the news is just too depressing concerning my fave Marvel characters. And yeah, that WAS a slap in the face.

Makes me wish JMS was still on the ASM book, or would come back and "fix" it. I'm sure he could do a decent job of unraveling the knotty mess they made of it, but I doubt he'd do it now. Seems JQ's decisions left a bad taste in JMS's mouth, and I don't blame him for that.

Several NYCs exist on Battleworld it seems. The ones for 616 and the Ultimate universe will even share the same island.

So it's possible Renew Your Vows Peter run could into Miguel or 616 Peter? If so, this probably takes place BEFORE Secret Wars, or whenever 616 and the other universes collide.

At best the first issue or so is probably set before SW, but it is supposed to eventually take place in a part of Battleworld called the "Regency", named after the unknown "Regent"

[ZariusTwo]

It's now been confirmed that Miles Morales will be part of the new Avengers roster post-Secret Wars. Where is Peter? Who knows.

[ZariusTwo]

Oh my god Dan. Any time someone new comes to a place you dwell on that thinks you're a half-assing load of wank, you think it's me?

Am I really in the same esteemed company as RDMaQ and Doug Ernst are with you these days? Hilarity.

[Leo656]

What a f*ckin' nerd.

Not you, him. This guy works for a corporation, and it's clear that you occupy a big place in his mind.

That's pathetic. Dude needs some 'tang.

He lets a lot of online dwellers get to him, it truly is a marvel how he even finds the time to write books when he's spending a lot of his time going to these hives and trying to make them his own personal echo chamber

[Leo656]

Honestly, whenever I meet someone who's "actually" famous, they usually say they're almost never online because they don't have time. Makes sense. Successful people don't have time to Twitter their Facespace or whatever. They're busy doing stuff.

[CyberCubed]

I really don't understand why Dan Slott browses message boards just to retaliate at people. I've literally never seen any other comic book writer actually do this.

Most of the time people in the industry get bored of forums very quickly or leave after a short time. This guy feels like he has a vendetta and an axe to grind. He actually reminds me of a lot of regular angry posters on various forums over the years who can't take a hint or know when to quit.

Is that Miles I see in the upper left corner~?

aww the kid is cute ^_^

[ZariusTwo]

Can I just stress again how much more of a hardass newspaper strip Mary Jane is? The last few days have seen her insist she team with her husband and Black Widow to track down Hobgoblin and kick his tail, she refuses to be babysat by Natasha. Marvel could stand to take notes from how Stan and his team handle the Parkers in their world.
