Hasbro Q&A/March 2010: Marvel Answers
1. Artist Bob Layton created the original package artwork for the Marvel Universe Secret Wars anniversary 2-packs. Have any other classic Marvel artists worked on the brand so far?
- Working with some of Marvel's great talents is just exciting! Editor in Chief, Joe Quesada, created our Invaders and special Black & White Captain America art for San Diego Comic Con 2009. Artist Frank Cho worked on our 2009 mainline, and Mike Deodato handled the art chores for the 2010. Not to mention the Legendary Bob Layton handling Secret Wars. In keeping with this tradition, we will make a special announcement of who our next artist will be! We can't wait!
2. Have any characters been dropped from consideration in the Marvel Transformers Crossovers line because their character designs were too hard to pull off as giant shape-changing robots?
- Well, yes, Ego the Living Planet was dropped because we could not decide on a vehicle to turn him into!
3. So Spider-Man's just a photographer for a New York City newspaper, right? Where does he keep his Web Jet, Triple Battle Truck, and half-dozen giant robots? Does his apartment building have off-site storage?
- Of course! Haven't you seen Spider-Man's Amazing Friends? The entire headquarters is furnished in his apartment building. All built by their friend, Tony Starch.[sic]
