"Newsletter About James Gunn Superman News"
"Subtitle Goes Here"
oh shit i’m out of a job
In other non-career-destroying news, I’m #blessed to have TWO spots on Book Riot’s list of the best comics of the year for DEVIL’S REIGN and NEWBURN! Now, being on “best of” lists isn’t everything, and especially so when Kieron Gillen is also on it twice after destroying me last week in IGN’S Best Comics award. But, it’s like I always say: “My friends’ success is also my success and yet my success is not theirs.”
I’m glad everyone enjoyed my vampire fiction earlier this week. If you’re into INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE you should also go check out Tini’s glorious list of Things Lestat Had Decided He Liked Since Anne Rice Died. It’s extremely spot on.
It’s insane to me that our jobs are writing BATMAN and CATWOMAN. We could make them both vampires tomorrow and get paid for it and also get fired wow what a world
Of course, yes, Batman’s already been a vampire:
Just not a SEXY one. HMMMMMM
In other Batman news, the massive talent that is Mike Hawthorne talked with POPVERSE about working on the next arc and how much of a tyrant I am! I would encourage you to check it out, but be warned! There are TOO MANY SPOILER PAGES in the article! Because this is the world we live in and the Sales & Marketing battle I will always lose! So, if you don’t want to know what’s coming up, come BACK to this interview once issue #131 is out! If you simply can’t wait though, go for it.
Here’s some less-spoiler-y art for the True Enjoyers:
have a lovely weekend
-chip!!!!!!!
I was just talking to a co-worker about this when your newsletter dropped. We work in marketing & communications and she was kidding/not kidding about not having jobs by this time next year as these AI-powered chat machines will have written all our ad copy and messaging docs. And as she was telling me all this, I'm thinking, "I've seen Terminator; I've seen the Matrix. I'm going to have a job ... and it's with the resistance!"
If I had to chose between you and Keiron to lead the resistance I'd clearly pick Keiron, but since he's in London (I think) you'll have to do. I hope you're up for this. You should get started designing patches. Resistance fighters love patches. I appreciate you wanting to take the fight to the machines! Go get 'em Chip!
Batman owes a lot of his shtick to vampires, and Dracula. But I agree, not sexy enough. If he makes Robin his "bloodboy", that's a step in the right direction, a new sexy slave-master dynamic to their relationship. I can picture it now, Bruce draining his Dick (or another Robin) for a quick fix to give him the strength to terrorize Gotham. Also, "Gotham"... "goth" is already in the name, so slap some black eyeliner on Robin and you're all set. Feel free to use any of my ideas...
