Surprisingly, “Marvel_b0y” disappeared the day before April Fool’s Day (I thought he/she at least will be uncovered that day, by Marvel as they catch the “mole” or revealed as a failed marketing ploy) AND his/her last post wasn’t about Marvel or comics at all. I think it was Michael Ian Black.

I can believe it, especially since Rich Johnston spoiled it on Monday.

So by “teamed up with” you mean “bribed to subvert the whole social networking thing and waste everyone’s time”, I suppose. ;-)

Lovely.

But that lives Marvel_b0y out in the cold. A Marvel insider, speaking on conditions of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of fanboy panties, said that “Marvel_b0y has been dealt with. He’s not Kinsey’s brother.” Evidently a viral campaign that didn’t go quite as well as planned, this one can be chalked up to as flinging stuff against the wall. Some of it sticks, some doesn’t.

Wait…”dealt with” means they realized it was a shite marketing campaign or it means that it was a real transgressor that was caught and dealt with?

“Perhaps I’m misremembering — I seem to recall a Kevin Smith-written Daredevil issue 0. ”

While we have had some single comics on the web, this is our first orginal webcomic serialization that will run thru SECRET INVASION, not just a one-off issue.

“Marvel’s first original webcomic”

Perhaps I’m misremembering — I seem to recall a Kevin Smith-written Daredevil issue 0.

“speaking on conditions of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of fanboy panties”

I love that. Did you coin it? We should all start using it… chanting it at conventions, when people are being to uptight. This makes me happy. :)
