Authority #3 never coming out

[ProjectX2]

From Gene Ha himself:

"First off, I don't think The Authority #3 by Grant Morrison and Gene Ha is ever coming out. Grant is busy redesigning the DC Universe and I've moved onto new projects. Most importantly, it seems that editor Scott Dunbier has been forced out of Wildstorm. There is no #3 script, there may never be a #3 script."

**** you, Grant Morrison. You said you'd revamp the Wildstorm Universe and I'm still waiting. Also, **** you, DC. You kicked out Scott Dunbier who was probably the best thing Wildstorm's had.

This has been a big mess and a waste of ****ing time.

[Fuzzy Birds]

Couldn't help but laugh when I read this. It's really quite amusing how nobody seems able to stick to a schedule anymore. Quite laughable. Well, at least, if I didn't laugh at it I would just be shaking my head in disappointment so.... haha...ha.

Sigh.

[thee great one]

BOOOOO!

[Victor Von Doom]

What.....The.....****?

That is ****ing weaksauce. There are so many people that could've take the current story and ran with the ball. Even with delays, we could've had at least 6 issues by now.

Hell---I'm certain that Proj, Moony and myself could've brought you all a kick *** Authority story with the premise Morrison has given us.

**** you DC for letting this happen. I figured you all would've learned your lesson after AS Batman and Marvel's Ultimate Wolverine/Hulk mini. Boooo.

[Ninja4peace]

What annoys me is that Morrison is "revamping the DC Universe" ..like that didn't just happen...and like he's only writing one book in continuity (Batman), but he's (should be) writing 2 books for Wildstorm.

He's written Batman before with gothic and arkham asylum. I want to see Morrison write Grifter and Characters we haven't seen him with before, we know whatever he writes is gonna be good.

And my comic book guy wonders why I'm moving more to manga, and away from american ****.

[Ninja4peace]

You reckon Morrison couldn't think of a good enough reason for Grifter to be hopping dimensions into Ultimates 3

****ing pathetic. Marvel was screwing up all its schedules a year ago, and now DC is.

They really do like taking everything in turn.

Except crossovers. Those they'll release together and as often as possible.

You and many others. I haven't been to my LCS in three weeks, and I probably have two issues in my pull box. My pull list is so ****ing low these days.

And Kevin Smith will never finish Daredevil: Target.

You realize of course, that this puts Grant Morrison on the level of Kevin Smith, right? :twisted:

...

No I'm never ever dropping the Kevin Smith thing.

...

Also, I haven't picked up the rest of my Stormwatch: PHD pull, but does this mean the entire Wildstorm line is on hold?

Looks like there is a Wildstorm event in the near future, not sure how this'll effect it.

They'll probably just ignore Morrison's issues. Gage is a great fit for the Wildstorm Universe anyway, I'm looking forward to his stuff more than the Morrison books after the less than stellar first issues he gave us.

I disliked #1, but really enjoyed #2...

What is the Kevin Smith thing?

What is the Kevin Smith thing?After having Bullseye kill Karen Page, Kevin Smith was supposed to write his sign-off to his work on Daredevil via a definitively definite series to definitely settle the definite score between Daredevil and Bullseye.

This series was to be called Daredevil/Bullseye: The Target and would last four issues. Because Brian Michael Bendis was writing Daredevil at the time, Joey Q rendered Bullseye off-limits to anyone but Smith.

The first issue of The Target was released in November 2002. In 2005, Smith posted art for the second issue (now by Kubert) on his Askewniverse board.

Five years later, and there is still no second issue.

[Bass]

OK - that I knew, but why are you so hung up about it? Bullseye showed up during Bendis' run on DAREDEVIL.

The fact it's been delayed for 5 years (did they ever say it was cancelled?)

But either way it would just be retcon

OK - that I knew, but why are you so hung up about it? Bullseye showed up during Bendis' run on DAREDEVIL.I don't care much about THAT, actually. From what I understand that was basically, "OK, Kevin's never ever gonna finish that --- and even if he did, we'd be able to bring Bullseye out again by the time he does --- so yeah Brian have fun."

What I'm hung up about most is that they've never formally cancelled it. I'm hung up about it because they spent five years dodging and ducking instead of just saying "CANCELLED."

In short, I really couldn't care one way or the other about the comic itself... My breath was never baited nor did I find the story remarkable to any degree, just that it has been the most egregious case of unprofessionalism I can remember.

[E]

Wow. Pathetic.

[Ninja4peace]

THere was an interview with Smith, by Bendis I believe in Wizard last month. I was amazed how much Smith seemed to suck up to Bendis. It annoys me that the script is done just sitting in a door, and smith is just saying, it's an old story it's outdated, even tho I would still like to see some of the fallout from Karen's murder.

I would like to see some quotes from that.

"How many years will there be in between Daredevil: The Target issues?"

"37."

"37?!"

The pages are scanned in here.

Smith: There is no way to follow some of the stuff you did on that book
Bendis: The brubaker stuff is pretty good, you should check it out.
Smith: but what's the point?....Do I want to follow what you guys did? Sh-- no, people would just be like "Well this ain't as good as bendis's stuff" and they would be right you did some wonderful things with that book.

Either Smith's brownnosing loads or Bendis has edited the interview in a clever way. Either way it's not what I expected the interview to read like

[Joe Kalicki]

I thought Smith was pissed at Bendis about something or other.

[ourchair]

I thought Smith was pissed at Bendis about something or other.It actually sounds like he's trying to absolve himself for not finishing it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's making excuses.

It just seems to me that Smith saying all that out loud is his way of saying trying to attach some sort of resignation to the whole ordeal, to his own work ethic as if those two things are beyond his control, rather than be actually personally accountable. It's like he's being contrite, but not.


I had a very laissez faire attitude about it because Ias a comic book reader was not one of those dudes that got really uptight if a book as late, because books come out every week. If a book that I'm reading doesn't hit the week that it's supposed to come out, I've got other **** to read, but that's not the attitude that ... you should really want for yourself as a comic book author.I find this faintly hilarious, if only because this is almost word for word the same reasoning he used to defend his tardiness, only when he said it three years ago, he also said "I don't understand what the big deal is!"

Of course, now he's reiterating this in a CONTRITE manner.

THat's from 2 months ago, but it at least means we're gonna get some Authority. I don't think I've read anything by gage, except maybe a midnighter issue. What do people think about all this? The armageddon really doesn't sound like anything too new (I know he says it's Days of Future past inspired but I really don't think that makes it ok) and why did they call it armaggedon when that was the last WS event... but the authority vs. stormwatch could be, I actually prefer the premise here to the whole of Marvel Civil War.

EDIT: Actually that's not true I liked the premise of civil war, just not the execution

The Smith/Bendis interview gave me the Rage. The continual feeling of that interview was 'writing comics is a fun hobby'.

Gage is very solid. He's done some DC work with Deathstroke of all characters (doneit well too. He's the only modern writer I'm happy with writing him) and his Wildstorm work is even better. He's got a great handle on the universe.

He's a hell of a nice guy too. I've got some signed comics he sent me as a thank you for giving out some Stormwatch PHD issues to try and get people on board.

I would count, if I got the series. But I don't, so I'm safe.

Oh god we're not starting UC: Zombies are we? Cause there's no way I'm redoing cartoons to have zombie counter parts... all though I could conceivably do that... but no.

Guys, guess what?

I'm going to write UC: Zombies soon

It's going to parallel Retar-dead!

Joe Kalicki will be the main zombie
