Just to prove that we have some editorial process around here, this was a conversation between Mike Gold and myself on a potential article: GH: So, I want to run a story on April Fool’s Day… ComicMix to publish the complete Sonic Disruptors, including the unpublished last issues. MG: Don’t do it. GH: Aw, why…

Man, I’m disappointed in you guys. We were expecting lots of joke entries from all over the web — you know, Joe Quesada buys Forbidden Planet, Jenette Kahn buys down coat filled with Donald Duck’s feathers, Classics Illustrated adapts Portnoy’s Complaint, Rob Liefeld reads an anatomy textbook — but no.
