  1. I honestly don't think anyone at the comic division understands who, what, how their core longtime characters and readers have existed in such a bigoted, racism, misogynistic, etc society / world for so long. They are hiring writers and artists to promote this social agenda of theirs to the point sales are way down. And how do they respond? Lets call more of our avid buyers these above words yeah that'll sell more books! How can a marketing team not be fired and never employed again with that line of thinking is beyond me. The customer is always right.
  2. When a Bengal Tiger stalks its prey rarely does the prey see it before the stike. Alexandia safe zone has lots of trees, grass, houses and high wall. That tiger could have stayed hidden in a number of ways before it attacked. Do you really think the tiger would announce its location with a giant growl as it started to run? Its not cartoon time predators don't do heads up things like that.
  3. Solid season finale. The beginning battle already has taken a toll on Rick's group as well as his trust factor. Negan shows just how cunning a leader he really is. I like the Dwight message left to Daryl. All out war is here!
  4. The simplest answer usually is the correct one. So in my opinion I think the sales are suffering is because of a lack of alignment. Go see Thor in latest Avengers / Thor movies - go pick up a current Thor title its not him its Lady Thor. Go see Hulk in Avengers / Hulk / Thor movies - go pick up a current Hulk title its not him its totally awesome hulk. Go see Captain America in Avenger / Captain America movies - go pick up a Cap current title its not really him, its Sam Wilson, well he's kinda there but always was a Hydra agent. Go see Wolverine in the latest X-men / Logan movies - go pick up a current Wolverine title its not him its X-23, he's dead but there is a old man Logan around that is kinda him from another universe. IP's I agree are the darlings and as far as I see things Marvel has their heads up you know where because nothing you see on or in the MCU even remotely tie into current books. Plus what they did to the X-men last few years I'm out Marvel. Like the authority said I'm out.....hello Indies
  5. All the cards or should I say Dominoes on the table there!
  6. There was a dream sequence in one of the episodes 4 or 5 can't remember the number but its Cheryl turning around and her brother Jason is a zombie with the bullet hole in the head coming for her then she wakes up. Foreshadowing perhaps?
  7. I liked the amusement park WD style exploration. I'm a bit confused why Rosita thinks she can basically do anything when she failed the first time hardcore and people died because of it. I'm enjoying these episodes but her attitude this season really is grinding my gears.
  8. The Wolverine inside the shell AOU was a Skrull and the AOU Wolverine traded places while the real Wolverine did cave carvings and took lots of naps.
  9. No posts at all about this episode? I thought it was solid. I'm wondering where is everyone or has the new site chased posters away? Something is really off.
  10. +1 For a company this successful they sure are not lining up their current movies with the current lineup at all. You would think both would be in balance. I think Marvel missed a opportunity to synchronize a reboot of all their major books - Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Avengers etc all prior or around the time Iron Man MCU results were in and start a new legacy numbering with it.
  11. No worries. Maybe they realize this "experiment" sales wise didn't work out so well now that DC is kicking their collective hind quarters with their Rebirth launch. I had this discussion a couple weeks ago with friends and my point to them was why can't these legacy fill-ins have their own identity / mantle without leeching onto their original. For instance Tony Stark (Iron Man) make a suit for Riri and not his suit / name. What is really bad is X-men last 2 years I've stopped buying and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I honestly don't think Marvel even knows who / what made the x-men who they are.
  12. That really isn't a valid defense considering Cap is still around after 75 plus years. My grandfather used to read issues when he was a kid and so did my father. They are both gone now so why is Cap still around? These characters that have longtime following become brands unto themselves and when you mess / swap and turn off long term fans to try and grab new ones you end up confusing several demographics at once. If something that is old can't translate well then why do Pepsi, Coke, Mercedes, BMW, GE and on and on use same logos for their brands.
  13. If I was her, I'd phase in, grab his wallet and phase out like a boss. Guess Star-Lord ran out of cash.
  14. For F@k sakes, I knew it. Always comes down to money. Budget budget budget. Ugh. Even super secret super-human manufacturing facilities like Department whatever or Weapons Plus or Weapon X run short on money. Especially when a certain someone is promising to slash budgets of government programs. I heard there's a new rule that you have to eliminate two ultra secret black ops hidden spy agencies for every new one you create now. That's gotta play havoc with the budgets... Difference is in comic books money is no object oh wait the same applies to real life politicians. After all 20 trillion in debt hole is just a scratch right?
  15. X-men Resurrection is most likely when he'll return. I read a interview somewhere a few months about how all these legacy characters that have been holding the mantle will lead to the originals coming back i.e Original Thor becomes worthy again, Tony Stark takes over Iron Man and Wolverine etc. Seems the most likely route there are taking.
  16. I think an over saturation of McFarlane art is the most obvious and likely answer. -J. Not to pick on JSC specially but the same could be said about his covers. Not rare and all over the place. The topic was in regard to original art prices. Maybe so but my response is still valid. There is over saturation everywhere on these "hot" artists
