How to use this Page

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.

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?

I picked up Scarlet Witch #1 with the hope that Robinson will eventually be able to fix a character that Bendis broke years ago and Marvel has consistently not been able to do much with.

Fine way of telling, and pleasant article to take information concerning my presentation subject matter, which i am going to deliver in college.

I have to admit that I am liking the Gweenpool’s stories in appendix to Howard, sadly from the image above it seems like she developed hepatitis (maybe due to the different environment of the Marvel universe?) so I guess she won’t last long.

Spider-Gwen represents everything I love about comics, Gwenpool represents everything I resent.

…sigh…

OMG, there is a robotic cat in Howard The Duck? I have to get a copy somewhere, who cares about Deadgwenpool!

“Deadgwen” would have obviously been the better name.

I loathe everything and everyone connected to Deadpool. For the life of me I can’t figure out why that character is so popular? He’s a walking joke. Perhaps that’s the reason, I have no clue…
