Mark Millar Says DC Will Publish His New Superman Comic

Mark Millar is launching a model new comedian guide collection, The Ambassadors, so what does that imply? It means a PR stunt or two, as a way to get media consideration.  This is just not new for Mark Millar, he has a historical past or profitable media manipulation to advertise his work and his profession, and has a historical past of doing it higher than anybody, even Stan Lee.

In the previous that has included a faked Kick Ass road video and faked Obama-reading-Superior images, in addition to the lies that Eminem was to star in a film model of Wanted, and the tame journalists he used to get that story momentum, his seemingly non-existent journey to Detroit for MPH, his faked Time Square images for Nemesis, his faked the Starlight Tattooed Granny movies or the way in which he received ReedPOP to purchase 100 thousand copies of the launch concern of The Magic Order at a heavy low cost, earlier than later destroying them, in order that he may declare it was the most important promoting creator-owned launch in a long time.

So what has he give you for The Ambassadors? Aside from some organized canine whistles in The Times, two days in the past, Mark Millar tweeted “It might take me a year or two to get ahead on my schedule, but I’m 100% going to do another Superman story at some point. I’ve had a notebook I’ve been noodling in for quite a while now…”

Then yesterday, simply earlier than The Ambassadors announcement, Mark Millar fairly tweeted himself, saying “The nice people who run DC contacted me last night about this tweet and we’re definitely going to do this once everybody’s schedule aligns a year or two down the line. Gonna be big.”

So, a brand new Superman comedian guide written by Mark Millar. Is this true? Normally you’d say sure. It will surely make sense from DC Comics’ perspective to get to publish a brand new Superman comedian guide. But that is Mark Millar, and he does simply makes stuff up. And is pleased with it, saying “within a twenty-four hour news cycle you will get the gag exposed and thus get two news-spikes in the same day, the cost minimal to nothing. As your career progresses you will hopefully have mainstream attention and movie rights to help sell your story in the mainstream for launch (which goes everywhere and is the best friend you’ll ever have in selling your books), but in the meantime just have a little fun with this stuff as every person talking about the outrageousness of your marketing is essentially advertising your book.”  And sure, that features Bleeding Cool.
