Marvel doesn’t need to state this. If you don’t like the comics anymore,
they are not for you. The readers should recognize this and move on.

Agreed... I moved on many years ago and only keep up with what I hear in the news/social media.

Thankful, JB has given me a great comic book "fix" here with his X-Men: Elsewhen series.

-C!

Sorry? Is that image in the link She-Hulk in the main panel?!

Curious move given that I suspect the MCU version will follow the more traditional look and might lead new readers to the book. It's like Marvel don't actually want to sell comics.

Bruce Banner's refusal to recognize that her superhero life could be in some ways worse-off than his own; remarking that she once wished they could trade places."

This sounds just as dumb as when it appeared in that Avengers issue. Bruce Banner regularly wakes up half naked and homeless. He has an entire Army group dedicated to capturing and/or killing him. She-Hulk's complaint was that photographers tried getting pictures of her ass.

Exactly. This is why I have mostly moved on from Marvel and DC to other companies. There are exceptions though - Daredevil is really good and there are a couple other Marvel comics I enjoy. I don't think I am reading anything from DC currently.

I still read new comics. Yeah, I think a lot of what Jason Aaron has done with the Avengers (and, in my opinion, his Thor run) has read like fan fiction. I just don't buy the comics I don't like. I did the same thing when I was younger. 

Where is that fine line between what has come before that changed the status quo and what many writers are doing with familiar characters now*? As dumb as some of think the She-Hulk storyline is there are probably people reading the Avengers currently who love it.



*Though it does at times feel like a new writer comes onto a Marvel book and their first thought is how much they can change things.

Perhaps this is an example of Mr. Byrne's oft cited quote: The point is to write the best Captain Fonebone stories, not how to fit Captain Fonebone into their stories (and likely misquoted due to my crappy memory. Is someone making toast? I taste pennies...)
