""Every Swarm story was the same Swarm story. He fires bees at you. I [tell my editor], 'I have an idea. I want to do a Swarm story. I know a new way of doing a Swarm story.' The editor is like, 'What is it?' I go, 'We've never seen what's happened to the honey,'" Slott explained.
"He goes, 'What?' I'm like, 'Yeah. He'd be selling the honey at farmer's market and stuff in disguise in a beekeeper suit or something. Everyone who eats the honey, since they're honey made of Nazi bees, become Nazis.'""
Man, I laughed as soon as I read the last sentence.
I think this is a story that could work, like 50 years ago, when super-heroes had wackier stories, but for a modern setting, yeah it could be weird... Whether it's a good weird or bad weird, we'll never know, but Slott himself thinks it'd be a bad idea lol.
Still, Swarm selling honey could work, maybe not making people into nazis, but maybe another convoluted super-villain plan, or just a side job where civilians feel really uncomfortable when learning they're eating nazi honey
.
The "Giant Spider-Man fighting Fin Fang Foom", also sounds really silver age, not really sure it could be interesting even with "Giant Spider-Man" gimmick.
Rare footage of editors doing something good too.
