Comments on: Quesada Wizard Man of the Year http://www.comicsbeat.com/2006/11/16/quesada-wizard-man-of-the-year/ The News Blog of Comics Culture Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:34:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v= hourly 1 By: Alan Coil http://www.comicsbeat.com/2006/11/16/quesada-wizard-man-of-the-year/#comment-9899 Alan Coil Thu, 16 Nov 2006 22:18:22 +0000 http://www.comicsbeat.com/2006/11/16/quesada-wizard-man-of-the-year/#comment-9899 As much as I've seen the attitude lately that women should shut the h*** up about there not being enough women creators in comics, that sign might read: No Gurls Aloud. Don't mis-understand, I agree that there need to be more women-as-creators in comics, just that the arguments about women in the comics business have become circular. Many say, "Of course there aren't any women creators. Women don't read comics." "Of course we don't have any women at our summits. Women don't write our comics." And don't get me started about Wizard magazine.

As a for instance. Then again, what am I saying? Karen Berger? Jeanette Kahn? Diana Schutz? What the hell have they ever done for comics anyway? NO CHICKS ALLOWED!!!! (I sincerely hope I don't have to let people know which part of the comment contains sarcasm) Yeah, but the way the Wizard awards are set up now, Karen Berger would either have to change her gender to be “Man of the Year” or they’d have to change the name of the award.

"Then Quesada realised that journalists would buy their own copies anyway" "Then Quesada realised that people would buy all the spinoff series dealing with those problems anyway" Elayne: Probably. They seem to employ a few. Joe is allegedly even married to one. Keith:

"Suddenly Quesada realized that spending even a little money send review copies to journalists might not be a bad idea." "Suddenly Quesada realized that a miniseries that hinged on major players behaving completely out of character might prove problematic." Okay, I'm out of ideas. Anyone else?
