Marvel oli kiinnostunut Salatuista Sodista.

Jim Shooter kertoi äskettäin että häneen oltiin yhteydessä k.o. sarjakuvasta, koska missään paperissa ei lukenut että hänen tapahtumaa vaten luomansa hahmot (esim. Titania ja Hämähäkkimiehen musta asu josta tuli myöhemmin Venom) kuuluvat Marvelille.
Shooter sanoi Marvelille että hän kirjoitti tarinan Marvelilla työskennellessään ja ne kuuluvat siksi Marvelille, laittakaa paperit tulemaan niin hän allekirjoittaa sen.
Mutta Marvel vaatimalla vaati että he haluavat maksaa hänelle 10 000 dollaria.

Koko tarina miehen suusta:
“This one clown called me from Marvel, he wasn’t an editor or anything.
He was some executive in property management, which is a little odd. And he asked me if I wanted to write a novelization of Secret Wars. And I said, well, I’d consider it.

So he sends me an offer, and the offer came with a contract, and the contract was like this thick. And almost all of it was a retroactive work for hire. And it covered every possible conceivable way, if the court doesn’t support that, your children have to go to jail.
This is terrible and it’s just a draconian giant work for hire thing. And then there are two pages of what the deal was, and the deal was unacceptable anyway.

I was like, no I’m not doing this, it wasn’t even a real offer. I guess maybe he thought I was desperate or something.
So I turned him down, and then I get a call from his boss, David Bogart and he’s some executive vice president of something, to do with the properties.

And he apologized for this lower down guy who was trying to con me into signing over prior…
He said, well I can’t really talk about it, but we would like you to sign a work for hire and, I said fine, send it to me, I did it work for hire. It’s yours, just send me the papers.

And he said no, we’re prepared to pay you ten thousand dollars to sign your name.
I said you don’t have to pay me anything, I know it was work for hire, what am I going to do, lie about?
But they didn’t have a single piece of paper that said that they owned the Beyonder, Titania, Volcana any other characters that we put in there, the new Spider-Woman for that matter, and the whole black costume thing, nothing, and no piece of paper to say they owned it.
I said you don’t have to pay me, send me the damn paper, I’ll sign it.
He said “take the money, dummy”.
I said all right I’ll take it.”

Midnight Sons oli Marvelin maagisia ja toispuoleisia uhkia kuten vampyyreja vastaan taisteleva joukko.
Mukana oli mm. Aaveajaja sekä Blade.

Nyt Marvel on julkaisemassa uuden roolipelin nimeltään Midnight Suns, jossa esiintyy monia Midnight Sons-ryhmässä mukana olleita hahmoja, sekä tuttuja kuten Kapteeni Amerikka Ja Wolverine.
Peli tulee perustumaan osittain Rise of the Midnight Sons-sarjakuvatarinaan.

“You’ve referred a few times in this interview to getting older. How has age affected what scares you?

Junji ito: In my youth, when I’d be walking around town, I would actually be scared of being stalked or being watched. That’s subsided now, but being older now, um, yeah, I’m a lot more afraid of death. I’m also still scared of cockroaches. They fly here in Japan.

Do New York cockroaches fly?

They do not fly, but they are hard to kill.

Junji Ito: So, the ones in Japan fly, and they’re quite big.
