NEWSARAMA has a story on Marvel's new wave of fan fiction. There's going to be a new Epic-imprint and in a few days Marvel will open it's doors to accept any kind of submission from writers and artists. Even though it's SUPPOSED to be a unique label it's gonna be part of the old Marvel universe with all it's ridiculous heroes and allmighty gods running around in their underwear. Here's what Marvel itself had to say on this:

"EPIC Comics is a new Marvel imprint under which we will publish comics written and illustrated by YOU. Anybody will have the opportunity to submit work for consideration by EPIC's submissions editor.

EPIC enjoys more favorable economic parameters than Marvel (and other publishers for that matter) so we can publish books that others can't."

Publish book that others can't, is that with or without Wolverine and Spider-Man? Can we show titties, people doing drugs and someone peeing on the president's head? Or are you just trying to buy some cheap concepts? You're just a toy company, Marvel. You're producing action figures and comics about Action Figures. You know shit about art. It's not like people have to go crazy for the opportunity to work for the holy royal highness of trash culture. See, there are publishers all over the world and they're putting out a lot of comics THAT YOU CAN'T PUBLISH BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL FOLLOWING THE SAME BORING PRINCIPLES AND ALL THAT! Fuck Captain America! Fuck the current war propaganda you're putting up in comic books for eight years old kids!

Look at the ridiculous amount of money they're offering for giving away all the rights at the door. 500 bucks and that' it, right!
