What happened with Marko Djurdjevic? (Toronto Fan Expo)

[JJ Fresh]

And here I thought JMS's Thor work was quality stuff. Poor showing on his part and real shame that we won't see more of his great cover work (even though some of his covers of late have looked to be on autopilot).

That would make sense based on his view of what Marvel wanted from him.

After showing the audience numerous mock-ups for his redesign of Lady Bullseye — mocking editors’ comments in high-pitched tones — Djurdjevic added, “When they would not interfere with my direction, they would get results that would amaze even me.”

Wow - mocking editors’ comments in high-pitched tones? Really? This seems surreal.

[BriRedfern]

Ouch.

Other than this, did he say anything bad? I read the thread before the link, and it all seemed pretty mild to me...

[Patch]

Great artist.
Hope he finds work in comics that he enjoys.

[BriRedfern]

Also, I thought this was about Edvin Biuković, who I thought was being very talkative for a dead guy. I think I combined he and Darko Macan to come up with Marko Djurdevic.

Isn't the brain a funny thing?

He was basically slinging his bosses at Marvel through the mud. He also mentioned not ever being paired with writers he liked for interior work. The rest of what he said wasn't pretty either.

JMS has written some of my favorite comics stories. I loved Thor, Midnight Nation, Rising Stars, etc... So I can't agree with him there.

Also, who goes out on a public panel and talks like that about his old bosses? Pretty sad.

[BriRedfern]

Yeah, he clearly didn't like Marvel editorial and did not like who they were pairing him up with. Still, there seems to be a lot of supposed butt hurt over this. I know a lot of people here are really vested in the creator-bashing-butt-hurt industry, but usually it is contained to just one or two threads and then gets overturned on hypocritical grounds.

The way he chose top do this was pretty lame. Marvel was sandbagged.
