This is really quite funny.

Now just to make sure we have fun disclosure here its fair to say I'm not really a fan of JMS' comic writing and I've never seen Babylon 5. I've rarely found it (his comic writing) any more than over blown nonsense. 2000ad is my favourite comic ever and I've posted over 7000 times on a forum dedicated to it... so you know it could be said I'm bias and all that... but doesn't this make JMS seem a little silly. Hasn't he rather taken this a bit too seriously? Isn't there an danger in treating JMS as any judge how a story can be told (uh catty Taylor)... anyway as I say I'm bias so decide that JMS needs to cool his boots for ya self.

I think it's very important for professionals to address everything that's ever said about them online. Their fans will always prefer to see them doing that than producing more work.

I was aiming for passive-agression. How'd I do?

More facetious than anything...

Know something's true worth by looking at its enemies.

It's heartening that JMS hasn't let the Oscar stop him from making an arsehole of himself - a lot of celebrities just hire people to manage their online presence for them, so it's good to see him still making a personal effort.
I see where JMS is coming from in that Moore used too few pages to tell a story so he ended up with all those gaping holes and unanswered questions about character's histories, which is likely why JMS had to fill them in for all those Watchmen characters so that the story would finally work and make sense.

I hate using gifs to reply to things it makes me feel like an internet sod however any excuse for Chang...

Internet sod.

"J. Michael Straczynski - you've created a ground-breaking TV sci-fi series, worked on screenplays for blockbusters and Oscar-nominated movies and worked extensively on some of the biggest titles in the comics business. What do you like to do when you're not working?"

"Well. Bob, I like to pursue fairly obscure mentions of me online and post increasingly vitriolic rants on other peoples' Facebook feeds."

I think the fact that he does appear to have been quoted out of context makes it even funnier.

He's suffering from Grant Morrison's syndrome,the poor lad.

I loved his initial spider-man run before he was disrupted by civil war.

I dunno.

We tried toget some pro 2k PR by invoking the holy a moore in his wedding attire no less.
We had some fun at american expense
Said american bit back

Think we're all winners. I'm sure in PR terms more US readers heard of 2k than Uk people suddenly had a lazarus moment and realised what a god JMS was.

It's all good fun and I think it shows what a great job having 2k pr is doing.

Deep down lets be honest there's more creativity in the first 5 years of 2k than the first 50 of marvel or DC.

The guy got trolled and I'm surprised something like this has gone up from the official source

Regardless of what I think of him or Moore I think he's got every right to say fuck off and you know he's only aware of this as someone has told him... most likely Bleeding Cool attempting to stir up a shit storm

I enjoy Jams writing, on the whole but I can't say as I'm a fan of the man himself. I once had a fairly heated exchange with him in an online chat-interview thing in the nineties and got chucked out. (It was over B5 fan fiction, as I recall - JMS wouldn't allow it at all (on fan sites or in fancies) in case it messed up his continuity and I thought this was bullsh*t.)

.

That said, I'd love to see a JMS Future Shock in the Prof - and I'd love to see him achieve this by doing a Gerald Wiley...

Oops - apologies for the d.p.

Agreed.
