Like Stan Used To Do! Creator Nicknames
69 Posted on Mar 23, 2009 in articles by Josh Flanagan |Over at Paul Cornell's blog, the House of Awkwardness, he asks whatever happened to the nicknames from the old House of Ideas? The folks in comments are a bit ahead of us, but I think we can outdo them. You're clever folk, aren't you?
We're gonna stick to Paul's rule: no negativity. You want to take shots at creators, please don't do it here. This is for fun, not figuring out how cleverly we can knock them down. But I shouldn't even have to say that right?
"Manic" Jim McCann? Robert "The Kid" Kirkman? Joe Casey "at the bat"?
Clearly, I am no good at this.
Comments
Actually, let me change that last one to "Mos Def" Jeph Loeb

They're either committed to delivering the original story, or she's part of the plan for the new Ultimate Universe.

So let me just ask; is Cornell going to try and use these nicknames or suggest them to the writers/artists?
I would love to see all of these nicknames on the actual comic in the future.
