The Call
2007-05-10 20:23:11

I must be getting soft in the head, or maybe I just miss the hustle and bustle of CIVIL WAR or something--but I've been thinking that maybe it's time to start up a second round of the MARVEL EDITORIAL SIMULATION game. I've got a few new ideas as to how to make this installment a bit more interesting than the last.

But it does mean that I'm going to need some players. And depending on how I decide to go about this, I may need as many as four people to fill different slots. So I'm putting out the call for applicants--anybody who'd like to be considered for one of these slots should drop me a line at mheroes@marvel.com and let me know why you'd be a good participant.

Bear in mind that, just like last time, anybody who signs up to be a participant in this game is going to need to commit a block of two weeks or so during which they'll read the various days' scenarios and post their assorted moves. It can be incredibly time-comsuing, especially if you take it as seriously as our last two contestants--and really, who wouldn't?

More later.

Hey, I didn't know where to post questions, so I'll just do it in your latest entry!

I'm Sergio B. of the Marvel Gazette, a comics newspaper-site. Dozens of people have written in to various people at Marvel about this topic and received no reply or action on Marvel's part. Why isn't the Amazing Spider-Girl in more mass market outlets? Blockbusters, 7-11's, Fry's, Safeway, Target, and many more all carry comics in some form or another. Spider-Girl is an all-ages title, sells great in digest form at book fairs at elementary and middle schools, and the writing style is new reader friendly (with little "writing for the trade"). It certainly sems like children's enthusiasm for Spider-Man 3 would give it a nice push in the mass market, if it were sold that way. It seems like the perfect book to distribute through mass market outlets, so why isn't it?
