Dan Jurgens Throws Super-Shade On Marvel Legacy Over #ArtCred

All day long, Marvel Comics has been releasing a series of industry-changing announcements about Marvel Legacy, its big September publishing initiative. The theme has been homage covers, with all of Marvels series getting them, in six-image chunks, released each hour throughout the day. For a grand finale, Marvel released six more individual teasers as separate press releases. Though these also weren't exactly industry–changing, it's entirely possible Marvel's strategy was to bombard readers with underwhelming news all day long so that when mildly interesting news was revealed later, the most exciting probably being the return of Marvel Two-in-One, it would seem more important.

But in all the industry-changing chaos, Marvel understandably missed a few steps. In several of the big cover release articles, including the one on their own website, nobody credited the artists of the new homage covers. But when it came to the artists of the original covers being homaged, they were credited even less.

Esteemed comic book creator Dan Jurgens had something to say about that on Twitter:

Well, Dan, this is about changing the industry after all. Maybe not crediting the artists is the way of the future?
