The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[The Bass]

I'm not really a fan of Kirkman, and even less so of Loeb's recent work.

I stopped there, sorry. I'm sure there are fifty other threads here where you can bash Loeb, but I like his stuff. Any week I get Ed McGuinness drawing giant guys punching each other is a good week for comics.

Loeb is a fat fuck and his writing sucks

And here we have the ultimate problem: the OP is only selective in his reading ability.

No wonder your an idoit!

You like Loeb's work!

You wouldn't know good work if I came up and slapped you.

But seriously, I remember at the Rama people getting warned and banned for personal attacks. I know this isn't the Rama, but I'm surprised the mods let this go on here.

The ironing is delicious.

So when Kirkman says that Loeb could do it at Icon (which is Marvel) how exactly is he forcing Loeb to leave Marvel?

Tell the truth Bass, did you even read what you are bitching about?

We don't. I'd appreciate it if we stopped the name-calling of fellow posters please.

Can't you read? Kirkman being asked what writer he'd like to see on a creator-owned book and him replying Loeb means he is literally trying to force Loeb to work for Image and not get paid for it.

At gunpoint!

oh, I guess I failed to see the slippery slope as I walked across the rope bridge that Robot 6 and Kirkman so thoughtfully provided me.

[Rockman]

Loeb leaving Marvel? I do not see a problem with that.

Seriously though someone posted a video with Kirkman rambling on for like ten minutes in another thread, he comes across as a pretty arrogant naive person.

Except when he said "He could even write it at ICON." Y'know, Marvel's creator-owned line?

In reference to the challenge Kirkman made to Todd McFarlane a few years ago to start drawing again, which resulted in the comic Haunt, Atomic Comics asked Kirkman if there were any other creators out there who he wanted to "challenge to push their limits." Kirkman responded:

What’s that Bendis guy done lately? All kidding aside, I’d love to see Jeph Loeb try his hand at an original creator-owned book. Millar has proven that when top-flight talent take the plunge it has the potential for massive success, and Loeb does the most commercial books out there with only the highest caliber of artists. I’d buy a creator-owned book by him in droves and I know he would excel at it. But sadly, I think he’s too comfortable on that fat corporate teat. Still, I hold out hope. Don’t you know that guy, Malve? Tell Loeb how many copies you could sell of his own Kick Ass. I don’t even care if he does it at Icon--I just want to read it.

1) A similar "challenge" got McFarlane to draw again, even for a little while.

2) This could be a chance to get the haters to eat their own words.

3) Too comfortable on that corporate teat? Sounds a lot like Ultimates 3 to me. Working ONLY with well-established "hot" artists who could sell anything (i.e. Ed McGuinness, Ian Churchill, Art Adams, Joe Mad)? The man DOES have a point.

4) Creator-owned books can be REALLY good. I.e. Powers by Bendis. What if Loeb has a Powers inside, just waiting to be written?

Could you link to where I used the phrase "at gunpoint", thanks.

Says the Invincible fan.

And yeah, I'm a fan of the Hulk book (not the Incredible Hulk book, though), so what. Not every comic has to be Shakespeare, you know.
