I loved the Death's Head reference in Lost Light recently. Made me really happy. I'd love to see Death's Head and ROM swap companies.

I wonder how Rom would go fitting in with Marvels "outer space" branch. Nova Corps are currently in a rebuilding phase, the Raptors are currently running wild, the Kree are just starting to find their feet again, the Skrulls are basically irrelevant, Thanos is doing his ... thing. Rom (and by extension the Spaceknights) might be able to fit in there somewhere.
Otherwise just dump him with the Guardians, they need a fresh team look (which probably won't happen until after GotG3)

Cool ... cool ...
I feel like Ryall could tell the Rom story he's probably always wanted to at Marvel. I'm sure he did as much of it as he could at IDW but he's such a huge fan of the original run that intuition tells me there's more he'd have liked to do.Seibertron wrote:Va'al wrote:Also, as the news broke, I commented on it by claiming it was all ScottyP's fault.

Weeks after Chris Ryall stepped down from the position, Heat Vision has learned that John Barber has been named editor in chief of San Diego-based comic company IDW Publishing. His appointment coincides with the news that Anita Frazier has joined the publisher as senior vice president of sales and marketing.
[...]
Barber, previously group editor of Hasbro properties at IDW, entered the comic book industry as a self-published creator in the late 1990s, before joining Marvel editorial in 2004, working on the Ultimate Comics imprint as well as Marvel’s X-Men line and the first Dark Tower comic books. He joined IDW as a writer for its Transformers line before becoming a senior editor at the company, a position he eventually left in favor of freelance writing, working on IDW’s Transformers vs. G.I. Joe and Back to the Future titles in addition to a number of titles for Marvel.
“To me, the title of editor in chief has a resonance — and a legacy — in comics,” Barber told Heat Vision. “It's something to live up to, a position I find pretty inspiring. So I don't know if I can really express my excitement at being back at IDW in this new role. As editor in chief, I'm in a position to help guide the company into a new era, working with our creators and our partners to make the best comics out there. IDW has some of the biggest and most fun properties in pop culture under our publishing umbrella, and I think some of the stuff we already have planned for the future will spin some heads. The comics world is constantly changing, and IDW's always changed with the times — keeping its core values and looking toward tomorrow. And being right in the thick of that is just where I want to be.”
That was two years ago and the job he just took on now was occupied by Ryall at the time. How is that strange?partholon wrote:didnt barber quit his job as group editor to concentrate on the writing ?
VERY strange move.

Yeah it’s not that strange. What was strange was him being he editor and the writer. That’s always been taboo or at least with Marvel and DC. They don’t let editors write the books they oversee or didn’t use to. I know marvel hated that Marvel UK was letting Furman write books when he was also the editor of them. IDW has always been lenient on it though

He also never edited his own books. So while he wa soverseeing things and editing MTMTE and Windblade, exRID was edited by Carlos Guzman. That tends to happen in most cases at IDW, or at the very least it did with Rom (since David Hedgecock edited that book).

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!
I say this as nicely as possible: the entirety of the board's readership knows you don't like Roberts and I think by bringing this up constantly it makes the other content in your posts get lost and the other points in them get diminished. I don't want to skim over your stuff but man, it has gotten repetitive and personally it is not-quite-but-borderline white noise.Rodimus Prime wrote:This is good news.

I haven't done it that much. But I get your point. I'm not saying I'm changing my mind, but with him leaving, it does make it easier.ScottyP wrote:I say this as nicely as possible: the entirety of the board's readership knows you don't like Roberts and I think by bringing this up constantly it makes the other content in your posts get lost and the other points in them get diminished.

You used to explain your reasoning and made it clear it was your opinion. You never lashed out at other users for liking him and his work. Does people liking Roberts work bug you? If so, why? In a world where people can say with a straight face that they enjoyed the twilight books and the fifty shades series (and all knock offs) I've made peace with the fact that there's people who enjoy the writers I don't like.
Also I was under the impression that a whole new creative team were coming together for this interpretation (obviously now under the watchful eye of barber so some elements may return, if he felt they added to the mythos)
