Seems like I'm always making excuses for the lack of posting or the duration of the blog entries--and this week will be no different. With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up, we'll be taking a few days of downtime off, and that means no blogging for that period.
In the meantime, since I've only got a short week to kill, I thought I'd address the one or two questions that were tossed out during this past week's comic book walk-through.
>Hey Tom, is it usual for artists to get editorial to look at their panel breakdowns? I've always assumed that it wasn't. (not sure why because it seems like a perfectly sensible thing to do!!)

Depends on the penciler. Some guys go directly to fully penciled pages--these tend to be the guys with whom you've got some familiarity, and who have a track record of being able to pull off storytelling. But there are other guys, like Marcos, who'd rather get the feedback up front, to whom the storytelling and design aspects are paramount. Marcos could do excellent pages left to his own devices, but he solicits input from myself and brian so as to make the pages better.
>Song Rights
In the case of something like the lyrics to The Girl from Ipanema, presumably you'd have to have legal or whomever get the publishing rights to reprint the lyrics to the song? Or is it in public domain? I guess the same thing goes for the use of Break My Stride in New Avengers.

Depends on the amount of the song you're quoting. There are rules about what comprises fair usage--so as long as you remain within those boundaries, you're safe to do it one time.
More later.

Just a few question What IF...? Inmagine this time where marvel movies capture all the attention from movies fan What if you make a movie of Steve Rogers Captain America in cast by John Cena? If you see his last movie he tag the character in most characteristic of the captain... what is your opinion?
