Chapter 408 Right here, throw the zombie virus over!

Lingxian’s words once again awakened Kevin Feige and Jonathan Hickman. After all, according to the rules of the “real world”, they are just ordinary people who only know how to create works, but how can they create everything?
They used to think that as long as an editor secretly drew something, it could be materialized in the multiverse, allowing characters from the comic universe to run into the movie universe and cause trouble.

Now after listening to Lingxian’s reminder, I suddenly feel that this is exactly what should be done!

Their Marvel Multiverse is not a bus that anyone can enter if they want to. Without their approval, you cannot get on even if you pay for a ticket!

“You’re right, we did ignore this problem before.”

Recalling the past half month when he was like a headless fly, Kevin Feige glared at Jonathan Hickman, who had no choice but to bow his head and admit that it was all his own negligence.

what else can we do?

This is the workplace!

In order to save face and demonstrate his self-worth, Jonathan immediately activated his thinking ability and grasped a key point.

“This requires a series of attempts. First, we need to keep in touch with the multiverse, and then find a less important universe as an experimental area. After a few more experiments, we should be able to find the answer.”

“Let’s do it!” Kevin Feige decided, “Let’s start with the comics.”

He is a shrewd businessman who knows how to control costs. Although he may gain extraordinary powers and even immortality in the future, he doesn’t have them now after all.

Furthermore, the investment in comics is small, so he doesn’t even need to give orders. Jonathan can make his own decisions. He is only responsible for the final performance review of each department.

For example, which comics were released in the new year, which ones sold well, which ones sold poorly, and those who deserved rewards would be rewarded, and those who deserved punishments would be punished.

If he takes care of everything himself, he won’t be able to reach the position of president.

Compared to comics, the investment in movies is much greater. Not only is it costly, but it also takes years from project establishment to shooting, post-production, review, contacting theaters, publicity and promotion, etc.

Kevin Feige has no intention of making this known to the whole world. It is best for him to keep his extraordinary power to himself!
After Jonathan returned to the editorial office, he immediately called a meeting with several editors, and Wang Yuan, a technical backbone, also attended the meeting.

In fact, even if he didn’t pull in the clone created by Lin Hao, with the power of Arnim Zola, every move of everyone in the Marvel Building could not escape Lin Hao’s eyes.

“I called everyone here today because I’m planning to publish a new single volume of the manga.”

After Jonathan finished speaking, several editors sitting in the front who were qualified to create content and sign their names became interested.

All artistic creation industries need to speak with their works. Only when the works become popular can they gain fame, and only when they are popular can they bring monetary value and gain both fame and fortune.

Apart from those veteran artists who are already famous and have no energy to complete their creations, who among the new generation doesn’t need a chance to perform?

Marvel is undoubtedly a large international platform. Being able to use this platform to publish a work can improve one’s status even if the results are not satisfactory.

All new generation editors cherish such opportunities. After all, the number of single-volume comics published by Marvel each year is limited, there is competition, and screening is required.

Marvel is also not willing to let “young and ignorant kids” mess with their superheroes at will. Who will be responsible if their reputation is ruined?

“Ghostwriting” tools like Lin Hao’s clone are much calmer, as the benefits will never fall on them.

There were only two young assistants who had just arrived and were still full of ambition, trying to impress the boss with their talent and determination, but they didn’t know that the skin color of their bodies had already determined the height they could reach in America.

The few old foxes sitting next to Lin Hao all cast sarcastic glances at the young man, as if they were laughing at themselves for being ignorant of the world.

Jonathan looked around, taking in everyone’s reactions, and raised the corners of his mouth with a smug look.

The best part of being a leader is to be able to reflect the privileges that come with your identity through comparison!
Without these feelings of superiority, wouldn’t being a leader be dull and boring?
“Okay, focus!” Jonathan patted the presentation board beside him, motioning everyone to look at the string of letters and numbers he had written.

“Earth-2149.”

The two young assistants, who were proud of their in-depth knowledge of the Marvel Multiverse, reacted immediately.

“This is the Marvel Zombie Universe!”

When they applied for the job, they showed off their knowledge of the Marvel world and characters to the interviewers, proving that they were of pure blood and qualified as “comic fans”.

“The company is planning to publish a new single volume. The specific content will revolve around the zombie universe, but the time point will be slightly earlier, before the ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’…”

Jonathan began to talk about some plot points he had considered, which would be filled in by the editor. After taking out the script and manuscript, they would be handed over to the tool painter to draw, and then the book would be finalized and published.

The process is the same as the previously released comics, except that this time they will always stay in touch with eternity to see which step will cause the corresponding universe to change, thereby determining the means used by the editor to “create everything.”

There are several reasons for choosing the Zombie Universe.

First of all, there are many versions of the zombie virus, and it can be connected to other normal universes, so even if a zombie virus suddenly appears in a universe, it will not appear abrupt.

This also provides a reasonable entry point for the plot of the new single volume.

Secondly, the zombie universe has already gained a certain degree of popularity, so the release of a new single volume is reasonable, not conspicuous, and has its own traffic, so there is no need for major publicity.

If the editor’s method of “creating everything” really requires a certain response to be effective, then if a comic book with a new plot wants to be recognized, it will take time to ferment and a lot of publicity and promotion resources.

What Kevin Feige and Jonathan Hickman are most worried about at the moment is attracting the attention of Disney and even the American consortium. If they discover their purpose, they will no longer be able to take the lead in the future and Eternal Connection.

It’s easy to guess that after those people get superpowers, they will allow Kevin and Jonathan to have the same or even greater power than them?

We are like cattle and horses now, will we still be like cattle and horses in the future?
Cheap or not!

They are “real” people, not editorially swayed superheroes.

It’s so hard to get a chance to become the “King of the World”, and only a fool would leak it.

So they had to conduct this experiment quietly and not attract attention.

If a new comic book becomes popular, it’s fine, as it proves that they have a good eye for talent. But if it fails, they will be punished by Disney, the parent company, and the secret may even be leaked.

There is another important reason. The zombie universe is already doomsday. If things go wrong, the world can be destroyed naturally without any foreshadowing.

No matter what problems arise during the experiment, a world-destroying move can clear the field directly, which is efficient and safe.

These two guys are also worried that Yongheng will cause trouble!
The “world-destroying move” is their trump card to check and balance eternity and remind it who its creator is.

In order to ensure that the plan goes on, and to ensure that Eternity will come and grant them extraordinary powers and immortality.

At this moment, they didn’t know that Lin Hao could broadcast their plans live, so when Jonathan finished speaking, a gleam of brilliance appeared in the eyes of Lin Hao’s clone.

“I remember there is a universe whose time point is just around the Cuban Missile Crisis. Let’s choose this place and throw the zombie virus there…”
