Sorry for the type-o's.  In a hurry for a lunch meeting.

I have no doubt that Marvel is just doing this to try sell more comics and get some mainstream press.  I am sure that like everyone else is the comic indusrty, Marvel is made up of mostly Obama supporter.  But this just seems cheap, like the Obama speail edition collectors plates.

I can respect what Erik Larson did in Savage Dragon because it did not feel like he was jumping on the Obama band wagon. 

And by the way, WFT!!!!! Obama does not like Superman.  Now I'm glad I voted for McCain.

What can save the comic book industry?  Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, or what ever other company has the god damn balls to put their flag ship books back in store other than comic shops and book stores.  I talking Wal-Mart, super markets, drug stores, gas stations, or where ever your can get them in fornt of your consumer. 

I remember going to the store with my mom on the weekends and drive her nuts becuase we could not leave until i looked throught spinning rack of comics to see what was new.  The closest comic book store was about 30 miles from our town, so I would not start going there regularly until I could drive.  I bought every copy of Batman, Detective Comics, X-men, and Spiderman that came out off those spinning racks.  And once a month I would talk my dad into driving me to the comic shop to buy books I could not get in on the spinning racks, like Nightwing, Moonknight, Punisher.

The big companies can blame the internet, video games, tv, or any other bullshit reason why sales are dropping and the average reader is getting older.   But if I, Joe Fanboy, has to go out of his way to buy comics from a loacl comic store; how the hell is some kid going to be exposed to this dying art form.

 WAIT!!!! STOP!!!! I forgot there was a special package of Spiderman 3 sold at Wal-Mart with an exclusive Comic written by  Brian Michael Bendis.  That is how they are going to turn this around.  Give away an exclusive comic at a store that does not sell comics and make a big deal that it is a book written by Bendis.  And let's pretend that people out side of current comic readers know who the fuck is Brian Michael Bendis.  It's been about a year since that came out, I can feel the ship turning around any minute now.......any minute now.......maybe now........

God, writing this makes me want to reading comics.

It maybe just me, but now that Ennis is gone I would like to see a story arc written by Jason Aaron.

I think this book is getting better each issue.  I did not like the Russia story during my first read, but I read it again this week and it is alot better the second time through.

thisisegan, the techknigth story was great.  How can you not like a story that begins with Techknigth (Batman/Ironman) in full costume telling his shrink "Doc, I cannot stop F#cking thing."
