I still wait patiently for the Jason Shayer version of the story of Jim Shooter's time at Marvel, particularly as EIC.
ReplyDeleteHey David, thanks for the reminder. Unfortunately, I've got a novel to write on my plate for the rest of 2013 and probably most of 2014. I'd still love to write something on Shooter though...
ReplyDeleteThis was a cute, funny bit when it came out. I remember groaning (and smiling) when I saw that "Sunspot" actually shot off his own foot. I've heard so many bad stories about Shooter's behavior at Marvel, but I only liked Valiant when he was still there. It would be really cool to read another take on his time at Marvel :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with NaNoWriMo! Will you be posting and/or blogging either what you're writing, or about the process of doing it? I'd be delighted to read either!
ReplyDeleteThanks David. I won't be posting up the novel, but I will be commenting about it and NaNoWrimo over at my author blog (which has been terribly neglected): http://jasonshayer.blogspot.com
