Sam Humphries Signs Exclusively To DC Comics Ahead Of Rebirth
This hasn’t been announced yet.
But it will be soon. Possibly tonight.
Sam Humphries, writer for Star-Lord and Weirdworld for Marvel Comics, co-creator of Jonesy and Citizen Jack, and who rose to fame on the back of his small press breakout ode to annual love, Our Love Is Real, looks to have taken the DC Comics shilling, and has signed an exclusive deal with the publisher.
This is likely to just cover his work-for-hire output, so his Image and Boom work should remain unaffected.
What books he will work on, and when he will leave his Marvel comics, well those kind of details I’m sure will be filled in soon…

>>80018117 He shamelessly used Jessica Jones show's success to promote his Powers show putting bumpers that said "From the creator of Jessica Jones" which isn't a lie in a way but still misleading.
He also posted and reblogged his name in the GotG movie credits like crazy for awhile even though he was just there under the consultant credits and didn’t do shit in that movie.
So yeah I can see him promoting himself like crazy and riding on the success of people who do better with his characters or on something he really has nothing to do with much.

Why wouldn't they announce this with the other exclusives though? Has Humphries even written for DC before? This seems fishy.

But Bendis is keeping her anyways so either they won't break up or this is just one of your retarded ideas that never happen.

Is it true that Sam Humphries is leaving to DC? Bendis must be furious. He must be livid and feeling betrayed and hurt. Expect the Bendis fury to be unleashed on all crap dogfucker did in retaliation. Say goodbye to nigger sister or Black Vortex shit. Expect the new Starlord origins to be retconned the day he leaves.

> Maybe I'm paranoid, but everyday I grow more anxious as a future where I'm in the minority for thinking the comic is ridiculous becomes more likely. Personally I found it funny in the first place because while it was satirical it had just enough plausibility that it rang somewhat true.
Is that what you're worried about? That in a few years vegisexuals and mineral fuckers will be a mainstream thing? Because frankly I wouldn't be surprised but to me that's just fucking hilarious.

>>80034395 not the whole vegetable fucking and mineral fucking thing specifically, but the whole "You can love anything, and and everything and anyone who thinks you're love is wrong is just a hater and you tell them to shut up."
It sounds good on the surface, but then you've got the serious fucking deviants and you can't say anything bad about them because they have the support of the public.
Again, I don't know, maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Methinks he got out because Marvel wasn't going to promote X-Men like crazy, he saw more profit on being the GotG writer as GotG is a hot franchise right now so he will ride on James Gunn's success and see his GotG sales spike up momentarily and say it was because of him.

>>80029552 Qell he got Ultimate Kitty on USM because she was Peter's girlfriend then they broke up but she never left.
Then she became Spider-Girl, and then the Red hood, then Shadowcat and she dropped all of those names all together.
In the end she settled for Kong who mysteriously looks like Bendis (and who Bendis reintroduced to the main universe and he's mysteriously and adult now, wow)
It's the same shitty story except she is taking the Star-Lady name, maybe later she becomes Nova Prime and reinstates the Nova corps or some shit, lol.

Also you have a point, even Abnett wrote him like a retard in Guardians 3000 (albeit less annoying) and he went and created his own Peter Quill just not to deal with Bendis-Lord.
Although I have to say he made Rocket smart again in the latest GoI issue, even Groot.
