Priest back at Marvel

>>91702944
>Marvel finally offered Priest a non-black character
are these the end times

>>91702944
>five issues

Just short enough for Priest to get another monthly ongoing at DC

I was hoping he'd get another book with Deathstroke back to monthly, but I can't care about the Shithumans. Just a mini though.

When you lay it out point blank like he did in that interview they either had to put up or shut up

and people think DC isn't dying

If anyone can make them interesting, it's Priest. It's interesting this is a retelling of their origins: is it going to be the launching point for a new ongoing or status quo?

>>91702944
Inhumans could use a good writer like Priest, but 5 issues for an origin story doesn't sound much exciting

>>91703005
>being this casual

all of that was before BP and he has said after that they only offered him black guys

>>91703005
Priest has written a SHIT TON of non-black characters for Marvel AND DC. It wasn't until around the time he changed his name to Priest and got Black Panther that he became a "black writer" and started getting handed black characters.

>>91703005
He's referencing how Marvel kept offering him gigs on black characters only for the past few years and how he kept refusing.

>>91703019

just something to do with their history for new readers.
considering Inhumans backstory was spread out over so many books when it was coming together.

>>91702944

You got me, Marvel

>>91702944
DC btfo. Good job on giving exclusives to Humphries and Merino but letting Priest waste time at the competition.

>>91703036
He wrote deadpool while he was writing black panther

>>91703065
That's neat. Inhumans history is WEIRD AS FUCK and it feels nothing that's been Nuhumans has been 1/100th of the appeal of that. Like their weird Kree offshoot genetic experiment origin or the quasi-religious Terrigenesis or the entire slave caste of the Alpha Primitives or the fact Black Bolt was raised in a silent chamber without human contact until he was an adult and they told him he should be king.

Lots of material that gets ignored for "I'm basically an X-Man, but different movie rights!"

>>91703111
For a 5 issue mini series? Are Marvel shills so retarded? Priest is the next DC exclusive you delusional.

>>91702944
>Each issue of Inhumans: Once and Future Kings will also feature a two-page back-up story about Lockjaw by writer Ryan North and an unnamed artist.

Nice to see him writing something new, but I'm surprised he came back after all that bullshit he lived through:

>Finally promoted to editor in 1984, one week the freelancer checks were late. Several freelancers congregated in the tiny office I shared with my assistant, inker Keith Williams (who is also African American). Denys Cowan, a close friend, had parked his gear in there, as had Ron Wilson. I think Denys was making some phone calls while he waited, and Dwayne Turner, pipsqueak intern now monster artist, dropped by to say hello to Denys. Kyle Baker dropped off some TRANSFORMERS pages, while M.D. "Doc" Bright popped in to say hi while showing off new pages of the latest IRON MAN issue. Mark Beachum and his incredible gal pal Kelli arrived, amused at the crowd in the office, and squeezed in to drop off his pages for the ASM Annual. Finally, Michael Davis, James Fry, J.R. Jr. and Bob Layton wandered by. We had the stereo on. It turned into a little party— a little check-wait party.

>By the time the Marvel staffer came by my office and saw it jammed with black people, it was too difficult to see Layton as he was farther back in the room chatting Denys up about HERCULES or something. But, the next morning, my boss appeared in my doorway and, embarrassed as hell, said others had raised a concern that I was, "firing all the white people and replacing them with black people." He felt the claim had no merit, but still, when several people he trusted had come to his office saying I was having, "a meeting" with and attempting to "organize" the black creators at Marvel, he felt it his responsibility to look into it.

>Twenty years later, it is still the most insulting moment of my entire life. My first impulse was to turn off my light, grab my bag, and walk out of Marvel forever. Clearly, these people were too stupid to live. Instead, I quietly assured my boss that I was not, "firing all of the white people and replacing them with black people."

>people are now going to pretend the shithumans are good characters just because Priest is writing them

>>91703150
He could've wrote a 5 issue mini at DC you retard but nooo. incompetent buffoons like Johns give exclusives to butt buddies like Humphries and Orlando and then brings in expired shit like Dixon. Choke on a dick, you reatard.

>Relieved, the EIC left. I threw some things into my briefcase and prepared to walk out. Instead, I wrote him a detailed memo, subject: WHITE SUPREMACY UPDATE, identifying every black artist I was using, what I was using them for, what the duration of the assignment was, and so forth, just so the next time someone comes into the EIC's office alarmed about a "meeting" in my office, the EIC would have something to show. I also included Bob Layton on that list, "...but he (Layton) was so light-skinned he fooled me, and, besides, he knew all the words to the EWF songs."

>At the end of the memo, I said, "They were waiting for their paychecks. Payroll was running late that day and they needed some place to hang out. If they were hanging out in my office, it's possibly because that's one of the few places they felt comfortable and welcome, and not because I'm black but because we all came along together in this business and were all friends."

>I told my boss, not a day went by when I didn't see several white guys congregating in editors' offices there at Marvel, and I never felt "compelled" to "look into" it. My boss apologized, he was deeply embarrassed. He deserved to be. It was an incredibly stupid thing to do, but Marvel was a veritable House of Stupid Things Done in those days. And these were liberal intellectuals.

He is already writing a stellar ongoing of a well-liked character, anon.

5 issues mini for disliked characters is nothing compared.

>>91703150
So he wrote his best shit at Marvel

>people pretending Priest is stupid enough to sign an exclusive with either company

Once he's trapped in like that they'd only give him black books to write. At least now he can say no.

My dear ignorant fuckface, Priest is doing a big DC event with Abnett currently.

>>91702993
Which "that" interview? He's been saying this since 2003

>>91703167

He can say no as an exclusive too. Hell, he can write a clause in the contract that says he won't be given any black hero ongoings. DC simply didn't give him an exclusive because they're incompetent.

>>91703240
His Deathstroke is superior to any Marvel crap, shill.

Lol

Why are DC fans acting like DC weren't also only offering Priest black books? He's written a bunch of non black books at Marvel

>>91702944
All these plebs saying mini series are bad.

Fuck off. This is good news. Instead of some shit like anoucing a foolkiller ongoing that won't even last that long. A lot of mini series end up being better than ongoings. So i think this is good

>>91703234
and he probably will

calm your company wars autism and be glad he's writing more stuff

>>91703278
>DC simply didn't give him an exclusive because they're incompetent.
They probably did but he is a big enough name that he can make a better career without it.

>>91703296
>Why are DC fans acting like DC weren't also only offering Priest black books?
The guys only came back to writing because DC didn't offer him a black character. Even he was surprised.

>>91703369
the event here being Lazarus Contract? Because that's just a crossover, not an event

>>91703013
^This

>>91703342
Moon Knight is far better than batKing

>>91703296
the point is that DC corrected their mistakes first by calling him back that last time and asking him to do something different while Marvel is just piggybacking

>>91703394
That's why it's cancelled again...

>>91703357
Better than the drones, that they don't have brain at all, only tongue, for lick Marvel's ass.

>>91703394
I really hope King turns shit around after The Button

>>91703305
>be glad he's writing more stuff
Why should I be glad he's writing Inhumans after Marvel has butchered them completely in the past few years? I really enjoyed the Jenkins/Lee series, but the Inhumans have been ruined in the past few years. I would've much rather preferred Priest on new title at DC or in the WIldstorm imprint.

>>91703383
He never completely went away

He contributed to the Deadpool wedding issue

>>91703402
>Marvel is just piggybacking
And shoving more Inhumans down our throats.

>>91703394
>ANOTHER rehash of Ellis' Moon Knight

Ellis ended up causing an enormous damage to Moon Knight.

>>91703419
because Priest is a good writer and this story has nothing to do with present-day Inhumans?

>>91703411
They're actually just like the drones. Retarded company loyalists with nothing but shit spewing out their mouths.

>>91703402

He did, but this is not in any way a rehash of the Ellis run(not that you can rehash a plotless 6 issue run) and it is also much better.

Shit grammar, indeed.

That's not grammar, that's spelling, you tard.

>>91703525
Racist as hell. Masks are down intern.

>>91703497
some black authors like writing black characters

>>91703511
Seems like Marvel listened and gave him a non black comic too, idiot.

>>91703497
I'm sure David Walker will start being less pleased with only getting offered black characters eventually as well

it seems like it's already happening with Ta-Nehisi Coates

>>91703546
>DC gives him a Deathstroke ongoing
>Marvel a shit mini
Shame.

>>91703543
Irrelevant. DC went out of their way to get a black writer on a black character.

>>91703531
lol how was that racist at all

>>91703497
the issue was that Priest did not want black characters and yet that's all he was being offered not that black writers shouldn't write black characters if it's what they want

>>91703563

Coates is doing all Black Panther spin-offs.
I'm sure if he wanted to write something else, Marvel would let him.

and with Walker, hes doing that Occupy Avengers book which has some non-blacks in it.

>>91703005
In the '80s he said he was treated as just another writer and editor, but by the '00s he was only offered black characters.

His last straw at Marvel came when they told him they were going to change "Captain America and the Falcon" to a solo book starring Falcon.

At Big Two companies if they don't let you write white men they don't let you write their big headliners.

>>91703574
>again that bad grammar

>>91703620
I don't know, though. Coates is an X-Men fan. That's what he really cares about, that was the gateway into comics for a lot of people his age. If they were willing to let him write something X-Men related he'd jump for joy, and even I would take him over the people they have writing the X-books now...

He doesn't mind writing black characters but he didn't want to just write black characters

>>91703337
They only offered him Deathstroke after offering him a black character (I can't remember which one) and Priest said he would only come back if he was offered a non-black character, so the editor came up with Deathstroke.

>>91703019
Dunno, so far Royals is kinda fun in a cartoony way.
Not too much has happened as of yet, but Ewing has a ton of stuff cooking, I think. There is far too much concentrated to not have ramifications, especially with that future vision he presents.

>>91702965
Marvel does work for hire contracts. He isn't dumb enough to sign one of those exclusive deals, so his pay-rate will depend entirely on how well it sells.

Put it this way, the biggest star character ever written by a woman at Marvel was Daredevil by Ann Nocenti, and that was over 25 years ago.

They mostly assign women to write women, black people to write black people, but they don't have many women or minority stars, so they don't get the plum characters.

Is he staying on Deathstroke as well?

It's Priest on Black Bolt.
I'm sure as shit reading this.

>>91703278
Does that make Marvel incompetent since they didn't give him an exclusive?
