Alexander Creed: Re-Life Chapter 169: So Smart, So Dumb

As interesting and isolated the Mr. Counterboy and fanboy conversation was, their topics did leave so insight on what the comic book industry is clamoring about.

Although it was only DC that was fanning the flas and Creed Comics was indifferent as always, the spectating groups still had their own fun.

In any case, the release of JoJo's Bizarre Adventures did have a lot of interpretation in everyone's mind.

So would call that the JoJo comic books were a bit lower than the usual Creed output but a lot would say that the story and intrigue were there as usual with a lot more promise to co from it. However, these matters are only isolated to the comic content side of things.

"Analysts" and debaters alike have taken the JoJo release to be sowhat of Alexander Creed's 'only' defense chanism to cope with the hyped Alan Moore rivalry.

Since February, Alan Moore and DC have been active quite a lot with their cooperations and vendetta to have Alexander Creed take the bait.

Even the DC and Alan Moore's old Swamp Thing run had been compiled and been clamored by the dia to be an old classic that can beat the popular Volu Books out of their ga.

The grievance between Alan and Alexander had been blown up into a full-blown drama, so much so, that a lot had already slled out the exaggerations.

To think that it all stemd from the fact that Alan Moore just wanted to work his own spin to a Creed title and got a rejection.

Was Alexander Creed threatened that Alan Moore's version might be better than his? Would the secret to his versatility be exposed when Alan Moore cos into contact with him? Is Alexander Creed even real or just a persona made by the Creed Comics team to make a fool out of people?

Whatever the answer to this incriminating question was, the release of JoJo wasn't anything close to be sothing that can resolve the conflict.

If anything, it just seems to have spurned the DC masterminds so more. In fact, they had to bring up the topic once again as their executive eting sessions happened.

"What do you guys think about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?" An executive started things out.

"Another Creed success that happened in bizarre tis and with bizarre reasons." A hired who was caught up in ultra-deep competitor analysis murmured. "It's so bizarre that its story bizarreness hasn't even been tackled yet. What in the bizarre world are they going to do?"

Everyone in the room had to look at the murmuring man weirdly. Was the story that bizarre that such an analytic man beca bizarre crazy?

Fortunately, the man had a much saner co-worker that gave a much more acceptable description. "Uhm... as of now, Creed's JoJo title is rich and poor drama comic. Even the newly-released Erina Pendleton and Damning Kiss issue tell-tales that the story might just revolve around English drama, politics, and the like."

"So you're saying that the Bizarre in the title is just a red herring ant to throw off people from its true purpose." An executive comnted. "Does that an that the blood-staining and thorn-clasping mask in the first issue is just a trick as well?"

Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

"Most probably. Even the "drama" in comic books that people are buzzing about might be another ruse as well." The analyst added.

"What do you an?" Everyone's attention was drawn in at this point. They could reason that the bizarre title is a trick but how co the drama part is a lie as well?

"Well, I've analyzed Creed Comics' previous title release and my hunch tells that JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is just banking on the success of 'A Mysterious Feeling called Love'." The analyst was quite confident with his analysis. He has been doing help for analyzing and deconstructing the comic books of competing publishers that his experience and gut feeling was always on point in his opinion.

"That was just a limited issue graphic novel, why would sothing like the JoJo title be connected to that?" An executive asked.

"Well, the Hotaru girl and Shinri guy has proven that the romance market is extrely feasible. However, Creed Comics might have ssed up when they made it into a limited series." The confident analyst continued with shining confidence. "Since that love story was done in one fell swoop during February, they had to have a long-running series that capitalize on romance. Jonathan, Dio, and Erina just happen to be the perfect set of characters to play that out."

"So, you're saying that JoJo isn't anything bizarre at all, neither could it be a simple sche drama, but sothing that had to do with romance?" An executive pondered on this and no matter what angle he looked at it, the analyst might be right.

Creed Comics' romance splash had limited long-running value that peaked in Valentines but having a monthly and ensuing romance story ant that the sales of romance would continue all year round.

The people in the room then considered the pros and cons of such an extended but "hidden" romance story and could more or less tell that the analyst was not far off with his romance conclusion.

The confident analyst smiled smugly and gave another reveal. "From my analysis, it isn't just a romance though but a tragic one."

"A tragic romance?!" The people in the room were convinced already but why did this analyst have to be so showy? "Why do you say that?"

"It's quite elentary really." The analyst explained with Sherlock-ness and gusto. "Bizarre is a replacent to hide the tragic ending, adventure is a moniker for romance just like how Alexander Creed used "incurable disease" in his first romance story, while the mysterious mask could only point out to one other mask-thed tragic romance, 'The Phantom of the Opera'!"

The executive's eyes lit up from that. Bizarre like their DC Bizarro is a "tragic" version of Superman, so they aren't that far off in implicitness.

The the of 'A Mysterious Feeling Called Love' is that 'love is an incurable disease', so why can't JoJo's "Adventure" have the the of 'love is an adventure.

anwhile, The Phantom of the Opera was a popular story from the early 1900s about a mysterious masked man and a Gothically tragic love. Wouldn't that an that either Jonathan or Dio wear that mask and fight for their love of Erina?

When the confident analyst connected all those dots together, the people in the DC eting room felt that they've been enlightened. Even the bizarre crazy analyst from earlier seems to have beco sane and shocked once again.

"Haha! Good, good!" The listening devious editor can't help but applaud the analyst's excellence. Of course, his devious mind churned from that. "Wouldn't this an that aside from destroying Alexander Creed's reputation by chickening on our challenge, we can give a "major spoiler" to the dia about his romance tactic and destroy the popularly rising JoJo title as well?"

The DC executives and everyone else in the room seem to have been inspired by that as their senses tell them that the chance to destroy the popular Creed creator was near at hand.

If the Creed creator is tarnished, wouldn't that an that Creed Comics would be down in the dumps as well?

As for sighing editor, he could only sigh at how everything was headed towards. He wanted to say that Creed Comics is slated to release a new title this March but he also knew that the atmosphere in the room was already set.

Although his logic tells them that this DC eting's goal was effective, his 'sighing' senses tell him that they were far off.

In any case, the DC masterminds were impassioned and the confident analyst felt smug at his amazing smartness.

If Alexander had any clue of what was happening at their eting, then he would comnt that their efforts were futile and the analyst was 'sooo smart' that he beca 'sooo dumb'.
