Jim Shooter He was about to create a page for the Marvel Comics Nº 100.

Jim ShooterOf which we have already talked about this website on more than one occasion, he is an American writer who has come to stand out both in the field of the occasional artist, and in those of the publisher and publicist of various comics, since he managed to leave his mark on the editorials as I am Wonderin which he was the head of writing since the late 70s to most of the 80s, A.D or Valiant.

However, his career was not free from all types of anecdotes, some of them worse like others, such as that relating to The house of ideasThat we are going to comment in this article, as you can see if you continue reading until the end.

In 2019, on the occasion of the celebration of the eighth anniversary of The house of ideasIt was decided to launch the copy Marvel Comics nº 1000whose cover can be seen pursuant to this paragraph, in which a large number of authors in the history of the editorial met to tell anything less than eighty -tre stories with readers’s favorite superheroes, in a total of 90 pages, for the modest price of $ 9.99.

It all started when Jim ShooterEven if I have no longer worked Wonderwas requested by the publisher Tom Breevort To take care of an adventure on a single page, with the protagonist of the Death DoctorWhich would see the light in the anniversary comic cited in the previous paragraph. Initially, the writer seemed to have no problems returning to work for his former editorial. And it must be recognized that having worked as an interesting affirmation for a comic in which other great swords of the publisher also collaborated, such as the cases of Al Ewing or Mark Waid.

Knowledge of the good relationship existing between Jim Shooter y Jim Starlin, Tom Breevort thought of the creator of Thanks To take care to draw the short comic with the protagonist of the Death Doctor. However, everything was truncated when the writer disconnected from the project was not agreed with the money they offered him for that work. Although there is no registration of what they offered him, which leaves us without data to be specular, since we do not know what was used to collect even Jim ShooterThe truth is that we have already clarified that it was an adventure on a single page, data that could influence the amount of money offered.

However, the truth is that Tom Breevort he regretted not being able to count Jim Shooter For a copy as indicated as it was Marvel Comics nº 1000Furthermore, he assured that he had nothing to do with this economic conflict, since, on the other hand, he would have been willing to put the difference requested by the pocket writer. However, it seems that, when he learned that there had been a disagreement, he was already late to cancel the mess, so he had no other choice than to accept the fact that that Jim Shooter It would be out of the project.

From a to Tom Breevort I had no other choice than to look for a substitute Jim Shooterhe thought Brian Michael Bendis To cover the hole. However, the candidate had to reject the offer because he had already signed exclusively A.DSo it was not allowed to write a single page for Wonder without falling into a violation of the contract.

Another author in which he was designed as a substitute Jim Shooter era Mark MillarBut the truth is that it could not be, since it was working Netflix And his contract, as in the case Brian Michael BendisNor does any exemption allowed. However, it seems that these conditions have had changes, since it seems that Mark Millar will return to Wonder This same year without stopping working for the platform.

It should be noted that in the seventy -seven number of Marvel Comics nº 1000 There is a single pay adventure with the main enemy of The Four Fantasticunder the title Doom alonewritten and designed by Jason Latourin which his solitary greatness is explored, as well as his relationship with death (at least everything that can be explored in a comic of such a short duration), which we completely reproduce in this paragraph. However, we cannot avoid asking us for the question if the adventure would have been very different from having been written by Jim Shooter. Unfortunately, we will never know.
