September 12, 2012 3:22 pm Wasn't it around Civil War when Ellis came on? But yes they've rebooted this book a lot. Each time, it's been critically acclaimed but not selling well...

December 9, 2011 1:05 pm Civil War was ok but it always seems that the build up and concept of Marvel Events is so much better than the actual result. Cicil War and Secret Invasion for instance. Frankly relying on Jeph Loeb as the build up is just a terrible terrible idea. He killed the Ultimate universe with his build-up and event that was Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum and I wasn't a big fan of his Red Hulk work. Ideally they should just lock him in a room with Tim Sale for the rest of his life so some quality work can come out of him again. The concept is an interesting one in terms of a returning Phoenix Force and a possible Richard Rider return has me excited but battling for the soul of the X-Kids didn't really work in Schism so I'm a little bit worried that they're going back to that well again.
