Well perhaps she should, because all I ever hear about her is that she's pissed off this editor or that publisher. She has an attitude and a mouth that writes checks that her talent woefully can't cash. We don't CARE that you got bumped by Vertigo, Alex. We care that you mock an industry so many of us want to get into. Do you KNOW how many of us would kill to be able to sit in front of a Vertigo Editor? To be offered an opportunity to write a pitch as you were? Well done for turning it down. If it was anything like your recent work it would have started well and then sailed downhill as once more you got bored and started playing with your camera instead. Smoke #1 and half of #2 was good, btw. I'm making no comments on Vertigo or Ms Bond - they're just doing what they've done for years. For someone who claims to be so 'streetwise' - you're remarkably naive. Or just a sore loser. I'd love to hear Ms Bond's side to this fiasco. Well done to Brian Wood for being the voice of reason. D-List creator in 'pissed at editor for not treating her special' shocker. This news is old.
