Oh yeah! They are so adorable~~ Thank you for sharing!! Love these stuff very much >.< With these I think I will start drawing my own

Re: Champions -There was also this TV show..they were kind of like superheroes : https://www.pinterest.com/SaffieRose/the-champions/

with a USAvengers team book also coming out with more of a youth/different type characters vibe, does this mean we’ll be seeing more classic line-ups in the main stream avengers books, ’cause it seems that most of the characters that marvel was moving heaven and earth to get into the main avengers books seem to be moving on into books of their own.

With Ms. Marvel (who can stretch), Spider-Man (who can become invisible) and Nova (who can fly and fire blasts from his hands) and the new Hulk (strong guy) it’s not The Champions, it’s the new Fantastic Four.

If Viv is there um… maybe she’s the H.E.R.B.I.E?

This is why I’m reasonably certain that when archaeologists dig up America in 4000 years, they are going to think that we thought superheros were real and we worshiped them as gods.

Eh… it balances the bad karma from this:

Ralph Kramden and Jackie Gleason who both lived at 328 Chauncey Street, in Bed Stuy.
Yes, Ralph drove a city bus (Madison Avenue), not a Port Authority coach. Tell that to Viacom/TV Land…

It joins a long line of fictional character statues, even of comics characters…

Apparently Heidi is learning from the Outhousers with lines like this

When the statue reaches its final destination it can become shrine of sorts for garbage, dog poop, graffiti, flaming dumpsters and other protests over Marvel’s shitty behavior over the years.

Not sure that was necessary in an article about a statue but hey what do I know?

I’m a Captain America fan an all that but really a corporate brand permanently placed in a public park? Plus, I was a bit unsure about the Brooklyn thing, now it turns out Cap wasn’t from Brooklyn anyway. Oh well, no need letting facts get in the way of a good story.

To be a worthy statue it would have to be from the original Kirby design, anyway,

Of the more old school branch of heroes, I think slapstick is one that benefits more from a humorous slash cartoons approach.

If the poll over on CBR is any suggestion, Marvel might have hit their tipping point on soft relaunches post each and every “Event”. The last relaunch was, overall, a disaster, sales wise, so it’ll be interesting to see how this one does…

CBR: Are You Excited For The All-New Marvel NOW! Era?

No – 64.4%
Maybe — I’ll have to see more before I decide – 25.0%
Yes! – 10.6%

Please no more relaunches…I can’t take it anymore.

There’s literally one character in that picture I care about enough to put money down for. If MAC gets a solo series, fabulous. I’ll be there. Otherwise, meh.

Everybody rightly mocks the leather jackets ‘n big guns look of the 90s, but at least it was a recognizable zeitgeist style. So many of those characters just look blah.

This is awesome. Like this very much!

this is a reflection of marvels broken identity. they are slowly pushing me out of the marvel universe. its all just so bland and corporate anymore.

It’s true. I still hate Marvel.

Is there some way to see the white text on a mobile version of the site? There’s no ‘mousing over’ for that.

It says this…”Captain America: Steve Rogers #2, from the creative team of writer Nick Spencer and artist Jesus Saiz, reveals that Steve’s memories of indoctrination were implanted by Kobik, the sentient Cosmic Cube who became a girl. Not only that, but Kobik has been under the influence of Steve Rogers’ most fearsome archenemies, the Red Skull, for months.”

Marvel has just gone from “The House of Ideas” to “The Casa of Crap”…

Copy the text and then paste it elsewhere – in a note, or draft of a comment…

Thanks!

Well, I expected as much which is why I never got the reaction to it. I hate being all “these people didn’t read the comic/don’t read comics” but it’s such an obvious issue #1 and Marvel cliffhanger play that of course it’d be revealed if not in issue 2 at least 4 what’s really going on. All of that makes me think it’s now even more in poor tase mainly because Spencer and Co. did such a bad job convincingly lying about it.

Maybe the problem is not the creators or the editors but the legion of “fans” and “journalists” that overanalyze and ruin everything on the internet. You know what’s kinda fun? Just reading comics. With no one else’s commentary. The internet appears to be full of those three annoying guys at the comic shop that I hated so much as a kid. They had opinions on everything, ruined everything, and never fucking left.

I hope that was worth all the trivializing of Jewish people for.

If this is the best story they could come up with, it’s no wonder comic sales are awful.

Oop, you got a sentence ending in a preposition there.

I hope that trivializing of Jewish people was for all the worth.

There we go. Err, wait- … Worth all of which- No… Cause it’s the Jewish’s worth…

Well, the content of the spoiler was exactly the theory that some fans had already posited. It doesn’t come as a surprise, really.

What does it all mean, you ask?

Simple.

Going by Marvel’s past actions, it means a boatload of #1 issues, plus the renumbering of just about every current Marvel comic.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Marvel’s business strategy. Not an honorable one, but hey, it beats the pants off whatever DC’s trying to do.

YES!!! Afterall… Who wants originality? Let’s pump out another 300 Batman:Arkham games, and a spiderman game that barely promises to be better than the dreadfully produced Spiderman 2 on PS4. LEGO games by the hundreds aren’t enough for the barely educated to stay entertained… so lets just make MORE of them.

… but yeah… a banner year for comic book games.

Um, Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a shitty movie tie-in by a shovelware developer. This new game is by Insomniac, who make great games, with fun traversal, which is key for Spider-Man. It promises to be way better than that.

And LEGO games are for kids. Don’t be shitty.

Your fascination with Ike makes sense. Rich Johnston’s fascination with Ike is odd since his take on him goes from hot to cold depending on the day.

Actually, Disney stock hasn’t been soaring lately. Even though the movie side of the company has been doing well, the issues over ESPN’s profitability has been a major drag on the stock price.

Hot and cold depending on what Ike has done that’s worth reporting on. That’s the problem with facts, they have an irritating way of dictating the story.

Thanks for this great interview

It’d be nice if Marvel (and, to a growing extent, DC) would be more open about its cancellations. This growing habit of “listed this month, not next month” is very irritating. I didn’t know Illuminati was cancelled till I read the final page of #7.. At least in the 70’s, there was an excuse (flimsy as it was) for cancellations not being announced—some decided so fast that DC would have their little box saying something like “next issue on sale the third week of July” in the final issues.

“Even after having watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I had to check to see who this character is. Releasing an ongoing series focused on him seemed to me to be quite a daring move -or am I the only one who totally forgot his part in the movie?”

Poe Dameron has a lot of fans. It’s not that surprising to see Marvel try a series for him.

Merci pour les conseils culinaires en fin de rubrique. ;)

Pleasantly surprised the racists haven’t come out in response to the comments about black characters (and also pleasantly surprised about how well two of those books are selling).

You can not be a racist, and still be glad that as clichéd, unnecessary and overhyped a character as Red Wolf is failing.

Why does it matter if they put FINAL ISSUE in thr solicits?

Chris: simple courtesy for people paying dollars to buy their products.

You’re a bit harsch on Moon Knight I think, it’s not that a much a popular character for a start, both first and second issues went on reprint – and besides it’s beautifully drawn.

Why does it matter if they put FINAL ISSUE in thr solicits?
==================================================================
Chris:

Some of us aren’t rolling in mounds of cash. Ergo, we have to adhere to a budget each month. If I see a title I buy every month isn’t solicited and it doesn’t say “final issue”, how do I know it’s not coming back next month? Hard to commit to a new title if I’m not sure the unsolicited title is coming back or not. And, like most other comics fans, my budget is not flexible–once again, no mounds of money lying around. So, yes, it WOULD be nice, and it’s not too much to ask, for Marvel and DC to have the common courtesy to let us know when they’re cancelling a title. Considering the dwindling readership these days, the LAST thing they need is more disgruntled—possibly soon to be former—readers.

Yep, like Rob said. For us, overseas consumers, we HAVE to preorder a title to have a chance to read it. We don’t have racks with all the titles available to choose from. Comics shops with original floppy comics wouldn’t survive with racks like that. So we preorder. And yeah, knowing a title is stopped would be nice, same thing with knowing if it’s a limited serie or not.
That’s also why double shipping is so annoying because it cuts your monthly budget, even when you did not add any new title to your “list”.
But, apparently, from what we can see of Marvel’s floppy policy, they just don’t care about floppy readers at all.
Which is a bad move: how many times do floppy readers think “well, I’ll get in in trade paperback format” and then forget about it later? Or finally buy it, but second handed, because it’s cheaper?

A dear friend of mine, also a brown woman, was invited to that conference as well. It’s a high honor and it sounded like an amazing event.

Sama Amanat is an incredible talent and a wonderful human being. I’m very happy she’s being recognized for her outstanding work.

The Outhouse has a good point, too. The comics industry treats women like trash and it’s going to take more than Ms Amanat to fix that.

Winter Soldier killed Uncle Ben?

Okay — I think I’ve narrowed it down to one of two things: Spider-Man has been an agent of Hydra all along. Spider-Man has been an Inhuman all along.

Or there could be a twist — and it could be both.

I wasn’t bothered by the kiss in the film. Oh, it was stupid and had absolutely zero buildup or development, but it was only one of the many stupid, stupid things in that film.

One thing no one can deny: the scene was true to the context of comics’ intro of Sharon Carter. She existed to displace Peggy Carter– who as I recall appeared for the first time in a TALES OF SUSPENSE story– and to give Cap a new romance who just happened to look like his last one.

Always thought it a little suspicious that Sharon and Peggy were “sisters.” Really? Peggy’s in her presumptive 20s in `1945, and so is Sharon in 1965. There’s a familial relationship that would be more believable as to the age-difference, but it’s probably fortunate that Lee and Kirby didn’t go there…
