	oui. Mais quel est le prochain event MARVEL, celui où DARK REINGN s'achève ? Si y'en a pas, c'est bien, ca va permettre de souffler un peu !

Il me semble que Quesada a annoncé quelque chose pour la fin de l'année (c'est le 70e anniversaire après tout) mais d'ici là, pas d'event majeur a priori.
Et ça me semble effectivement une bonne nouvelle.

Ca va pas très fort pour Steve Geppi, le big boss de Diamond :

	In recent weeks, while news of Diamond’s new trade policies has rippled through every level of the comics business, Diamond’s owner, Stephen Geppi, has also been hit with several lawsuits for outstanding debts. While Geppi’s various business interests, including the Geppi Entertainment Museum and Gemstone Publishing , are all separate corporations, the overall picture of debt that emerges is an uncomfortable one for the comics industry. In one link being widely circulated this morning, court documents reveal that California debt collection agency Creditors Trade Association is suing Gemstone, Diamond, and Geppi for $373,000.00 on behalf of Global Interprint, the print broker for many of Gemstone’s deluxe editions. According to court documents, Gemstone owes the money for the printing bills on such books as Hopalong Cassidy, EC Archives, Frontline Combat, and Haunt of Fear. The bills were run up between December 2007 and September 2008, with none of the monies being paid. According to another link posted by Rich Johnston on Monday, a “confessed judgment” has been ruled against Geppi in a case involving a $16,466,205.32 debt to P N C Bank. According to one legal expert we checked with, a confessed judgment involves a situation where a debtor signed a written document providing that if specified payment was not made, a judgment could be entered against him for the remaining amount. Although the case is listed as closed, Geppi will have a chance to make further legal motions in a hearing set for March 26th. Unfortunately, the court documents in the case are not online, so no further information on the nature of the debt is readily available. Neither Diamond nor Gemstone is named in this case, at least according to the documents online. Adding to Geppi’s woes, his entertainment museum has been losing money and has run up a sizable unpaid rent bill as of September:

Alors bien sûr, toutes ces dettes ne sont pas liées aux activités de distribution de Diamond mais elles éclairent d'un jour nouveau les conditions plus strictes imposées aux éditeurs depuis peu.


Première victime avérée des dettes de son propriétaire, l'éditeur Gemstone (les titres Disney, c'est eux) qui semble avoir d'ores et déjà mis la clé sous la porte, comme en atteste cet e-mail envoyé aux fans inquiets de l'absence de nouvelles parutions
