C. B. Cebulski

And I will say, as much as I'm shit-talking Marvel and that they've done a lot of changes in the leadership over the comics and whatnot, we are kind of in a situation similar to Triple H taking over WWE a couple years ago, which is you got to wait about a year for all the bad shit to run out, like all the stuff that was left over from the last regime to come and run out to the new one.

So for the next... or actually it's been like two months since then, 10 months or so, we're still going to see a lot of basically whatever the last trickle of, you know, Akira, aka CB Cebulski's decisions over at Marvel.

And we kind of really can't judge the new dude until...

Roughly this time next year, which is kind of shitty.

Him and Frank Miller were just like, well, what if ninjas could do anything like that? So I can see if you're a stodgy old editor at Marvel is just like, well, Chris Claremont did a lot of good Japanese stuff in the 80s.

sure okay but he's it's it's 2008 guys yeah it's uh though also i should mentioning marvel in japan stuff i should also say look up the story of akira yoshida it's one of the most shameful things in marvel history in recent marvel history have you heard this tale of akira yeah

yeah and it's well it's not a japanese person and then they could they still continue to work

Yes, C.B. Cebulski was an editor of Marvel at the time, and they had internal rules in 2005 that he could not write books while being an editor.

He is a white man.

Cebulski is his name.

He made up the name of Akira Yoshida and published under that name.

So he pretended to be a Japanese writer for, and he's a huge weeb, fluent in Japanese, all that stuff.

He's Commie, your favorite Stanley Cup champion, Mike Commodore.

I'm Cebulski.

Oh

... that's, that bastard CB Cebulski.

Uh, or-

Well, he's gone now.

Yeah, let's, let's, let's touch on that.

Um, so Akira Yoshida is no longer editor-in-chief of, of Marvel.

He's going back to the homeland.

Yeah.

...

in order to get himself further work at Marvel Comics.

It worked for a while, and Akira Yoshida wrote a couple of things for Marvel.

It was when C.B. was, was an editor at Marvel, and he basically didn't wanna, you know, have his name-

But X-Men Unlimited is just basically one-off stories.

They have CB Cebulski here saying, quote, "We want the stories in it to have more pertinence to what is happening with the characters and teams in New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, and Extreme X-Men on a monthly basis." But then it goes on to explain, "The series features short stories from comics' top creators, ranging from a satirical visit to the set of the X-Men movie," which I gotta read, "To a good old-fashioned bar brawl featuring Wolverine and Rogue.

From a romantic competition between Selene and Emma Frost to a Western showdown featuring the Blob." Like, this just sounds so wacky.

Apparently there's a behind the music on Dazzler.

First thing I'm gonna do is go to the retailers.

The current editor-in-chief at Marvel, C.B. Cebulski, whether you like him or not, and there are some things about him that people do not like-

Shocked.

Shocked, I tell you

"While Dr. Doom aligns with Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire." Timed to the 50th anniversary of Star Wars, the series launches January 2027.

Outgoing Marvel EIC and one of the great Asians in comics, CB Cebulski, called it something the company has wanted since reimagining Star Wars- In 2015

I, I just wanna say, guys, the, they probably did not get the response they wanted for this.

This is a very 2015 pitch, and people-

I wanna hear, you know, what you think.

We also have some quotes from the editor-in-chief o- of, of Marvel Comics, C.B. Cebulski, I think is how you say this person's name.

"It's an idea we've wanted to explore since getting the Star Wars license back over a decade ago, but we knew we'd have to wait with the patience of a Jedi to make it happen." Oh, God.

Okay.

Cebulski added, "The fiftieth anniversary of A New Hope has finally given us the once in a lifetime opportunity to bring these two universes together in this incredible story being told by Kevin Smith and David Marquez.

Getting the call with the green light from Lucasfilm was a magical moment.

It was as if Han Solo himself had called to tell me, 'You're all clear, kid.'" And here you can see the connected covers.
