Blatant Spin Makes Me Laugh
As you may or may not know, the artist Jae Lee has signed an exclusive contract with Marvel Comics.
He did so while working on a Batman comic for DC. His deal allowed for him to finish the DC project, but since DC was "displeased with his progress" (sounds like a codeword for "They were unhappy I was late"), they said, "Just go."
Okay, so today, the solicitations for that Batman project were released.
Here is what it says:
BATMAN: JEKYLL & HYDE #1
Written by Paul Jenkins
Art and Jae Lee
Cover by Sean Phillips
"man is not truly one, but truly two." - R.L. Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Never has that been better demonstrated than in Batman's conflicted foe Two-Face, the subject of the new 6-issue miniseries BATMAN: JEKYLL & HYDE by writer Paul Jenkins (Peter Parker: Spider-Man)! Expressing the dual nature of the villain, the miniseries will feature visuals by two distinct artists: Jae Lee (Inhumans) illustrates issues #1-3, while Sean Phillips (SLEEPER) draws issues #4-6!
I italicized the comments that made me laugh.
Isn't blatant spin amusing?
Please note that I am not blaming them for doing it. Heck, I am sort of impressed with how clean the spin fit. It just made me laugh, and I thought it might make others laugh as well.
