095 Seemingly calm March

readx;? In any company, no matter how perfect the management system is, it is inevitable that there will be such and such discordant remarks, and because of the complexity of human beings, and the credulity that is easy for a person to show in the group, it has happened repeatedly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, fortunately, this kind of thing is not difficult to solve, as long as there are no people with ulterior motives to fan the flames here, you just need to do a good job of explaining.

Just like Meng Qi, he gathered all the personnel of the company and arranged some of the next work of AC Comics, which easily dispelled everyone's doubts.

Therefore, even if Meng Qi felt that the remarks of "layoffs" were faintly strange, this matter was still just a small episode in March, and it was gently revealed.

Overall, March 2008 was a bit quieter.

At the end of February, the origin story of the four superheroes, led by The Flash, has come to an end, and the next serialization is still in the intense preparation stage.

At present, the only comics that can be seen on the market are "Wonder Woman" and the long-form "Superman: Legendary Story", and "Window", which collects short stories.

However, what has changed a little is that "Shop Window" has changed from a monthly magazine to a weekly magazine.

On the one hand, because after Meng Qi returned to the United States, under the influence of feminist demonstrations, he accelerated the pace of comic book world construction, and a large number of superhero designs were proposed by him, such as Green Arrow, Black Canary, Atom, Blue Beetle, Firestorm, etc., These superheroes have not yet received the same treatment as the Justice League Seven, and they are all the first to appear on the "Window" in the form of short stories and short stories.

After all, most of these heroes in the original DC universe can only be regarded as second-tier heroes or even third-tier heroes, and considering the different tastes of comic book readers in the two worlds, Meng Qi still did not let the main issue be launched directly, but only showed it on the "Window" first, and the market decided their final fate.

On the other hand, the writers and cartoonists of AC Comics are also racking their brains to design new superheroes, and almost every day, new heroes are born, and there is no shortage of creative and brilliant designs, and these new heroes also need a platform to show their heroes.

The large number of superheroes forced Meng Qi to turn "Window" into a weekly magazine.

In addition, Meng Qi also showed the classic "parallel universe world view" of DC Comics in the form of a short story on "Shop Window".

Meng Qi did not do this to launch big events such as "Crisis of Infinite Earths" and "Zero Point".

Because in his opinion, the ultimate goal of DC comics on the earth to launch these major events is due to the fact that there are too many main comics and there is no good coordination mechanism, and the main writers create separately, which has caused a lot of contradictions in the setting, and can only unify the comic setting through such a major event that restarts the entire universe.

And Meng Qi noticed this early, and he is trying his best to avoid such a problem, and it is basically impossible to have a setting contradiction that is enough to cause the world to restart.

Therefore, Meng Qi's purpose in bringing up the "parallel universe worldview" is to give the comic world another possibility, which will also leave a mark on the minds of comic book readers, so as not to overreact in the face of works that are too biased in the future, such as "Injustice" and "Red Son".

"Window" changed from a monthly magazine to a weekly magazine, which also allowed Meng Qi to launch a special issue with heroines as the theme.

Released in the third week of March, "The Window" features seven female superheroes, including Superwoman, Black Widow, Black and White Canary, Hawkgirl, Erica, and Zatana.

In addition to being Meng Qi's other positive response to the "demonstrations", another hidden purpose was to launch the character of Black Widow.

Reason?

Of course, it is to lay the foundation for the future Avengers to dig a pit, after all, among these female superheroes, only Black Widow belongs to the Marvel faction, if a comic book reader from Earth sees this issue of "The Window", he will definitely smell the unusual smell inside.

However, this issue of "Window" caused a lot of discussion about the role of Superwoman, with Superman in front of Zhuyu, Superwoman who is so closely connected with Superman immediately caused a sensation, plus Superwoman is not simply the feminization of Superman, there are obviously a lot of deep stories to excavate, so just this issue of the magazine, the call for "let Superwoman have her own series of comics" spread.

Even the Black Widow, which Meng Qi cared more about and even drew it himself, although it also attracted a lot of attention, did not win such a popular treatment.

In total, Meng Qi has launched nearly forty superheroes through "Window", and it is foreseeable that in the next two or three months, the number of works of AC Comics will have an explosive growth, and more and more superheroes will have their own series of comics.

In addition to these things, there are a few things worth mentioning this March.

Meng Qi has completed the script writing for the first season of "Superman Prequel", and has passed the review of the NBO almost word for word. The NBO's action can be regarded as vigorous, and the series has now entered the preparatory stage.

Although the NBO has been trying to invite Meng Qi to participate in the production of the series in the past, Meng Qi's mind is obviously not on this, and it is impossible to put time and energy on TV, if it is a movie, he may also consider it seriously, so for the invitation of the NBO, of course, he refused without thinking.

Although the Wara Bros. did not obtain "Smallville", because of the existence of the concept of "animated universe", they also easily obtained the animation adaptation rights of Frank Miller's other comics.

In any case, after the "demonstrations", March passed quickly in an unusually calm state.

…………

A familiar dimly lit space, where three people sit together, full of immediacy.

"The demonstrations didn't have much of an impact on Frank Miller, or maybe not at all......," said a man's voice, "and I kind of admire his keen response to crises and his ability to turn them into opportunities......

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged woman's voice immediately said, "Oh? I don't think so...... If it hadn't been for Mr. Sergeant's advice not to be too deliberate, I think we would have made a big deal this time. ”

"So how do you do that?" the man asked rhetorically.

"I just casually mentioned all-man superhero comics to Karin Jenny at a party, and that'......s perfectly enough for an extreme feminist like her," the middle-aged woman replied.

"And then you're going to let things run their course, just watching Frank Miller expand his territory?" the man's voice smacked of mockery.

"Of course...... But it's still a lot smarter than the stupid reporter you sent out at the last press conference...... By the way, is Chris still hiding in Hawaii? It's so pitiful, it's said that he can't even go home for Christmas......" The middle-aged woman sneered.

"You ......" the man was a little annoyed.

"Alright, all stop, my friends, now is not the time to quarrel. Mr. Sergeant Major was still smoking a cigar and said in a calm tone, "Whether it is Chris, or the demonstrations, everything has its purpose, it has a deeper purpose, and these things may have had little impact on Frank Miller, but they have left a mark on the hearts of many people, and believe me, my friends, these marks will be one of our help...... And we don't have to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, because the final victory will be ours......"

There was silence in the dimly lit space, and the prestige of Mr. Sergeant Major made them pause their quarrel.

After a while, the middle-aged woman asked, "What should we do next?"

"Keep waiting, wait for the next opportunity......"

"Do you have to wait?" said the man who spoke first, "I think we have a good opportunity now, and we can use those feminists to launch another wave of ......"

"It's unlikely, the latest issue of AC Comics' "Window" is a heroine feature, and this issue of the magazine is very popular among women...... "The middle-aged woman reminded, "I have accurate data to prove ......"

"No, my friends...... It's not a bad thing...... "Actually, Wonder Woman was enough to eliminate the heroes of the demonstrations, but Frank Miller still launched this heroine issue, which shows that his judgment has been compromised, and he is no longer as in control of the situation as before, so he has to do more...... He started to panic......"

"That's right, AC Comics has launched a whole bunch of superheroes through Window Showcase, and it looks like there's going to be a big move next. The man replied.

"The more things you do, the easier it is to leak holes, aren't you?" Mr. Sergeant Major seemed to smile, "we just need to wait for them to show that flaw...... Even a small flaw and oversight, if we take advantage of it, can Frank Miller fall from his high seat......"

The man and the middle-aged woman who spoke first did not speak, while Mr. Sergeant Major stood up.

"On April 19, 1770, the unknown villager of Lexington pulled the trigger and started the war for independence and freedom!"

"On September 28, 1918, Henry Tandy let go of the mustachioed German on a whim, and the whole world was in trouble again!"

"On December 5, 1955, the black woman who refused to give up her seat to whites sparked the largest black civil rights movement in history!"

"All major events in history start with small things...... That's exactly what we're doing now, we just need to be ready and wait for it to happen!"

Mr. Sergeant Major made his point with a barrage of proportional evidence, and his tone remained subdued, but full of incendiary momentum.

Finally, the man who spoke first asked with some hesitation, "What if Frank Miller never showed his flaws?"

"No one is perfect, my friend......" replied Mr. Sergeant Major, his voice finally getting a little cold, "but if he is too cunning, even more cunning than I can ...... Well, I don't mind creating some flaws for him......"
