[Lord Anubis]

So, a little before Thanksgiving, Eric S. Brown (he of Season of Rot and Bigfoot War and many others) and I fired a dozen r so emails back and forth where we talked about horror and comic books and zombies fighting superheroes and stuff like that.

Eric then made the whole thing readable for everyone else.

Great interview. 

[Lord Anubis]

Man.  I'm re-reading the interview and realized I said "Gabriel" when I was talking about the Spider-Man arc.  The character's name was Ezekiel.

Nothing like praising a story and messing up the name of one of the main characters.

Now you're going to have to live long and well to balance the karma of that horrible blunder.

[Lord Anubis]

It will be the thing people bring back to haunt me for years and years.

Dude, how could you get that wrong?  Spidey even calls him "Zeke" a few times ...

[Lord Anubis]

I know.  I felt like such an idiot when I saw that.  I loved the whole arc from the moment he first appeared until the wonderful end with Peter and the shaman talking down in Central America.  It's just become such a standard for the new Spider-Man writer to do something "big" that then has to get retconned or invalidated at the end of the arc.  JMS did this phenomenal story that ended with such a great "what's it matter" moment.

Which I then didn't read again for five years so my brain just slotted in some random Biblical name...

No, you self-retconned it, silly.  That's your story, now stick to it.
