I think I've seen Storm or somebody explain "sterile" as people whose X-gene should be activating but isn't. But I dunno. What I'm wondering is, what the hell is M-Pox? Do stupid people just think the Terrigen's effects on mutants is somehow contagious?

And all the unambiguously villainous stuff (extraordinary rendition to an extradimensional prison for an unspecified term, psychotic criminals as hero-hunters, immediately try to kill Spider-Man when you just *think* he might defect) was in the main Civil War series too, which is why the "it's the fault of the tie-ins" never held water for me. The whole thing was botched from beginning to end.

He was pretty cool right up through Crisis on Infinite Earths. And historically cool for the twenty or so years after that. Then Infinite Crisis happened. And then Countdown to Final Crisis Happened. And then Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds happened. So the "inconsistently written" bit is technically true, just not in the way that person meant. And all of the "inconsistent" stuff has come from basically one guy, who had a terrible idea to bring back a character who didn't need to be brought back and ran with it, despite pretty much the entire audience telling him to stop. Geoff Johns is terrible, is what I'm saying.

Endless Mike posted:Diamond publishes their direct sales numbers. They're available on comichron.com. Comic Beat does a monthly analysis of the numbers comparing to previous sales that's pretty good. Technically, ICV2 makes estimates of the sales numbers based on the sales rankings Diamond releases. Pretty much every pro triple-swears that these estimates are always wrong, but they can still show general trends pretty well.

I regard Infinite Crisis as crap. It's obnoxiously edgelordy, you can see all the spots where they decided to veer in a different direction at the last minute, and the meta-commentary falls apart when you remember that the writer is one of the people who spent the last 2-3 years real time making the DCU so stupidly grimdark in the first place.

That or during the whole supervirus thing that happened right before that. Mike Carey basically reset her to "just power-stealing" during his run on X-Men & X-Men: Legacy. And then she, like, absorbed Wonder Man during Remender's Uncanny Avengers, so she's got ionic powers now, too.

Up until very recently, the digital codes were for a digital version of the book you bought. Marvel just changed that to now having one code in all the books for a week or month that lets you download some selected back issues. It's a sop to brick-and-mortar stores. As for eBay, some people who bought physical copies and didn't care about the digital ones would auction them off (emailing the code to the winner) to recoup some of the cost of the physical book. Which is probably another reason Marvel changed their policy. I have no idea what tearing the sticker off does to the physical comic's resale value.

Lurdiak posted:Spider-man's strength has gone down considerably since the 70s. He used to be able to take out The Avengers or The X-men by himself, now he'd get obliterated if he tried to take Colossus in a straight fight. Strength isn't the only thing that matters in fights. Spidey wins most of his fights due to speed/agility and his webbing. If he just stood there and traded punches, Colossus would crush his skull with the first one, but he's gonna be jumping around. Spidey's always been in the 10-ish ton range as far as strength goes.
