The NEW LAW Issue Dirty Jobs: Ethics, Supervillains, and the search for the line in the mud
New York Magazine, August 2024
J. Jonah Jameson’s making a cult of his conspiracy media, and public is paying him billions for it. Karen Page analyzes the trajectory of his continued success.
Anonymous asked:
What's your favorite cover you've done? I'm really interested because you seem to favor political stuff later on and at the start you mostly did tabloid parodies.
That’s a really tough question because I have different relationships with different works? IDK I guess there’s this kind of disconnect sometimes between how much effort I put into something, and how much I actually like the end product. For instance I spent aaaages planning and brainstorming and executing the movie within a movie idea, but I’m not super happy with the whole thing now that I look back on it?
So I guess what i’m most proud of, and what are my favourites are two different things that kind of cross over a bit. Combine that with the fact this whole thing started out as me being frustrated with the hyperbolic and invasive nature of trash rags, rather than a real attempt at creating any kind of in-universe media and I guess I have a lot of weird feelings about a lot of the stuff I’ve done over the years.
I’m most proud of You Know Who He Is: Stark Naked mostly because not only did it take a bunch of research to get the look of a GQ magazine right (which, by the way, is a magazine I have never read in my goddamn life!), and then the added effort of writing the copy and then trying as hard as I could to get Tony’s voice right throughout. I spent literal days reading it back out loud with all of his intonations and inflections to try and get the whole piece as spot on as I could.
What are my favourites though? Honestly, I really do prefer the political or technological ones. Every time I look at Rhodey on the cover of Wired I’m like fuck yes that is awesome and YOU DID THAT. I think about that time I put the Hydra symbol on Cap’s helmet as a commentary on the media’s constant quest to either vilify political figures or put them on a pedestal, and the use of sensationalist imagery to sell copies and Then they went and did Hydra!Cap in the comics a couple of years later and I was just like... No I did not want to be this kind of prophet. I think about the Economist cover where I couldn’t figure out what the reaction would be to literal aliens coming out of the sky and decided to just go with a safe for work version of What the Fuck.
So yeah, really really long answer to probably something you were thinking would mayyyybe be a sentence or two, so sorry about that. But yeah, here you go. My personal faves (not including that Tony one up there because its long AF). I’m also really sorry about the overabundance of Steve here, it wasn’t intentional at all!

Almost a year after an ‘unfortunate training accident’ the Air Force are still sexist, newspapers are still more interested in sports, and reporters are still calling women ‘females’

Mediavengers is back for a very special edition with a sprinkling of extra salt.
Scientific American, February 2012
This is... actually kind of terrifying. To be fair, the article was a lot of pseudoscience babble about gene therapy and cloning - it really sounded like something out of a Philip K. Dick novel - but the idea that anyone could up and make their own superhero (villain?!) is kind of creepy.

Discovery Channel Documentary: Wakanda - Interstellar Technology
Discovery Channel extrapolates a bunch of rumours and isn’t far off on the premise, but things go completely wack from there, with talk of Titans, wormholes, and the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs bringing the human race to earth. Conspiracy theorists have a field day.

Newsweek, April 29, 2016
Newsweek decides to take a break from sexism, and aims for racism instead, with a scathing article on the secretive nation of Wakanda. Following the death of King T'Chaka and the succession of his son, a group of right leaning reporters rummage around in the annals of history to dig up something akin to a History Channel conspiracy special. We have to be honest though... after the events at Flughafen Leipzig-Halle, the Black Panther theory seems kind of legit.

Time Magazine - April 11,2016
With instances of vigilante justice, tensions between the Avengers team, and reports of inhuman feats on the rise, Time asks the obvious (and takes advantage of those scale figurines everyone seems to have these days).

MediAvengers Round-up: Reaction Headlines
In a world where superheroes are gossiped about in the tabloids, sometimes it’s refreshing to see reactions to real events, rather than reporting on water cooler conversations. Having said that, there is a theory that all superhero activity is, in fact, a parallel universe bleeding through to ours. According to theoretical physicists, evidence lies in an educational children’s book series.
Maybe these headlines aren’t our ‘real world’ after all...

Awkward candid shots, ridiculous hyperbole, and sandbags being called ‘manbags’. Even superheroes aren’t immune from the stupidity.

US Weekly - Unknown date
It’s all about style choices. Everything’s fine when you’re a dude, but if you’re Black Widow then obviously you must be going grey because why else would anyone dye their hair?

This is a direct parody of this hilarious(ly awful) segment from US Weekly (seriously click it there’s some glory moments like ‘they mail back Neflix’ and ‘they carry their cords’)
