While it’s gotten pretty uninspired at this point to engage in April Fools’ Day jokes on the Internet, every year a few people try them out, to see what will and won’t work. This year, the comics industry has had a few of these stories circulating, along with accompanying art and in at least one case, a press release.So–what might you have read too quickly and then rushed to share this April 1?Mars Attacks is NOT a MusicalThis one is a bit strange–a few days ago, Bleeding Cool reported that the rather strange news earlier this week that Mars Attacks would be adapted into a Broadway musical was in fact part of an elaborate April Fools’ Day prank being played on the comics industry by IDW and Topps (we admit it–we bought it, and ran the story linked above). They revealed today at Emerald City Comic Con (and by a press release) that the March 29 press release was in fact a hoax. Of course, that doesn’t change the fact that Moriarty and Clerks 3 are both in early development for the stage.
