January 13, 2010 9:43 pm I dunno. Wouldn't it be slightly more noble for Marvel to collect the whole issue and then redistribute them to, like, schools in poor areas or maybe even to the troops overseas? Is there a retail issue why that's not possible? It just seems like a massive waste of comics, regardless of whether or not they "sell."
May 28, 2009 4:03 pm Has everyone posted their story so far? If there's anyone who still hasn't yet, please do so. I'd like the chance to see them all.
April 19, 2009 8:50 pm What about some autobiographical comics, like Blankets or Persepolis? Fun Home by Alison Bechdel was voted by Time magazine as number one of its 10 Best Books of the Year for '06.
When I wrote the Spidey/Skrull letter last week, I guess my main point was "why not kill 2 birds..." You've got A: a Skrull/body snatcher story coming up and B: a character who you want to update (retcon). So why not just have these two storylines merge (like a Seinfeld ep.) I'm not saying this is a better choice, I'm just wondering if it flows better organically into the story.
I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum and my intention was not to start a war here. The Secret Invasion video show got me thinking about the "no big reveals dilemna" and the Spidey/Mephisto thing has always bugged me. I'm sure the book is good now, & I'm glad, but my curious nature always ends up getting the better of me.
