122. All the people are enemies
readx;? The announcement jointly issued by Black Knight Comics, Bell Comics, and Heat Wave Publishing Company is written in the name of Wu Tian, and the full text is as follows:
"This time, it was indeed me who lost. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
"When I bought Black Knight Comics, Bell Comics, and Heatwave Publishing with the ambition of buying at a low price and selling at a price, I believed that superhero comics would not be knocked down by these negative things. It was precisely because of this sentiment that I chose to fight those people. β
"It's a pity that I lost. However, I categorically refuse to admit that I have failed. β
"Because, from the very beginning, no, to be precise, from the moment the statement of AC Comics was issued, it was decided that I was alone. β
In this respect, AC Comics and Frank Miller are indeed the pioneers of the superhero comic book era, but this cowardly, withdrawn, and trembling approach to the enemy is really disappointing. I thought Frank Miller would stand with me, but I was naΓ―ve. β
"Perhaps, as long as AC Comics is willing to stand up and stand up for superhero comics, this lawsuit and this battle will still have a fight. β
"It backfired, and it was too late. I should have realized earlier that the alliance between AC Comics and me was just an attempt to use the distribution channels of my three companies - perhaps this is a bit of a fallout here, but my anger kept my hands on it: the alliance was just an alternative because AC Comics was about to lose the distribution channel of Elk Books. β
"To put it bluntly, my company and I are just a trivial pawn in the eyes of AC Comics and Frank Miller, or just a few distribution channels. β
So, in this case, although there is also an element of self-righteousness, I can admit defeat, but I am not willing to admit defeat. β
"This delicate feeling, whether you can understand it or not, I am just here to state it to you. β
"But, dear Mr. Frank Miller, don't you realize that after you have done such a chilling thing to me, I can remain an ally as allied as ever?"
"Oh, of course not, of course the can't!"
"Fuck off, AC Comics!"
"Fuck off, father of superheroes!"
"I wish you and your superheroes the corpses well!"
The anger that was suppressed in the bland narrative at the beginning finally exploded at the end.
To be precise, under Meng Qi's careful planning, this emotion is extraordinarily real, vividly showing the anger after being betrayed and hurt.
And the direct result of this anger was that in less than a month, Wu Tian's three companies unilaterally terminated their partnership with AC Comics.
It's almost like a farce.
At the same time, Meng Qi also revealed a very explosive news in this announcement.
AC Comics and Elk Books seem to have a conflict, so they are looking for a new distribution channel!
Compared with the dissolution of the alliance, this breaking point has attracted more people's attention.
While neither AC Comics nor Elk Books have responded to this, that hasn't stopped people from talking about it.
"Since this news came from a party that used to be close to AC Comics, I think it is still more than 80% credible...... This means that AC Comics is in big trouble!"
"The decline in comic sales at AC Comics should be a big factor in Elk Books' abandonment of them. However, if AC Comics does lose the powerful distribution channel of Elk Books, I believe it will be a fatal blow not only to AC Comics, but also to superhero comics that are already in a desperate situation. β
"I agree with everyone's analysis, but I find that everyone ignores one fact. It's no secret that AC Comics and Frank Miller have several hardcore allies, Comic Front, the Wara Bros., the NBO, and the aforementioned Elk Books. Now, one of these four hardcore allies has already abandoned it, does this mean that the myth of the father of superheroes is about to collapse?"
"By the way, the first seasons of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Avatars" have ended, but the suspicious thing is that neither TV network has announced the successor anime series so far......"
"They must have been struggling with superhero comics, right?"
"AC comics are dead! Superhero comics are dead!"
"This is really shocking news, enough to close the coffin......"
These statements are like a curse, turning all the bad things into reality.
Before speculation about the Elk Books could be confirmed, the Warrah Brothers issued a notice.
The notice expressed three things: first, the anime channel animation will be suspended for half a month, and new animations will be launched at that time, second, the Wara Bros. has stopped all superhero-related projects, and third, the series after "Superman" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which have been completed, will be broadcast temporarily.
Although the Wara Bros. notice does not mention AC Comics and Frank Miller, it is clear to those who are a little more perceptive that between the lines, this notice comprehensively clarifies a message: We, the Wara Bros., have drawn a line with Frank Miller, the father of superheroes!
In the days that followed, there were rumors that Frank Miller had negotiated with the Warrah Brothers for several days and nights, but still did not win support, and that Frank Miller had entered the Warrah Brothers' blacklist.
Of course, these rumors were also released by Meng Qi, but they also gave people a fixed awareness from the side, that is, AC Comics and Frank Miller had been abandoned by the Wara Brothers.
Then, there's the NBO.
What the NBO did was no different from the Wara Brothers, it was nothing more than an announcement that the episodes after "Avatar" would be suspended, and the next animation would be a new work, and the project "Superman Prequel" had all been suspended.
Finally, there are the Elk Books.
Elk Books did not issue any notice, but silently canceled all the distribution business related to AC Comics, and it can even be said that almost overnight, Elk Books did not have any comics-related business at all.
Completely dissociated from comics and Frank Miller.
To outsiders, this is a real fatal blow.
From this moment on, superhero comics, or rather, Frank Miller, were already sitting in a lonely city, fighting alone, completely deprived of any possible living force support.
The next day, the New York Daily News published an opinion piece: "Is this the end of Flack Miller?"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Meng, your plan is crazy...... Joe Smith's voice sounded very tired on the phone.
"In this almost desperate situation, if you want to win a glimmer of life, you can only show weakness by nine points and lose eight hundred ......" Meng Qi's voice was also a little hoarse, "Now, in their opinion, I have abandoned my son and lost my position, and it is the best time to attack, but this is also the time when I have the most space and the best ability to show my skills...... As the saying goes, gain is loss, and loss is gain......"
"I hope so...... Although I don't understand what you're talking about......"
"Trust me, I can never go wrong......"
