As a blogger myself, I do apologize for not linking to Chris’ original post. Everything in Comics Week goes through the normal copyediting process taht a magazine piece would — I believe we are the only onliencomcis publication that has an actual staff — and sometimes we add links AFTERWARDS to aid in the copyediting, because html makes things much harder to copyedit. I forgot to put it in later. No big conspiracy theory. We should link more, but because of the way CW is put together 00 like amagazine and not a blog — it takes a little more effort.

Anyway, the piece has been edited to link to Chris’s post.

And Johanna, I find your comments most enlightening, as always.

I’ve wondered the same thing about Alias’ comic title. And “all ages” to Mike Millar seems to mean sexism ok, gay BAD.

Lyle, that’s a shame to hear that his history has been whitewashed. He’s awfully visible for someone who’s been blacklisted. :)

Sigh. I’m just reminded that, if you try to Google out some information about Mike Miller’s rants on the DC boards you’ll only find pages claiming that Miller was blacklisted from the industry for openly talking about his Christianity, suggesting that there was an internet campaign seeking to ruin his career because they didn’t approve of his beliefs.

I’m also curious about the Victoria’s Secret Service title Alias has planned, because I thought Victoria’s Secret had a particular reputation for trademark infringement litigation and a team of super-powered super models (I may be mischaracterizing it as I googled and then didn’t go to any of the sites that mention it) doesn’t seem like such a stretch from underwear references. Nor is it likely to be all-ages.
