If there was a just and merciful god at the center of our universe, this would mean we were finally free of Gully, the only creator in comics who can make Raven Gregory look like he actually has talent. But now he threatens work for hire? The horror! The horror…

Of course Big City is still soliciting the next arc of Omega One with art by Gully.

With Gully stating he’s not doing anything anymore with not only Big City but independent comic companies in general I’m glad I didn’t pre-order those two issues and waste money.

I’ll get my last issue of the first Omega One arc and no doubt say bye bye to Ant forever.

While I understand Gully’s financial need to work for hire, the sheer fact that he’s now gone through 3 companies with his own creation and each time burning the bridge with each of them just makes him an ill advised individual to hire for ANY project.

Big City has struck me as a puzzling combination of ambition and money to spend (those premier-publisher-style multipage ads in Previews every month) and amateurism (hard-to-read logo, weak ad design, now this badly written press release). A blustering fan-artist like Gully seemed a good fit with them.

Holy crap, I’ve had VCR instructions that were better composed and worded than that ANT press release. I love that they keep adding extra capitalized adjectives to each time they mention Ant. The next in line would have been “Super Karate Monkey Deathcar Sugar-Frosted Ant”.

I used to always read that “Canceled” list, too. Sometimes I wasn’t surprised, other times I was deeply saddened.

Poor Nexus, one day they will finally be able to finish that book up. It is almost depressing to think how many times the book has done this now.

Mark Waid talked briefly about the Godfather delays when he did the Word Balloon podcast a few weeks back. He didn't say what the problem was exactly, but that it was neither Boom!'s fault nor Paramount's. (Reading between the lines, I would guess there was a third party rights issue of some sort.) He was cautiously optimistic that things would be worked out at some point.

Was that Big City press release written in a foreign language and then poorly translated into English or something? My god, that thing’s awful.
