There were also two statues, an action figure and t-shirts. He made a bunch of cash off MM merch. I wonder if he had to pay any of that back. Nobody thinks it's Todd because he clearly lost his suit with Neil and Neil got the spoils and Marvel's still publishing comics with Angela and poo poo.

I'm a comics socialist who cannot abide unvarnished praise of Stan Lee and even I think that's savage as gently caress.

So now that ComicsAlliance is dead, and they were my choice of comic book news sites for my RSS feed, who's a good replacement to slap in there?

They recommended Strong Female Protagonist and now the whole site is dead. A fitting reward for such creatures. (Just kidding, I miss Comics Alliance already but seriously? Did they actually read the comic before writing that column?)

Isn't Strong Female Protagonist one of those things that tries to make fun of/be "realistic" about superheroes but ends up just being a sub-par example of the genre? Like Worm or some poo poo.

I think the real sad thing is that I feel like Comics Alliance was just starting to get it's footing again. I feel like it never really regained the heights of what it was after the first time it died and for awhile it was more ScreenCrush stuff than actual new content. But it really looked like it was figuring itself out albeit still being much more clickbaity than it was before the original shutdown. Also, honestly, I hope that Chris Sims just sticks to his podcasts and writing comics. I like the guy but I feel like Comics Alliance allowed him to indulge himself in his own interests as opposed to someone like Collins or Cereno who I think did a much better job at shaping an identity for the site.

I always wondered if people were accidentally trying to recommend Strong Female Characters, the Beaton/Monardo/Gran series instead of Strong Female Protagonist, and got excited every time someone promised new material from SFP.

And Ask Chris gave me something to point at for the inevitable person who treats "Why doesn't Batman just donate all his money to charity to stop crime?" as a megaburn instead of just a conversation starter, and I'll always be grateful for that.

I think there were some sort of likeness rights issues with Bill Murray/the cast in general, which is also why the Real Ghostbusters cartoon didn't particularly look like the four main actors either. This coloring book took even more liberties, but maybe they were even more afraid of having to change things/getting sued.

I think I got to the lovely part of Alpha Flight. Some rear end in a top hat named "James D Hudnall" took over as writer and two issues in to his run he he has Sasquatch just magically turn back in to a man. Not even a male form of his new body, it's just flat out his old body. loving sucks.

I signed up for Marvel Unlimited and while reading the comics works out really well they need to work on their backend and give it some kind of structure. Because just going through a big alphabetical list of every series on the service kind of sucks. Also because of the Handbook thread I read the original Squadron Supreme for the first time and while I liked most of it the series as a whole just kind of flops at the ending.

I love that iconic storylines are collected as the original issues, that's how most people read them today after all.

I was reading Tales of Suspense and basically dropped off when I got to the first-ever Marvel cross promotion where Iron Man got into a cliffhanger that I then needed to jump to another book to read but there's no support for doing that at all in Unlimited so I would've had to exit out of the entire series, open the other one and scroll to the exact issue I needed, read it, then back out until the next time. It's a really great service but it desperately needs a task force to sit down and figure out a way of allowing people to create read-lists for storylines/characters/events (if they're not going to do it themselves) so that you don't have to hunt and peck during crossovers and promotions.
