Robert Kirkman and ME in the New York Times
Look, there's been a lot of coverage already of this morning's announcement in the NY Times about Robert Kirkman's appointment as a partner at Image Comics. However, they seem to be missing the most important point... I was quoted in the article as if I'm some sort of expert:The founders, including Erik Larsen, Jim Lee and Jim Valentino, were likened to rock stars by Alexander Zalben, a regular reviewer of comics on PulpSecret.com as well as the host of the onstage New York talk show “Comic Book Club.” “You weren’t reading Spawn, you were reading Todd McFarlane’s Spawn and Rob Liefeld’s Youngblood,” Mr. Zalben said in an e-mail message.
Today the company is still “the Marvel-DC alternative, with books like Invincible, but they’re more about offering high-quality comics by up-and-coming creators that offer an alternative to the mainstream,” Mr. Zalben wrote.
The Beat. Newsarama. Please report the REAL stories, not just idle gossip about some... Writer.
Ah, so the real news here is really that you got your name in the paper? :)
