Steve Wacker's Deleted Spider-Man Musical Video Surfaces
CB
COMICS BEATA comedy video of Marvel EIC Stephen Wacker auditioning for the infamous Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark Broadway show apparently surfaced at San Diego Comic-Con, and for what it's worth, this is exactly the kind of absurd moment that makes cons memorable. It's a lost artifact from one of the most notoriously troubled Broadway productions ever, and Wacker clearly doesn't want this floating around—which, naturally, makes it even funnier. The video hitting SDCC suggests someone had it in their back pocket specifically to embarrass the Marvel editor in the most public way possible. This is peak Comic-Con chaos energy.
ComicsBuzz Take
Marvel executives getting roasted at SDCC is a tradition, but this particular dirt suggests Wacker's colleagues have been saving ammunition for years—it humanizes the corporate side of comics in a way that normally gets sanitized.
