Before I get a flood of Messages asking if I really do work at Marvel, let me just make this topic saying yes. Yes I do.

If you need to ask a question, just submit it here.


I will NOT be answering questions on the following subjects

No spoilers, if it is not posted on the Marvel site, I shall not talk about it.

Employment, I'm sorry but I cannot get you a job at Marvel, nor could I recommend you.

Don't wanna here anything involving Marvel sucks, DC rulz.. Its immature.
Alright then that should be it.

Ask away I suppose.. Though I'm sure Im gonna regret this somehow.. sweatdrop

Depends on who they have available, and if you're fortunate enough to get a

and to your other question:

It took me awhile to get hired, and I summited a portfolio of art and writing. They hired me as a writer. It could take days to years to get noticed. Took me a little over a year.

Who's brainchild is the Romulus character that's been in the Wolverine comics recently? Also not askin' for spoilers but are there any really big Wolverine storys on the horizon? Just a yes or no for that question will suffice.

Also you got any inside info on the Marvel/Disney thing that can put skeptics at ease about the whole thing?

Jeph Loeb and Simone Bianchi write the Origins series, I'd figure they each share in the creation of Romulus respectively..

As far as stories go, I recommend keeping with New Avengers, Origins and the X-men series (Legacy) not quite a yes or a no per-say, but...
(No this isn't a chance for me to sell my work as I write mostly the Venom (Gargan) character)

To answer your other question, if Disney is going to affect Marvel, in anyway it would be years to come (Unless Fox stops making movies, and loses the rights to them)

The comics for the most part will remain unaffected, in a few years from now who knows. If Disney was smart, they'd just leave the comics to the Marvel side much similar to how DC while owned by Warner Bros. is left alone by WB. Any NEW games in production will more than likely have Disney's logo along with Marvel.

are there any character deaths coming up in the next year that'll really shake ground in the marvel U? just a yes or no will suffice?

and, aside from sales, from an industry perspective, are there any reasons you can think of that would cause a series for b list characters like moon knight, ironfist, etc, to get canceled even when they have great creative teams behind them?

and is there any chance of seeing any more titles come out along the lines of the recent Shang Chi: Master of Kung Fu super issue with other characters? cause that was a fun read.

Love the name, the cosplay.... Not so much XD rofl rofl

Didn't Ms. Marvel die, but not really cause she came back even though it didn't appear that she died in the other comics aside from her own? Ha ha! I kid, but to answer your question... Doesn't someone die in every big event? wink

Lack of interest maybe? It really is based on sales and what's popular. I know that Moon knight got relaunched with Vengeance of the Moon Knight, and you've got the Immortal Weapons series for Iron Fist...

No comment... *see my first rule*

Is working at Marvel fun? I know a friend that might be thinking about doing something similar; so I wanted to get a sort of "review" of how things were so I could let her knew.

If you feel like telling me, that is. If you don't want to or can't don't worry about it. xD

I think Dead Pool is probably one of the most popular characters. Considering he's getting his own spin off now just from being in Origins for about ten seconds, lol.
