  4. Kewl, but here’s the “problem”:

    Enter IDW, which offered the creator owned book a new home

    Project Propsals
    IDW Publishing is not accepting submissions for this position at this time.

    Is this a catch 22?

  7. Kelly, I’m not sure what your point is. There is no “Catch-22” here. As I recall, PAD didn’t seek out IDW as the new home for “Fallen Angel” (i.e., he didn’t “submit” any proposal). He was offered (as you noted) a new home for the book.
    As for IDW’s not accepting submissions for new proposals, that’s hardly unique to IDW. Most publishers don’t accept “new proposals” for any project beyond a few times during the year (if then). This largely alleviates the problem of “I submitted an idea just like that one that [fill in writer’s name] is doing”. IDW very easily could (and, very likely, will) accept new proposals at a later date, but not right now.

  9. Hey, I just wanted to post a link & quick comment here about an interview with good ol’ PAD on the UncannyXMen.Net site.

    It’s a good interview but (oh boy, this ties in with the other thread about authors on the internet) that last answer “sounds” a little condescending. *hides*

    Btw, I just went through the whole House of M (the main mini) last night, and I found it to be alright, overall, but I’m a bit disappointed by *SPOILER* how much they restricted themselves with the number of remaining mutants by saying there are exactly 198.

    That, and I have to wonder how long this will last because, well, let’s face it, Marvel hasn’t exactly had a sterling track record of letting the “big events” stick.

    And I really wish the dámņ Preview button would work. 😛

  10. Oh, farking hëll, my attempt to change the text color for the spoiler didn’t work.

    *sigh* Why does HTML suck so badly?

  11. “It’s a good interview but (oh boy, this ties in with the other thread about authors on the internet) that last answer “sounds” a little condescending. *hides*”

    Well, we’ll just have to chalk that one up to the limitations of the soundlessness of the internet, because it sure wasn’t intended to be condescending.

    “That, and I have to wonder how long this will last because, well, let’s face it, Marvel hasn’t exactly had a sterling track record of letting the “big events” stick.”

    With the implication being that DC does? Lessee: DC big events–got rid of the multiverse, the JSA, Kara Zor-El, the Flash, and Hal Jordan as Green Lantern, and subsequently introduced Hypertime, brought back the JSA, re-introduced Kara Zor-El, brought in a new Flash, and brought Hal Jordan back as Green Lantern.

  12. With the implication being that DC does?

    The last time I read anything from DC was when Superman temporarily bit the big one.

    So, that should tell you something about how well I keep track of what DC does. 🙂

  14. The February solicitations mention this:
    FALLEN ANGEL #3 (OF 5)

    Is the intention that FA will be a series of miniseries this time around?

  15. After a few people raised similar concerns, PAD explained – on the “Fallen Angel Promo at Wizard World Texas” thread – that IDW likes to essentially hedge their bets by starting projects with a mini-series. He also mentioned that orders for FA have looked VERY good so far… 🙂
