In your uninformed opinion. As I have already outlined the type of fanwank Johns is personally responsible for, and as that was the comparative basis by which Rob made the point, it is not in this case any form of fanwank.
Unless Webster's has really hit rock bottom, there's no official definition of "fanwank." But at least
one source indicates that (ironically, in the context of "Dr. Who," of all things) "fanwank" includes "any piece of work which reuses old monsters or characters purely in an attempt to stir feelings in the groins of sad anal fanboys."
I think bringing back the SpiderBuggy arguably fits that definition.
[Old Man Logan] Just another possible future for the X-verse. Are all of those equally canon? Of course not.
is on record as saying "Old Man Logan" is in continuity:
- The storyline fits very neatly into Marvel continuity and crosses over directly with my FANTASTIC FOUR run, and even subtly with [my other upcoming project] 1985. This is why we did this in the regular WOLVERINE title as apposed to a special mini-series.
But, having not read it, I can safely accept that you're just arguing to argue... you're still trying to pick a fight, like you a-l-w-a-y-s do.
No, Pro. I was just discussing something about the state of modern comics. Do I agree with your position here? Obviously not. But I've tried to explain myself without unduly attacking you. I just wish you could do the same thing.
As I said before, the story looks interesting and I plan on giving it a look (and maybe buying it) when it hits the trades (which is the case with every Marvel book I get these days). I enjoy a lot of Millar's work and hope this will be another example.
At the same time, however, I'm not going to delude myself into thinking that the man never puts any fanwank into his stuff.
