Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* John Seven on We All Wish For Deadly Force. John Seven on s! #25.

* via Chris Butcher's twitter feed comes a reminder that the pirate mentality is still out there. I'm glad that we've shifted somewhat away from consumers deciding best commercial outcome and phrase it more in the personal. I think this is creators' rights straight up. You should have the right to charge what you want or contract that right away to someone. It's not up to anyone to substitute their priorities and judgment over what the creator decides.

* I don't even remember a Back To The Future comic. It's weird what people will do comics versions of; I can't imagine any juice to be had from the property beyond those three movies and if I could go back in time I'd tell me to skip the third.

* here's an article about Marvel's filed New Universe. Okay, then. Let's get to the bottom of this! It promises 11 reasons why the line didn't work but I don't know if there's much more to know than they were not good comics and the line did not hit with readers in a way that ever made it a priority. I'm sure it has fans -- everything does -- but those comics were nearly all pretty rough except by the extremely lenient standard of "other superhero comics."

* finally, James Whitbrook walks us through the Marvel Universe after is slow, rolling line revamp. I always get confused by titles like this one, i have to say. I have tried to read certain series and given up because of weird offshoots and lack of continuity in creator teams. They don't really need me, but still.
