November 29, 2011 9:25 am Well, if you are talking about re-living the 90s mistakes, look at DC's editorial staff and artists you might as well get McFarlane in it and call it Image.

July 30, 2011 10:43 am I'm not very fond of the new direction the Hellfire Club is taking, I hope it doesn't ruin an otherwise good idea. Please, don't turn into Robocop 2!!!

July 30, 2011 10:36 am I think the Legacy title was one of the best Marvel titles when it was about the introspective journey of Xavier and the meaning of the X-Men. Ever since Carey decided to turn it it into Rogue Adventures (adding the mega-pointless Age of X event) it has gone to hell.

July 6, 2011 3:41 pm Throught the Golden to the Silver Age of comics, they were not only mainstream, but household items, can't forget about it. Today, the characters are very mainstream, it's very "in" to wear a t-shirt or a keychain with a dashing superhero on it, but for regular, non-comic book reading folk, three things happen:

1.- Most don't like reading, at all.
2.- Diving into the mythology seems like too much, and still consider people into that "loner geeks" (remember geek is a derrogatory term meaning "freak" and not used exclusively for nerds).
3.- Most people have other hobbies and interests that already consume their spare time.

In my opinion, comic books as a mainstream item is a thing of the past, and their only chance to stay alive quite possibly is that the characters keep being relevant in movies, cartoons, and videogames, that may or may not be as good as hardcore fans wish, but, they keep the artists fed and the characters existing. Some may like it, some may not, but, as stated before, it is a necessity.

July 1, 2011 4:26 pm Some people are going to feel really dumb when a couple of months after the reboot, everything goes back to the status quo, as it always has...

June 9, 2011 8:04 pm What's with Marvel and DC lately? They hire chimps for editorial staff to save a buck? X-Men's civil war, I hope it doesn't suck like the previous civil war...

May 3, 2011 8:16 pm @swifty This title isn't half bad, and the previous X-FOrce volume ROCKED as well!

May 3, 2011 8:09 pm You guys just rock so brutally!

May 3, 2011 10:50 am I already saw it, you'll get a watered down "Ultimates" type of deal, in my humble opinion, the weakest of Marvel Studios independent efforts. Still entertaining though.
