Originally posted by Board WalkerUltimately it doesn't matter what a writer who loaned advice to the Marvel writer wanted to portray, the fact of the matter is that the blue brother held by the LT in a exclusively marvel comic was not DC.
Yea, don't know if you noticed BW but we're past that.
There is no doubt that was meant to be DC.
Now, us/you/whoever wanting to accept that is another matter.
That aside, even if you didn't accept that to be DC, you still have the LT with Two Comic book lines in his hand.
Which leaves questions in the air.
Originally posted by Board WalkerIt would mean that the DC company was at the mercy of a marvel writer, which it never was.
You're right. I think it means DC is at the mercy of its own "Executive Editor." (editor in chief)
Mike Carlin: (scan below is from Adv. of the X-Men)
------------------------------
Mike Carlin, the guy who helped write "Adv. of the X-Men," isn't just some writer (rogue or not)
he was actually the Executive Editor of DC ... you know, the guy in charge.
Like Tom Brevoort is for Marvel:
------------------------------
Which means he's like the Supreme Being of DC. (specifically concerning what takes place on panel)
------------------------------
The only person above ol' Mike Carlin ...
was the President/Publisher of DC. (Jenette Kahn, who's main concern was sales naturally)
In charge of who/what/where On Panel? = Mike Carlin! ... Just like Brevoort in Marvel.
