The Big Question.... If Romney Wins, Does He Get On The Cover Of Amazing Spider-Man?

Don't you know that Marvel only ever does things for the purest of motives? The whole variant cover phenomenon, for example, started as a way to give fans a choice... and (in the case of blank variants) a handy place to get sketches made.

They were shocked (shocked!) that it increased sales. It never even occurred to them.

What are you on about? We were hoping to sell comics. Lots of em.

And It worked.

You are bad at sarcasm.

So, you're saying that the known political leanings of most Marvel writers and editors (and really, most people working with any form of art anywhere in the world, notoriously left-leaning) and the fact that this was an obvious chance of making money had nothing to do with it?

I'm saying you sound stoned.

Oh... haven't you heard the news?

Until the Repubicans successfully defund PBS, I think Big Bird is safe from Disney.

Don't let the door hit you in your fat ass on the way out, Dan Slott. I'll pack you a bag, even.

While you're making moving plans, maybe you should hand over your cush writing gig to someone who might need a leg up and would appreciate it more? Spread the wealth around a bit, as Obama's fond of saying. You've had a long, successful run in the biz already -- it's only fair, after all.

No? Well then shut the fuck up, and take President Kardashian's impending ass-whooping like a man.

Please tone it down with the name calling and obscenities.
While we may have political differences, that is no reason to ignore the forum rules.

That answer says a lot more than you think about yourself...

True. The subtext is I really think you are stoned.

Would Marvel do Mitt Romney Spider -Man cover, SW?

If he came out as a Spidey fan.

I was dying for McCain to show some Spidey love, but he chose wrong.

As it was, we soon did a Spidey/Cap story with a prominent Republican....probably the MOST prominent. That comic was featured in the Smithsonian.
