“Janelle Siegel”

Long live Marvel North!

Over at the Newsarama blog, it was recently announced that Janelle Siegel has been hired as the new assistant editor in DC’s Batman office, working with Mike Marts.

What nobody realizes, though, is that Janelle Siegel doesn’t exist. In reality, “Janelle Siegel” is Jeanine Schaefer, Mike’s former and my current Associate Editor, in clever disguise. We’ve spared no expense setting up this clever cover identity for Agent J9.

As my operative, she’s gone back undercover into the DC offices, using her extensive working knowledge of the building and its operations to locate and claim the empty editorial office I claimed as “Marvel North” a week or two ago.

Once she’s in position, Agent J9 will give the signal, and our troops will move in to occupy the office. I believe some of our freelance creators have already set up a beachhead there, where they’re smoking, talking shop, and knocking back beers. This will be the vanguard of our occupying force.

Ha! Ha! Those fools don’t suspect a thing! Soon, our proud Marvel North banner will fly high over the territories, a ray of hope in an otherwise cruel world!

I know I can trust you to keep this all under your hats. More reports from the front lines as they become available.

Sic Simper Tyrannus!

Brilliant Plan indeed!
You can trust me to keep this plan secret!

MWUAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHA!! Marvel North Forever!

Make a silly smile at the tyrants?
I didn't know Tyrannus was sick. Doesn't he have those orange skinned guys to take care of him anymore?

We will fight them in the Chili-parlours, we will fight them in the doughnut Delis.
For we fight for this unspotted land, this proud nation, this hope, this jewel, this dream, this wondrous isle, this Engl(ahem), .....this Marvel North.

All hail Good King Tom, and in the immortal words of The Clash: "Death or Glory!" ;-)

Yeah, I think you've been invaded by DC. There are three ads on this page alone for "DC Comics Super Heroes Filmation Cartoons" on DVD. Yeah, they're paying for the ad space, but damn if this doesn't look like a DC blog.

You dirty Skrull.

Worst Marvel Comic Ever
That would be ALPHA FLIGHT vol.1# 29 to 130,Annuals # 1 to 2,Specials # 1 to 4;ALPHA FLIGHT vol.2# 1 to 20,Special# 1,Annual 1998;ALPHA FLIGHT vol.3#1 to 12.Why because that was not ALPHA FLIGHT.Second--they BUTCHERED PUCK( who was born a DWARF and is almost TWICE AS OLD AS HEATHER HUDSON ),TALISMAN( whose Mystic Head Band CAN'T BE REMOVED,but was ) and HEATHER HUDSON was turned into a Super-Hero ( she is Canada's RICK JONES or WYATT WINGFOOT ).Third---NO ONE UNDID THE DEATHS( Guardian and Sasquatch ) THAT IDIOT John Byrne CAUSED.
