December 7, 2011 3:48 pm Well, there's another year of Marvel's core titles that I will be tuning out.

December 5, 2011 1:31 pm The reduced price will definitely encourage me to check out or regularly buy some Dark Horse titles that I would have otherwise been on the fence about.

December 2, 2011 9:00 pm But if I'm not creepy enough to freak out the professional (and hopefully my fellow fans), how will they know that I'm a *real* fan?

November 30, 2011 11:55 am As a big, fat character myself, I've always wondered about the Blob and his costume. How does he keep from chaffing? Maybe that's why he's so mean.

November 19, 2011 9:13 pm The relaunch is my first time checking out Blue Beetle, and I'm really enjoying it. But the Spanglish is really starting to annoy me. I understand the character is Latino, and the writer wants to give the book some cultural flavor. That's cool, but he needs to find another way to do it.

November 19, 2011 8:16 pm Which is why I buy directly from the Comixology web site instead of through the Apple app. More money goes to the publisher (and hopefully the creatives).

November 17, 2011 5:05 pm Agreed. If the title isn't selling, it isn't selling. Why should it get pardoned because the gender is of the character or writer is female?

November 17, 2011 4:50 pm I really like the idea of a Marvel Presents (ala DCU Presents) that a couple of posters have mentioned. Let some of Marvel's B-Listers shine without the pressure of having to anchor an entire series. I also think that Marvel is shooting itself in the foot with moving everything to be either Avengers-centric or X-Men-centric. Part of what drove me away from comics years ago was the endless cross-overs and events. Now that I'm back, I'm extremely hesitant to pick up any Marvel titles. Whether true or not, my perception is that I'll once again I'll be pushed to buy every title just to keep up, or that I'll have to suffer through some insipid event cross-over that interrupts the normal flow of the titles I read. That said, I have seen some glimmers of hope from Marvel since returning. I'm excited to see that they've brought back what looks to be Marvel Team-Up with Avenging Spider-Man. I've heard really good things about Avengers Academy and Thunderbolts. And I recently found out that Nick Spencer is writing Ultimate X-Men. So I'll probably dip my foot in to test the waters, but the instant the mega-cross-over begins, I'll be gone again.

November 16, 2011 12:44 pm Putting a fight scene on the cover of a book written by Brian Michael Bendis is false advertising.

November 11, 2011 10:50 am I wonder if Marvel is going to count the included digital copy as a separate issue for promotional purposes, effectively allowing them to claim twice as many issues "sold".
