My recent post on Marvel

I am sure they will delete this. Positive in fact, but as some of you know, Marvel in its brilliance killed our man, Nightcrawler.
This will not do.

I have been a dedicated collector since 1983. X-books have been my comic of choice since Jim Shooter was in office. We've been through a lot, and month to month I have placed my money on the great altar of comics.
I've been there through good and bad, thick and thin, and month to month I have gotten your comics.
Killing Nightcrawler, my favorite character for 27 years, I am forced now to exert the only control I have. Effective immediately, I am cancelling all my pulls from your company, with the singular exception of Chris Claremont's X-men Forever. As a consumer, you have placed me in this position where I can only react with the only power I have, ending my financial support of your company.
In the past 7 years, your company has fallen from grace, and not by inches. I pick up the books these days and all I see is death, and nonsense. Your storytelling has fallen to 'kill something bigger or better or more important' as a paltry attempt to lend meaning to otherwise mediocre or poor writing. I deeply regret I will be missing Peter David's excellent writing, but it falls into the titles of your standard universe, which you just don't seem to care about anymore. Killing Nightcrawler is just another useless death in a badly written attempt to shock and try to force us to throw more money after bad.
I hope you reconsider and this death is another simplistic smoke and mirrors trick, like last year when you stabbed him with a spirit knife or something inane like that. But lets face it, you haven't really respected any of Dave Cockrum's additions to the universe, even though you built a corporation on his and Claremont's work.
Deadly Genesis? Poorly written, Bad shock comics, ugh
Killing Corsair and destroying the Starjammers? Why? Did you just feel the need to destroy anything Dave added to the universe?
And now Nightcrawler? You should be ashamed, and I can no longer in good conscious send you my 50 to 75 dollars a month.
My hope is that Joe Quesada reins in the idiocy that has become the x-books writing, and whomever is and has been responsible for this story editting is summarily sent to the help wanted adds looking for a new job.
Until this is fixed, I will only be spending my money in the universe where Dave's creations still exist, Claremont's X-men forever, and I can save the money I was spending on these books hoping they would get better.
I am severely, severely dissappointed in you marvel.
