My favorite typo from the latest edition of Publishers Weekly Comics Week is in the article, “Manga, NPR and Direct Market Crossovers.”
It’s in one of the later paragraphs, and it’s minor, but it’s just so snark-able:
“Even more unusual is what Liang calls direct market crossovers— usually superhero titles—that sell in bookstores in far greater number than anyone expected. Liang says books like House of Men and X-Men: Apocalypse are selling extremely well in the bookstore market.”
What is this intriguing new Marvel book, House of Men? Has Marvel reconsidered its policy of not making gay characters leads in its mainstream books? Or, after Joe Quesada’s remarks on women creators, has Marvel just revised “House of Ideas” to reflect current staffing?
What? I warned you it was cheap.
