Well, at least the question “Do banned Marvel employees continue to visit this site?” has been answered. Hi Steve!
After three warnings Gerard has now been banned. The discussion was ongoing in the admin thread before Wacker decided to hack back into the site and post. I’m glad he’s concerned with rules since he just broke another one. More on Wacker in the Twitter post.
I think Wacker should be allowed back, then the comments section of these stories might actually be good…
Was #9 ever answered?

I wonder what the proess for putting yourself on I cover is.
After ASM 668, they should have a Carlie Cooper variant.
Meh I wouldn’t personally spend that much money on something like this. Ok maybe if I was a multi millionare using 100 dollar bills as toilet paper id consider it then since at that point your pretty much inventing reasons to spend your money.
that sounds like a personal pot-shot. how is that in any way allowed. is it ok as long as you put a little smiley face at the end.
That’s supposed to be Dan Slott? Add about a hundred more pounds and take off all that hair, and then maybe we can talk. 😈
Slott confirmed on twitter that this story was made up by bleeding cool.
That looks like a fake cover to me. If it’s not, well, good for Slott I guess.
If I had the money to spend, I would do that. Who doesn’t want to be on a cover of amazing spider-man. That would be awesome. Would be right up there with owning amazing fantasy 15 and amazing spider-man 1.
If its true, good for Slott it must be a great feeling.. that being said I dont like how you can buy yourself on a cover, especially in that pose.
But again if its true congrats Slott you have gained 20+ spider-geekness points =P.
+2 for me on posting a comment about the points.
What the…is that really true?
If I had the money id do it
there were a few people who could afford the 4,000
Can you say epic fail?…..this is stupid. I hope this cover is a joke. you couldnt get me to buy that POS art work.
