Because there's a certain strand of nonsense that seems increasingly out of place over on the old Workblog.

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

A+ Would recommend

Question with 22 notes

myrrhdyrrh asked: So uber is neat, and I'm curious: what comic series are you currently picking up every month for your own reading?

Thank you. I’m going to miss some off the list, as this is off the top of my head, and I’m only going to do Creator Owned and currently published books. Also, the ones I buy in singles rather than waiting for the trade. (So missed stuff like UNWRITTEN and PROPHET). 

MANHATTAN PROJECTS
SAGA
EAST OF WEST
MORNING GLORIES
MARA
STORM DOGS
NOWHERE MEN
FATALE 

There’s more than that, but that’s what jumped immediately to mind.

empressregnant asked: You wouldn't happen to have any plans to crossover with the Jean Grey School in Young Avengers at any point would you? The Young Avengers and the Jean Grey kids are my two favourite comic teams and I think I might die of happiness if they met.

Jason and I talked about it, actually, but have never worked out a time or place to do it.

There’s a very SMALL cameo in issue 6 with Transonic on IM with Prodigy.

iamnotbothereddotcom asked: It just occurred to me because I saw the announcement for their movie, but have you ever thought about using characters from Big Hero 6 for Young Avengers?

I hadn’t actually. 

I totally have plans for cameos down the line, so you never know.

Question with 8 notes

tomemyxmen asked: Hi Kieron, I just bought the AvX Companion, which has been hugely fun and rereading your UXM issues has been a particular joy. I had a question about the pack of Wolverine-resembling beasts chasing down the subversive agent in Sinister's society, who ended up learning that his oppression (and also the beasts' role in it) was "part of the system". Is that Sinister's take on the role of Cyclops and Wolverine's schism in the MU? That they're both at the mercy of a larger system of oppression?

Those are actually VICTOR CREED clones, not LOGAN ones. You can see his pen in the Menagerie when you get there later.

Generally speaking, the Non-Sinister elements were about the sense of ownership of others and colonialism. They weren’t part of the system - they were fuel for his system. They absorb all these other parts and just reduce them to tools for his desires.

(It’s sort of an inversion of Xavier promise - he says you’re special and gifted because of your genes, while sinister says your genes are the only thing that makes you special. The “you” is utterly irrelevant.)

ilikebluehorses asked: Hi there! Any word on the digital version of Über? As a someone living in the middle of Europe physical copies are not feasible and just a pain to get a hold of.

Avatar have plans for digital, but nothing to be announced yet. 

Trust me - as soon as I have something to say on this, I’ll be making a lot of noise about it. I’d like anyone to be able to get hold of the book, perhaps obviously.

rasmuslykke asked: What are your thoughts on Monaco? Should I buy it?

I haven’t played it enough, but liked it in its early beta days enough to say it’s worth a shot.

Writer’s Notes on Uber 1

But before we dive in, there’s an article about UBER over on USA Today, wherein I say things like…

“As a writer, I might tend to be more interested in why people do bad things than why people do good things. It’s why people are led down horrific moral paths and all the different reasons for that.”

And you can read the rest here. There’s a preview for Issue 2 in there too.

Spoilers, obv.
