Thoughts on the Amazon/Comixology deal so far?
Just as a competitor and as somebody who actually works with them.
I mean, as a competitor, its not… look, I salute them.
You know, as a publisher and as a comics guy.
Because, you know, the strong arm tactics that gives Amazon… weve seen.
So, I think thats…
I just think thats a very dangerous precedent.
And, Gerry Duggan is taking over for me and hes gonna do great.
I mean, Ive talked to him, I know what his plans are and I think theyre terrific.
So, I think its in good hands.
Its funny, theres not… we talk about this a lot at Marvel, especially.
Where else is there to be that I havent been?
Um, those are the ones that come immediately to mind.
Do you think that theyll come back around at some point, just go back to the classics?
Maybe, hard to say.
Im sure if there is enough of a fan demand, they will.
But well just see, you know?
What annoys you, if anything, about the comic press?
(Laughs) Thats a good question.
You know what, I like this.
I like being able to have a conversation.
I like being able to do a vocal interview.
Well first off, those are dull questions.
So that bugs me a little bit.
And of course, anytime that rumor control gets out of hand, thats annoying as hell.
Well, likeDaredevil, before the Marvel Now re-launch.
Everyone thought you were off the book.
Right, they thought I was off the book.
Well it got reported as…
It became fact very quickly, which is ridiculous.
It was never that way.
Alright, well now that hes leftDaredevil… wait, no, I havent leftDaredevil!
Its still that idea…
I know we cant have full returnability for comics.
But its hard to take chances.
Its not like it goes back to the companies.
So, once Ive put that investment in, you know, Im in for it.
TheDaredevilshow, will it bum you out if it gets dark and gritty?
No, it is what it is.
And I suspect that it will be very dark and gritty, and you know what, thats okay.
I wont take it personally.
