Shadowland Event

That's bull shit though. DC changed practically all their titles to $2.99, and Marvel still remains at $3.99. I'm paying $3.99 over once a month for Amazing Spider-Man ALONE, each month, and I can get any Flash, Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman (or even Green Lantern) for $2.99. What is Marvel thi...

Shadowland Event

So why did "Magneto" and the Black Panther title fall to $2.99? The former is a movie-related one-shot of normal length, landing it clearly under the banner of something limited that is not part of an event nor of a page count that merits a price hike. As for Black Panther, I suspect they...

Shadowland Event

Nice letter. :) On a side (and almost entirely unrelated) note, I do want to know what happened to that statement that all titles for Marvel starting in January 2011 dropping to $2.99. I can give you the answer to that: They never said any such thing; although, it's what a lot of people mistakenly t...

Confused about Comic order

I ran into one that got as far as Nation X or so and ran across a forum where people were working with more recent arcs. It's a big enough project that I can understand why people would give up after a while. On the plus side, figuring out the order of arcs between UXM and GH is easy 'cause the writ...

Confused about Comic order

Thanks. Is there an order for Heroic age comics? Some comic arcs have a correct order for the issues, like Chaos War. I want the timeline for all X-Men comics, plus characters related to the X-Men, as well as comics that involve the X-Men. It's only really since last year I got stuck with the order...

Axel Alonso makes Marvel E.I.C.

There are certain things for which Quesada could legitimately be blamed (the famous "genies" being obvious examples), but I'm not saying he should be blamed for everything. There are others in the works who can muck up an idea just as effectively as the guy at the top of the food chain. He...

Dammit, I love my husband. We watched the teaser, and the silhouette animation for what I believe is the girl player character resulted in the following comment: "Who is that? Sailor Moon?" Ahem. Other than the goatee, I don't think the concept art for Kurt looks so bad. He looks like he's...

Quesada isn't out of the publishing department at all. He's still a Grand Overseer of sorts to make sure the character portrayals remain as they should (*cough*) but is no longer directly involved in story development. He's only directly involved in story and script development for animation and fil...

I would like to think being it's a new writer on a classic title, with a lot of characters loved by many fans, it would make sense that once in awhile they hover over him to make sure he's got it right. I get correcting him when he's contradicting continuity or depicting a someone as wildly out of ...

Isn't Fantastic Four ending in preparation for FF ? I can't keep up with all the reboots, much less on titles I don't read. :P I wouldn't expect much in the way of positive development until after the Fear event, which will be crossing into the X-titles. Before that, there's AoX and some kind of cri...

I'm definitely more of an artist than a writer. I've done more sculpting and painting with acrylics than digital work so far, but I'm learning. I'm debating over fleshing out the sketch a bit more before taking a second go at the Kurt image. Winging the face was resulting in him looking a bit like m...

Storm was there once already, via video call on a computer in the first issue. Her husband told her to stay away so he could maintain his cover and do what it is he's trying to do, and she agreed. The comics don't have to be depressing for there to be a significant impact from his death. In fact, th...

The pros? Kurt's probably gotten more panel time since died than he did in the previous year. (Yeah, I went there.) It did allow Emma to have a rare moment of character depth in the scene where she discussed naming her gray hairs. Honestly, I don't think his death had much more than a superficial im...

I get why they killed Kurt. I still think it's stupid, but I get it. I still think it was unnecessary, but I get it. They needed the man of faith--sadly, he was characterized as little else by that point--to put his faith in Hope. What really bothers me is that he was used as a prop in a pattern tha...

It occurred to me that Kurt likely won't be appearing in any ongoing title, other than in flashbacks, once X-Men Forever ends. He hasn't had his own mutation in that title for months and really hasn't had much focus. I miss the fuzzy blue elf. :( As far as comics go, I still read quite the pile. Cur...

Well, you could give the new Dungeons & Dragons title by IDW (I think) a try. The lead-up in the #0 issue was the most fun I've had reading a comic in a long time, a situation that's rather sad when I think about it. Issue #1 was quite enjoyable as well. The content in comics is probably more of...
