DigiWatch: Is the Nook taking a larger percentage of digital sales than previously thought?

FrontPageWatch: CBR seems to think that Chuck Dixon is the new Punisher writer, rather than Greg Rucka. It's been like that for a couple of days now…

Part One:

Lenny took me aside and told me off. Who the hell did I think I was? How dare I interfere with Marie and him? He muttered something about going to Sol about this.

So, finally, the little light bulb came on. This guy didn't know he reported to me. Okay, I should have known, I'm as dumb as an oyster. But, hey, I had a lot on my mind then.

Part Two.

As an editor, Marschall was marginal at best. He made a lot of mistakes. The worst was failing to get licensor approval on a movie adaptation—Planet of the Apes, I think, prior to going to press. The licensor rejected the book. We had to scrap 600,000 copies.

And as an aside;

Funny thing about Stan. I'm not saying he doesn't love the comics, because he does—but in his heart of hearts, what he really wanted was a successful syndicated strip or a successful "real" magazine…

I used to argue with him. I'd tell him he made comics huge, and comics made him a worldwide icon. Why not stick with that? He'd say yes…pause…but someday I'd really like to publish a real magazine!

So I have some hopes for it. I mean look, you've got Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, it's a really good cast, and I know they want it to be good. And it was a real reboot, that's the other thing, when I came on I said, 'I don't wanna ape what Sam and Tobey did,' and they said 'No we're really rebooting it.' And so that's when I came in and did what I did, which again was primarily character and dialogue."
