The rage returns as we wonder what the Hell Marvel is thinking with the recent comments from the VP of Sales David Gabriel and the Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso, blaming a sales slump on diversity and artists (basically everything and everyone NOT responsible). We also talk Iron Fist and an almost awkward Show-And-Tell. SUBSCRIBE: RSS| iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher CONTACT: Twitter | Facebook | Email
Jim and Adam had originally planned to talk all things Iron Fist: his creation by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane, to the critically-acclaimed run by writers Ed Brubaker & Matt Fraction with artist extraordinaire David Aja, all the way to the recently-release Marvel/Netflix series. We were going to talk about all that, but something came-up. Namely some people's comments came-up, and those were by both Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso and SVP-Sales David Gabriel. Yup, this is the first episode of GCP to weigh-in on an internet controversy about the comics industry, and the guys set the rant-o-meter to 11 on it! The Graphic Content Podcast is a frank, sometimes NSFW podcast on comics whether it be characters, different books, or (as it is in this case) news about the comics industry. The opinions expressed in this episode are solely those of Jim (@jimmmers) & Adam (@AdamSMessinger), and do not necessarily reflect those of the comics stores they frequent or work at. With that disclaimer out of the way, we hope you enjoy their seat-of-their-pants viewpoints on what was said at Marvel's Retailer Summit last week, and their opinions on what the Mouse's House of Ideas should focus on going forward from it. Remember, GCP is available to you in a variety of formats. Download it from Podbean, the podcast's host site. Or from iTunes, where if you rate/review it we'd be eternally grateful. And you can pretty much download it from a myriad of other podcatchers like Stitcher and Soundcloud. Beyond that, we'd just love to hear what you thought of the episode. Either hit us up on the guys' individual twitter accounts, or the podcast's which can be found @graphicpodcast.
