Could be. Maybe to counter the Daily Mail article?
MM is a freelancer who’s done work for DC, Icon, Image, Marvel and Top Cow comics. MM’s last Marvel adaptation was Logan, he’s banking on adaptations of his own ‘Millarworld’ titles via 20th Century Fox and Netflix for most of his future earnings. The wording and emphasis of the tweet is more in keeping with SoFail’s camp. Implicit racism of the type MM exhibited isn’t Disney’s style either. PR firms like KC rep some big names so asking for a wee favor from someone like MM isn’t that difficult. If they did that it’s a clever way to make it look like it’s from the opposing camp…

Just sayin’.
