“…The reporter misunderstood what I said. What I said and what I meant was this is the first time in history that Apple has teamed up with a creator to develop a digital comic book for iTunes. I know there have been many digital comic books way before ‘Mayhem,’ and I am aware of other digital comic books that have been sold on iTunes…

highlights and pictures from the panel

The Black Panel discussion @ the Hudlin Entertainment forums

“…Gibson portrayed himself as being interested in working with critics, because that would make his efforts stronger. And he was talking about wanting to really be in comics for the long haul, building something of some sort of real length and value. I still had doubts about the actual content that he was promoting, because I’m a cynical bitch after twenty years in comics, but I kept them to myself because, frankly, Gibson was talking a better game than people who have been in comics for decades, and this has always been a field where entrepreneurial Go-Get-It-ness has always had an impact…

“Um.
