Tom Brevoort is a Marvel Executive Editor, and has been publicly support the "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" stories in the face of fan criticism. But what did he think back on 6th October 1995? Lets find out with the power of the internet!
“Harry's dead. Really dead. Really and truly dead. We go so far as to exhume his body in the upcoming ‘Legacy of Evil’ one-shot.
“And if I ever stoop to having someone clone Harry, or reveal that it was only some genetic duplicate who died, please somebody shoot me."
If only he’d added “or brought back in a vague fashion through a deal with the devil" I think certain people would be descending on Manhattan with Uzis.
Say, I wonder if Mephisto’s spell works on Google?
Wizard VP/Senior Managing Editor Joe Yanarella has now been moved to head up the company's Conventions/Operations dept. He was basically the managing editor for the entire editorial dept, and according to sources within the company, he's being heralded as the guy who's going to fix all of Wizard World's convention problems. HA!!!
However, Joe is well known in the company for hating conventions. He's only attended a couple, for the sake of his children.
The current head of conventions remains in her position, but Joe has been appointed her senior, without discussion.
While we're talking Wizard, do you receive a Wizard Email Newsletter? Find it hard to get them to stop sending it to you? Well, it's been a running joke at Wizard over the inability to de-subscribe. Stephen Shamus was heard to say that it was a waste of time removing people from the database, when that time could be spent adding new people. Basically, if you fill in a Wizard survey at a convention, buy an item from the store, subscribe, sign up on the message boards, that's it. For life.
One side effect is that not too long ago the company email address for Wizard employees changed from "wizarduniverse.com" to "wizardent.com." The reason was that most major e-mail servers classified anything coming from "wizarduniverse.com" as spam - indeed, they were halted at the server level... nasty!
Tony Lee is writing a superhero one shot called “MILF Magnet." About a young superhero with the power to attract women of a certain age.

Yes, it’s my continued attempt to bring back, single handed, the very thing that destroyed the comics industry in the nineties!
Previous iterations of this new regular feature spotlighted IDW’s “Locke & Key" and Marvel’s “One More Day" as items that may see supply exceed demand and thus fill your boots if you buy longboxes to sell at a later date. This week, “Buffy" #12. Part of the Season Eight series, this book will start the arc written by “Buffy" Season 7 and “Cloverfield" scriptwriter Drew Goddard. And Dark Horse have been recommending retailers order more copies of this, as a result of some unannounced event happening within its forty pages, directed straight from the mushy brain of Joss Whedon.
The solicitation reads, "Acclaimed television series writer, Drew Goddard (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer," “Alias," “Lost"), takes the reins on Season Eight with his four-issue arc titled ‘Wolves at the Gate.’ The gang (yep, Dawn too) travels to Tokyo where they duel vampires with unusual, yet strangely familiar, powers."
What the special event is, I don’t know, but expect publicity and expect increased demand ... but only when the book comes out. Make sure your multiple pull copies are listed on eBay before the book has shipped and Dark Horse announce a second print.
As certain people are doing with this week’s “Captain America," of course. A new man to fill the costume. About to hit the press wires, and this time you all know about it in advance. Still some potential to scalp non-regular buyers and make them pay double/triple cover! Let’s put one up on eBay right now in anticipation!
Talking of which, good timing on this eBay item, Wizard!
