Zeb stealing Bob's car...

-Brennan’s got a newly designed recap page for Spider-Girl and it looks great. From day one, I’ve tried to give our books better looking recap pages so they weren’t so skip-able. I personally hate huge blocks of text that un-invite me to read the comic and look more like homework. Sometimes it’s unavoidable, but even then, a well-designed page of text doesn’t feel like work to dig through.

-Check found!

-Still have to call Brian Reed with notes on last issue of SI: ASM.

-Anybody remember MARVEL FUN & GAMES? We should do that again.

-Script from Zeb Wells for upcoming issue of Amazing just came in. Nice to have him back for a bit.

-Typing up notes to production for ASM 568 variant. Longer notes than usual, but I want it to be right. Anthony is a champ, though.

-Late in the day usually gets quiet with fast typing click-clacks from all 4 desks. We’re all trying to get as much done as possible. My fingers feel frail as egg shells after today typing binge.

-Getting minivan inspected tonight. Yes, I own a mini-van, but don’t worry I only play hip-hop when I’m riding in it. Thanks for the tip, Axel!

-Cover proof of Captain Marvel Hardcover is in and…awww, man, Rosemann’s back. Loud as Ted Baxter.

-Okay where was I? Got that cover proof for the Capt. Marvel HC. Really proud of how that mini turned out. Working on the character’s connection to SI was one of the first suggestions I made publicly here, so I have a particular fondness.

-Andy Lanning is as all over my pages like Brevoort on a cookie. Another page from Mr. Dependable.

-I invited Zeb to NYC this weekend since he’s not going to con either. He responds immediately:
“I have a very real feeling that that would not help me dry out at all! And how about writing something witty and endearing about me on your Spidey Blog play by play?”

My impression is that only freelancers are reading this today. Hard to tell who’s your friend when you can pay release their checks!

When I was a kid , I used to give my “buddy” Darrell comics if he’d come over to play with me after school. I was quite the only-child chump. Soon I got a new friend who didn’t make me pay! So all hail Del McCormick wherever you are!

-I’ve been asked by talent management to stay late to discuss some scheduling stuff…but I gotta take my mini-van in! What do I do?!?!?!

-Aubrey's birthday is Saturday. I guess my invite is lost. Brennan's going. I always suspected sparks between those two.

-Jeanine just realized I'm doing this today. It's giggly time now that Brevoort is reading too.

-Phil's coming for lunch tomorrow as we discuss his next big top secret Spidey project. This current new-Kraven arc is only a taste of bigger things.

-Jeff Ortiz brings in some scans to Jeanine and check on server access.

-Reed is on phone. Giving him my usual genius notes. He really did a nice job on this. Keep an eye on him, entertainment judgers.

And that's it. My day is done and I still got one final meeting to go to. I'm exhausted from all this, so look for the next Spidey-blog entry in about three years

-Wacker

PS: Fish sleeps with the fishes.

COOL!

It´s great to have Zeb back on ASM and Phil´s new Spidey arc will be amazing, I can´t wait.

I'm really sad about the fish... you got me so emotionally invested in the story!!!

"Razor Fist" needs new arms.
That is out of hand.

I am so wondering, since it was an able change for "edward scissorhands".???

Just some thoughts.

Thanks.

I was also wondering.....
If there is a character named "Sonar" that would possibly be the offspring or in conjunction and similar basic origin and ability of "Dolphin", "Namor", "Namora", "Namorita", "Iceman", "Storm" or other weather and elemental characters.???

Thanx.

Hey wacker, I was just wondering if you read or answer any of these blog responses....i really doubt you do. But here is a question. Will spidey ever get his iron spider suit back. a.k.a The coolest suit ever made.

"Aristaeus"------
May also be known as "Swarm".???

Why don't you guys promote Spider-girl more ?
I don't understand just why will anyone at Marvel could try to promote Spider-girl and her world a little more ?

I mean there is an alterntive Spidey title that does deserve the respect that it deserve after 10 years in the business.

So why Wacker, why can't you guys prmote Spider-girl a little more for it to gain more fans and stay in the business longer?
