Mercury Man

Short & sweet to the OP question: No

Plus.....PRICE YOUR STUFF CORRECTLY BEFORE YOU PUT IT OUT!

Short sighted owner just lost a $10 sale on dollar books, only to hold onto something that he will probably liquidate in a few years when he is out of business at .20 each.

Just sell it back to Marvel please....

I was a reader in Bronze, a 'Collector' (ie full runs, #1 issues etc.) in Copper, then went back to get more Bronze, and tried to put together runs.

Bronze is my favorite, since that is my childhood, but I also collect the others, try to put to together runs, but Bronze only?....no.

I think the speculators are back, and that is not good for any collectible. Look at what is going on with some of the Modern books. It eventually will implode when they all want to sell and realize they overpaid for that variant, once they have to start selling for a loss.

Imagine a long winded WHAT IF story, that seemingly has no end in sight. There is an awful lot of work going into this story line, that will ultimately end in a big "Well it never really happened, it was all the Cosmic Cube". This is not Steve Rogers, it is Steve Rogers in a fake reality (aside from the usual all comics are fake reality), but you get my point. Or wait....are we talking about Sam Wilson's Captain America?? Way to confuse a simple topic MARVEL!!

People pay $5000 for variants:

It's not bad. Easier to post pics.

Exactly. From a character driven standpoint, their Comic Book Universe is a mess, compared to their movies. You will not get new readers by confusing them right off the bat. I understand demographics, and I understand the readership is slowly changing. I think the stat is more women are reading comics/graphic novels than men (someone correct me if I am wrong). But guess what, there is nothing written that says they don't want Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Clint Barton etc etc. As for female and minority characters- CREATE MORE OR FURTHER DEVELOP THE GREAT ONES YOU HAVE !!

Given the disaster of the 2015 Fantastic Four movie, Marvel probably figured it would be best to shelve the title, while the public forgets that movie was ever made. It should be about time now to bring them back. There is no way that the FF should be gone as a flagship title for this long. Bring in top talent, and make the Fantastic Four relevant again!

Darkhawk....50 issues successful ongoing?

Marvel either A) Overestimated the younger generations willingness to buy comics, even one's with 'legacy' characters B) Doesn't give a about it's core comic buyers, which hasn't really changed much for the last 30 years, and just writes out established characters on a whim, serving their general agenda. Numbers don't lie. Unless it is a #1 issue, Marvel has lost a lot of ground to DC in the sales boards. Look at Decembers sales: Totally Awesome Hulk, nobody is buying that book. Miles Morales is 58th compared to Peter Parker at 22nd. Sam Wilson Captain America 114th?!? End it already.

Cool!

Shhhh.....you'll wake the Variant Hounds

I always enjoyed the Bronze Age FF covers.

It is also convenient (and lazy) to have the Cosmic Cube lying around. I'm pretty sure that is the route they will take. "Oh...our current story arcs, model, and themes suck right now? Here let's reset it with the Cosmic Cube". I would like to see a majority, but not all, of the 'Legacy' characters, get shuffled off back to another Universe, (I am looking at you Miles Morales). That way they can continue as characters to those that find them interesting, and they can clean up all of these multiple heroes running around.

Totally agree. Aside from being entertained, I don't like agendas in my entertainment dollar. These writers feel like their political and social beliefs need to be yours. I sometimes feel many of these new Marvel writers are now just preachers.

Also- the movies. They are hot. They are cash cows. People can't get enough. Suppose a kid new to this, wants to look more into this comic book world, and walks in to a shop looking at the Marvel New Releases....Well no Tony Stark as Iron Man....Wolverine is not Logan, Bruce Banner?? Where is he?? Thor is a female, but here kid the real Thor is 'Unworthy'. Steve Rogers, oh he's Captain America, but he is tied into one huge....long....ongoing WHAT IF Story that seems to never want to end. You like Spiderman? Great which one?? If I were a kid today new to Marvel Comics, I would be so confused.

Please do PopKulture, and yes, Hank sounds familiar. They had baseball cards too, but those were pretty much picked over. I had a friend with two older brothers who cleaned out his Hall of Famers from the 1950's/1960's.

Fairly recent

Good read..... https://moviepilot.com/p/marvel-comics-legacy-heroes-politics-x-men/4204054

Wow thanks everybody. Yes that looks very familiar, especially the front windows, and you are correct Catman, it was red (and what a great flyer artifact). Such a big part of my early 1980's childhood. I used to walk down there from Church on Sundays, then walk home, about a 1 1/2 miles . I was into GI Joe, and Moon Knight back then. I also picked up many Iron Man Bronze age issues there, and my first Silver Age purchase ever, an X-Men #47. Unfortunately, those books are long gone, and I have to rebuild those particular runs. Thanks again!
