I used t'write for Disney, and I was an editor at Marvel, where I took care'a the Harvey-Award winning THOR THE MIGHTY AVENGER, Eisner-Award winning OZ books, SPIDER-MAN, SUPER HEROES, X-MEN FIRST CLASS, PET AVENGERS, SPIDER-MAN LOVES MARY JANE and a buncha others.
This blog is dedicated to exactly what I'm thinking at all times. I'm on Twitter as @NateCosboom.
Brian Clevinger is totally unique: He’s a white guy that works in comic books.
I asked him four goddamn questions today.
NATE: Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe, or Kevin Spacey from LA Confidential?
BRIAN: Yes.
NATE: Do you like any sports?
BRIAN: No. I don’t dislike them either. Except baseball. I mean, I get that there’s only 12 minutes of play time in a given NFL game, but there’s about 1 minute of footage worth watching out of the dozens of 4-hour baseball games in a given week.
NATE: Your dream 7-person Avengers team. Absolutely no rules or context.
BRIAN: Cosmic Robot Hulk, Banner Hulk, Skaar, Red Hulk, She-Hulk, Red She-Hulk, and dammit I was I hoping I could find another Hulk without going into the secondary Gamma folks like Samson and Abomination. Okay, in that case: Danny Rand, Luke Cage, Colleen Wing, Misty Knight, Taskmaster, Monica Rambeau, and Hawkeye is their leader.
NATE: When you found out Scott Pilgrim’s opening box office, did you feel like it hurt, helped, or didn’t effect getting an Atomic Robo movie made?
BRIAN: The mainstream was tired of Michael Cera a couple bombs ago, and I’m afraid the Scott Pilgrim movie is a victim of that backlash. But, movie execs aren’t exactly known for their discerning powers of observation, so yeah, they’ll see Robo as “another comic book movie? Didn’t one of those just bomb?” and that’ll be another nail in the coffin. Can’t wait for JJ Abrams to screw up Boilerplate just to make sure they never make a Robo movie!
