Many years ago, I was attending Mark Gruenwald’s memorial service. I was just standing there, minding my own business, looking quietly at some of the displays, and a woman walked up to me and said, “Excuse me…are you Peter David?” I said yes. She said, “I just wanted to tell you, you’re a terrible writer. Just awful.” I stared at her and said, “Thank you for sharing that.” She walked away.
If Internet blogs had existed as such at the time, I’ve no doubt she would have blogged or twittered about it.
Flash forward to a fan attending the Chicago Wizard Con and he discovers that, unannounced, Rob Liefeld is sitting at a table. Is Rob sitting their boasting abut his greatness? Is he talking about how his contributions to Marvel are the greatest ever? No. He’s just minding his own business, drawing a sketch of Wolverine.
The guy, fulfilling a personal ambition, walks up to Rob Liefeld and thinks it the height of hilarity to tell him that he demands Rob apologize for “Heroes Reborn.”
