It's classic for the same reason ****ty music always sells a lot of albums.
Yeah, but that doesn't make it good.
And those two generally have nothing to do with the first. Boycotting a business wholesale is not really the way to get that business to change certain aspects of itself. It's like dropping a bomb on a fly.
That'll never happen, but it's nice to think it might.
Then there are his stories that go on and on and get no where, same's done with the Hulk. The whole epic with him off planet started off okay then just ran too long, I quit reading it. It's like yeah just have him come back and smash and get revenge. Instead it's just a long drawn out bunch of too many titles getting no where and taking a million years to say nothing!!!
And a concept I happily embrace.Maybe not, but it's still classic Marvel. It's what they've been doing for years, and have made money doing that for years. So they will continue to do it until fanboys wise up and stop buying the crap they're *****ing about. Read the good books, don't read the bad ones. It's such a simple concept.
Quesada came in as EIC right as I got into superhero comics. I was completely impressionable. All I knew was I really liked Batman and Captain America, and Superman and Ghost Rider were sort of cool. Quesada proceeded to push through one horrible change after another to a company that had always had the sorts of problems I still begrudge it, as I've said earlier. For me, Quesada ruined Marvel so completely that it took YEARS for me to be able to even bring myself to try anything Marvel other than Cap, and the very occasional Ghost Rider material that would get published.Darthphere said:Either way, for however negative I'm known to be, making such idiotic statements as "Quesada killed Marvel!" and "Marvel is done" is nothing but childish hyperbole.
I'd say it's the other way around, but the point is made.Darthphere said:For every bad title Marvel publishes, there are two that are worth getting.
I think the problem with Marvel at the moment, is that the FLAGSHIPS are the ones hurting the worst for terrible stories, while the smaller titles are FAR superior.

Reminds me of a conversation I was having about WildStorm the other day. I'm just gonna stop right there because what has happened to WildStorm is, on a lot of levels, one of the most depressing things in the world to me.I think the problem with Marvel at the moment, is that the FLAGSHIPS are the ones hurting the worst for terrible stories, while the smaller titles are FAR superior.
Thor and Iron Man are booooooooooooooooooooring.So Cap, Thor, Iron Man, etc. are all horrible now?
Daredevil is a massive disappointment, Thor and Iron Man are boring, F4 is a disappointment, Hulk has sucked for years now and continues to do so. Only Cap and X-Men are really kicking anything resembling ass.All Flagships.
All kicking ass.
The only flagship that's questionable is Spider-Man.
Wow, you have some lamentable taste in comics.
