As far as Marvel goes-- I can't help but feel very betrayed. They duplicated the incentive cover--and preempted my upcoming one--and even used the "terrorist fist jab." Clearly those in the "house of ideas" looked at what I did and found inspiration.

I hear that they're even doing a story similar to the one I did four years back, where an image-altering villain disguises himself as the President (in my story the Impostor replaced President Bush and took his place for a speech--in theirs the Chameleon, the shape-shifting villain, is going to spoil a speech being given by President-Elect Obama). The whole mess just feels really underhanded. I feel betrayed and, frankly, ripped off and in the real world--the one outside our funnybook bubble--Marvel will spin themselves as these great innovators who came up with this terrific publicity stunt--instead of the thieves they are.
