Marvel's First Alien Series Announced!

Theft

I wonder: are they trying to get in touch with Disney's higher-ups to move forward with Jaime's Alien script by praising Marvel stuff ? Like they don't really feel all that great about it but think that greater goal justifies the means ? Not even kidding here

Nah, just shit taste.

As the outline of the script shows.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Just complete utter garbage.

I mean, they did post this:

So they can't be completely oblivious, can they ? Right ?

[BlueMarsalis79]

Bootlicker energy from them right now.

Can't think what FOC means?

Fairly Obvious Copying?

Sorry, couldn't resist

It could be all about access. We've already seen a case or two where movie reviewers who are counted on Rotten Tomatoes admit to giving films better scores than they deserve to preserve studio access and stay in their good graces. I guess it could be a similar case here. (But I don't know, so I'm not making an accusation here, just saying it happens.)

Enough folk.

My best guess is "free of charge" or "final order cutoff"

[Voodoo Magic]

Final Order Cutoff sounds right. Comic shops have to get those pre-orders in.

[Nukiemorph]

Curious why he tagged Fireteam Elite...

[Voodoo Magic]

Tie-in? Cross promotion? Or just trying to get some of that video game hashtag traffic and lure some gamers in who aren't necessarily reading perhaps.

Curious why he tagged Fireteam Elite...

He started doing that right after the game came out... I'm guessing he's using the game's success to promote himself even though his comics are not related to the game at all...

Final Order Cutoff sounds right. Comic shops have to get those pre-orders in.

That's what I was leaning towards based on the context
