Sunday-Herald on Marvel’s 1985 Fumetti

By the time this post rolls out tomorrow morning, I'll be at the gym and someone will have gone on the record at Newsarama or Comic Book Resources saying that Mark Millar's Marvel fumetti project 1985 is not costing Marvel millions of dollars as reported by the Sunday-Herald. There's just no way in hell that's true. If I'm remembering correctly, Millar has a relationship with the writer where these kind of grand overstatements that just so happen to have a key public relations function are par for the course.

Still, I'm not sure the expected backing away from that figure will mitigate the general loopiness and gonzo feeling that accompanies things one reads about the project, qualities I see as a positive. Marvel will lose an organized ground war with DC. Throw in the occasional out-there sounding project like this one, with a talent and personality like Millar fueling it, and Marvel stands a better chance of staking a place for itself in the fan-perception wars. Watch the skies!
