"talking with Alan Moore" - He is actually answering. "In negotiations with Alan Moore" - We are talking to Alan Moore's lwyer "We think Alan Moore has already said what he wanted to say with the chracter" - Alan Moore told us to do something anatomically impossible and hung up. Personally, I think Alan HAS finished his piece with Marvelman, and all that's needed from him is permission to reprint, which apparently he may have already given unofficially, according to an interview at Forbidden Planet. If there's anyone who's already worked on it that would allay fears, it's Gaiman. Paul Cornell could do some great stories, and he seems to have a monthly hole in his schedule now. I can't think of anyone else Marvel's currently on friendly terms with that could do Marvelman stories I'd want to read. But I'm perfectly willing to give them the chance to try. ote the subtle differences:

Everyone thought King might be writing comics, but it ended up he was just licensing his stuff to Marvel. This Marvelman announcement reminds me of when they announced they had Stephen King.

No, no, it's not for real. Just a fun little thing they've been doing the last couple months, no worries. Haha. No, no, it’s not for real.

Is this Cloonan/Hadley thing for real?? I don't know the story, so forgive my ignorance, but honestly? One of them honestly punched the other one out? And Cloonan didn't get arrested for that? All blog posts made a joke out of it, so maybe that's what it is. I will say this: that picture looks like a great cover for a comic. So… Is this Cloonan/Hadley thing for real??
