Civil War Redux

So I have to give thanks to both Jason Green and our own Jon Scorfina for this one. Jason sent it to Jon, who passed it along to me. Seems several people are not that happy with how Civil War finally turned out. But instead of just complaining, one guy actually did something about it. He took the comics and scanned the pages, then blanked out any text and wrote his own version. Now I really like the idea, but I have to say, the dude is not a professional writer by any means, but it is pretty funny in it's own way. I would like to see more of this kind of stuff, especially from aspiring writers. I've actually heard of people getting gigs this way, taking a comic and rewriting all the word balloons. When you think about it, it's really not all that different then how Kirby and Lee used to make comics. But one piece of advice for any one who might try it, try to pick a kind of mid grade writer. I mean, how many of us can write better then people like Loeb, or Ellis, or even, in this case, Mark Millar? Not many I bet. So good luck, if you do it I would love to see a copy!
