The Fighting Five, by Michael Davis – Straight No Chaser #103

January 30, 2009 Michael Davis 23 Comments

Michael DavisI’m a hype machine.

When I’m hyping something I’m all over it. When I started Milestone Media with three other partners I was responsible for hundreds (if not thousands) of media impressions. Our Milestone panels at comic book conventions were legendary. The Black Panels I run at conventions now attract the biggest names in comics and Hollywood.

Why?

Because I’m Michael Davis and that’s how I roll.

Love me or hate me, I’m THE motherfucker when it comes to hype.

I’m responsible for some of the biggest names and biggest deals in comics and beyond.

I am. But that was then this is now.

Nothing I repeat NOTHING is bigger than what premieres here next week.

Nothing.

That’s not hype, that’s the real deal.

Mike Gold broke a major MAJOR story on MDW. Brainiac On Banjo # 97 was a serious piece that dealt with a serious and timely subject. MDW readers took note but the major news organizations did not.

Their mistake.

This time the world WILL take note. Next week the art form we have come to know, as the ‘Graphic Novel’ will change. Next week everything will change.

Next week The Fighting Five begins.

The Fighting Five will change the way we see ALL Graphic Novels.

All GRAPHIC NOVELS.

I welcome your questions but know this-The Fighting Five is the greatest thing in the history of comics and it premiers HERE at michaeldavisworld.com.

Remember I TOLD you.

    Noted. I shall raise the flags amongst my brothers and sisters and let them know of the forthcoming wave of awesomeness. I shall alert the local hospitals to be ready to receive countless cases of massive hysteria… and I shall notify the asian community of it’s impending loss of it’s finest hotties in droves.

    Mike Gold asked, ” Who’s that guy in the picture?”

    That was me before I lost about 40 pounds. I could have ran a current photo but the site would have crashed due to all the chicks (yeah I said ‘chicks’) and honeys (yep I said ‘honeys’) traffic coming to the site from word of mouth.

    Being a hot stud is a problematic by it’s self but combine that with being MOTU and it’s just nuts.

    What a burden I must bare…

    Shane said ” I cannot wait to read it Mike. Bring on “The Fighting Five” I can take.”

    I hope so Shane-it will change EVERYTHING so I hope you can take it.

    I hope the world can, YES it’s that’s big.

    And here I sit, chopped liver, and the MOTU says nothing of my comment. Shutdown.

    Marc,

    Welcome to my world.

    I am the brightest, the wittiest person alive (in my mind, at least), yet millions ignore me and what I have to say.

    Marc,

    I kid I joke. However there is the matter of a certain test…

    I’m on bended knees MOTU, You have here at your fingertips a lone soul in the City of Chicago who could evangelize your message and books throughout the city. But you play with my heart, and make me pass tests? Feh! There is no test I cannot pass. Give me the best test and all the rest. Surely I do not jest about the test, for I’ll give it my best.

    Ok, I’m sorry I don’t know where that was going. In any event, thanks for acknowledging my existence. I’ll get to work on sending you the video, the essay, and pertinent tax forms post haste.

    Marc,

    The last thing I need is a GUY on ‘bended knees.” Good luck with that though.

    Ha- I kid, I joke!!

    Okay, as MOTU’s studio apprentice, I’ve had the privilege to see the pages of “The Fighting Five”.

    Let me just say, the pages almost BLINDED me, because of how brilliant they were!

    Mr. Davis, I don’t believe we’ve met but I’m Kyle, one of Marc Fishman’s roommates. First I want to say that I will pick up a copy of The Fighting Five and look forward to it.

    Now I implore you, please tell Marc not to complete the 500,000 word essay. He works day and night. As the the hour grows late he begins to say things. Dark terrible things that I dare not commit to writing.

    I’ve read some of the pages. I cannot fully describe nor even fathom the darkness they embody. So again I ask, tell him to stop writing this essay. If not for you for all of the other hotties it may endanger.

    Hello, Michael. You may have covered this already and if you did please don’t use the ray gun on me just yet – but what inspired you to create “The Fighting Five”?

    If Marc is writing a 500.000 word essay he is welcome to his “Dark terrible things.” Shit he can have mine to!

    And kyle-what did you mean by “If not for you for all of the other hotties it may endanger.?

    I have been called a lot of things but “Hottie” is new to me…and from a guy it’s a bit scary.

    That said welcome to the forum…cutie.

    My friend, my inspiration began years ago when I was but a wee child living in the projects.

    I’d like to tell you more but at this point I have to let the work speak for it’s self I could write volumes about what inspired me but that is a story for another day. When you see the work ask me again dude I will be in a better place to answer you. I look forward to your feedback.

    M.O.T.U.

    Let me clarify the hottie comment. My initial meaning was that any hottie reading here or in the general vicinity may be in danger.

    This is not to imply you are or are not a hottie. That isn’t for me to decide. Now is you’ll excuse me, I have to reinforce the protective circle while Marc begins page 807.
