Haven't you heard, Brad? No one smokes in the Marvel Universe. They never have. Never never never... Showing a character smoking might encourage one of our young and impressionable 38-year-old readers to take up the deadly habit and then die. Yes, die. It is that important, dammit!

Meanwhile, the John Constantine figure, in the DC collection, is sporting a cigarette.

Hard to picture Nick Fury, JJJ, Logan, or Ben Grimm (at one of his poker games) not sporting a stogie, but what are you going to do? After all, Joe Quesada says they don't want to be a bad influence on kids by showing people lighting up!
Wait, the same Joe Quesada that doesn't believe kids read comics, and that regularly puts the above characters in books that wouldn't be appropriate for kids anyway?
Yeah, I can't figure it out either.

Mixed emotions on this. Sorry on the one hand to see the series end, but on the other, they have been straining the definition of "classic" for quite some time now!

The upside is that I'll finally be able to figure out how much shelf space I need.

Space is getting tight, but still sad to see it go.
