It’s hard to imagine Ditko (or any cartoonist of his time) really processing the idea of an 8000 page comic book created entirely by the same creative team. He’s coming from a context in which a 64 page story was considered a rare, lengthy indulgence.
Alongside the delays in X-Men, will the Hellfire Gala one-shot and the Judgment Day event books be pushed back to a month? Also, I’m not nearby a comic shop to pre-order, but does subscription.marvel.com help make pre-ordering an ongoing series easier?
Thrilled to hear Dead Eyes is continuing! I found this on my bookshelf a couple of weeks ago and realized I had never read it. It was fantastic! Really enjoyed it, happy to have more on the way!
Hi Gerry! I love your work and had the pleasure to meet you at cons a few times and you’ve always been so kind and generous with your time. I realize that you didn’t really get a chance to look closely at the bespoke covers before approving them and an nft cover is not common and couldn’t have been expected. Would you still have approved of it given more time to look over the covers? Also, as of right would you still consider participating in NFTs as part of an Image collaboration? I realize that things can always change in the future and people don’t want to be beholden to things they’ve typed in response to random comments off the cuff.
Hi Gerry, love your comics! Your X men Run is really fun and I think the balance between the three x men books is really good.
It seems you will be dealing with moira and I believe it will be great. One thing that would be cool would be show her in the no place because the one thing I think the x Office isn't doing right is showing the change from house of x and powers of x to the current era.
Thanks and keep up the excellent work, I hope your run reaches 50 issues.

Agree completely.
NFTs suck, dropping X-Men from my pull list, fuck off with that bullshit.
Once again, the X-Men taking the fall for something they didn't do. Classic!

How do the signed plates with copies of Dark Room work? All image.com pre-orders redirect to Amazon or search for a shop. Thank you!
I think that is just through the retailers that pre-order the book. Third Eye Comics and Midtown have very good online sales - try them!

Great letter. Did you ever meet Ditko in person? (And I've read all of LW&C, and haven't seen the movies, and those comics are amazing.)
No, I asked if he wanted to get a coffee or bite when I was in NY and was told "that will not be necessary". And the films are...not great?
