Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada<\/strong> simply says that as fans we sit here time and time again and watch a movie or TV show fail and wonder why they don’t put comic book people in charge. People who actually knows what the hell is going on. Well hello 2011 because that’s what Quesada has planned. In an interview with Comic Book Resources Quesada had a lot to say;<\/div>\n
\n
There\u2019s too much stuff to list, and so much of it is still in the developmental stages, so I wouldn\u2019t be able to talk about it anyway. What I can say is that the things on my \u201cTo do\u201d list extend way beyond 2011, just as they did on my list when it was only publishing. It\u2019s an amazing new world here at Marvel, we have so many incredible doors that have opened up to us, but even I\u2019m floored at how quickly and smoothly things are happening. Not a week goes by where I\u2019m not floored by some new opportunity that has come our way. The toughest part for me is keeping it all bottled up inside.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
But, the one thing I can talk about is what the future looks like for our creators. If you look down the line \u2014 and Dan Buckley\u2019s been instrumental in this, as has been Alan Fine \u2014 you will see that more and more of our comic creators have been getting involved in the Marvel stuff outside of the comics world. And that\u2019s as it should be. Back in the day, so many of us in the creative community would sit back and watch someone produce a TV show or a movie based on a comic book and see it flop miserably because those people didn\u2019t understand what made those characters work. We\u2019d sit there going, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t they hire comic book people?\u201d Well, that\u2019s what Marvel is doing. Slowly but surly, you\u2019ll be seeing names you recognize getting involved in other aspects of\u00a0Marvel Entertainment. Just look at the \u201cUltimate\u00a0Spider-Man\u201d animated show we\u2019re working on. The creative team consists of Brian Bendis, Paul Dini and Men of Action. We\u2019ll be announcing some more stuff down the road, too, with more comic book folks. So stay tuned, it\u2019s going to be fun.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
It won\u2019t be long before you\u2019re not just reading about the Marvel Universe, you\u2019re going to be living in it!<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Quesada was also asked if Marvel would continue to be a comic book company or if it would become more of a movie \u00a0company, here’s what he said;<\/div>\n
\n
Let me make this as perfectly clear as I can: Publishing is the life\u2019s blood of what we do. While other areas of Marvel may make more revenue, I can\u2019t think of a division that is more important to us right now. That\u2019s not to say that Publishing doesn\u2019t make a tremendous amount of revenue, it\u2019s just that when you compare it to a major motion picture, it tends to get over shadowed. But from a consistency basis, it\u2019s incredibly important, and from a content point of view, it is the end all, be all of what Marvel is.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
Within our corporate structure, I always define Publishing as the hub. It is the \u201cIdea Factory.\u201d All of the great stories and ideas for Marvel are created within the hub and then spoke out to the other divisions. The stories and characters you will see in Marvel\u2019s animation, television and movies, while altered to fit the medium they\u2019re being presented in, will have all started in one way or another inside the pages of a Marvel Comic. Publishing is where all the ideas are generated, it\u2019s the source & inspiration for every other aspect of Marvel. Sure, we can take ideas that were generated in\u00a0Iron Man\u00a0comics over the years and distill them into an Iron Man movie and generate significantly more revenue than the comic could, but ultimately that movie wouldn\u2019t exist if it wasn\u2019t for the comic book.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Quesada is thinking like a fan and a comic book guy because without the comic books Marvel doesn’t have their next big thing and they will eventually have to move on to new properties so this is a good sign Marvel will always be in the comic book biz.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
