"I thought All-star Superman stunk myself."
Thank you for your opinion.
***
You are welcome. Glad you enoyed it though.
There have been books I've liked that you haven't, just so you know. Doesn't bother me.

"Isn't that all any of us is offering?"
Yeah, but saying "It stinks!" in response to "It was great that they showed Superman in action a few pages in instead of wasting twelve issues on him discovering his powers" was a bit...odd.

QUOTE:
| Underlying all these arguments that criticise the Marvel of today is a contradiction. We want originality but we want the same as went before - we want Spider-man to stay the same (some even argue he should be 16 forever) but we want new and dynamic stories. I don't think you can have both. If you want Marvel to be a House of Ideas then you have to take the good with the bad, you need a Marvel willing to take chances, not all of which will succeed. Since Jemas left and Marvel has become more successful and profitable it has become more conservative. |

Complete fallacy.
Publish Spider-Man.
Publish New-Hero-Man.
One is old and true to character, one is fresh and new, and hopefully doesn't suck like crap on a stick.
End.

| Lee, Kirby and Ditko took chances - they didn't worry about being true to the characters, or respecting the genre, or making sure the toys were all back in the box when they finished, they made great comics. |

Kinda hard to be true to the characters when it's their first issue ever. That said the initial Lee\Kirby 100 issues of FF v1 are all true to character after creation of archetype.
I.e.- every single member of the cast ends up with 2 eyes.

Someday I'd love to see you do a CAPTAIN FONEBONE comic.

It'd be perfect, if done like the old WHAT TH--? book. We need to explode cliches of the medium with humor from time to time... not to laugh AT those cliches but to acknowledge them in a lighthearted way.

Well, at least we will have a definitive answer on who the X-men Deadly Geneis SPOILER 3rd Summers Brother is
That Brubaker, he sure likes to take on the untakeonable.

I think it's really Thunderbird, having been empowered through some kind of symbiosis with the floating chunk of Krakoa-- and with his telepathy, Charles Xavier knew T-bird wasn't dead (thus the "bastard" remarks by Moira)
