J'accuse! J'accuse! In a hilarious turn, the Brian Michael Bendis-"Secret War" lovefest at Newsarama is suddenly derailed by this:

"I'd like to know when Bendis had this epiphany. This is the story that I submitted to Epic about 4 months ago. After hearing no response I assumed they were not interested or that it was under some huge pile of submissions somewhere left to rot. Apparently BMB is culling those for his new material."

When forum nanny Matt Brady informs him that, "all remaining Epic submissions were shredded," the fun really begins.

"Says the shill. Shredding them means that no one got to read them ahead of time? I will be speaking to an attorney this afternoon."
