There's probably something in that the people who spend literally 80-100 bucks a week on books alone aren't buying Ms. Marvel or Spider-Woman, and the people who are buying those books are only buying one or two books a week. And the former group probably spends a lot more money on merchandise as well. I mean, videogames aren't exactly the same as comic books, but the high spending category in both probably has decent overlap and this just came out. http://kotaku.com/look-at-this-699-witcher-3-statue-1793882458

X-O posted:This is what a lot of people don't understand. In an ideal world you could have Jane Foster get powers and have her own identity that isn't taking over for Thor but that book wouldn't make it past issue 10 if it even got that far. With the name Thor on the cover that books is going to sale at a certain level regardless. You're even going to have a certain whiny, but admittedly smaller, section of the readership that hates Jane Foster still reading because it's a Thor book and they never would have picked up the book otherwise. Yeah, that's why Riri is becoming (or became, I mostly only read Marvel on Unlimited) Iron-Man instead of getting a differently titled book and Miles Morales book is just called Spider-Man (I seriously can't believe there were people here who thought Miles should be called Spider-Boy when he entered the 616, was that Mr President?)

The financials of Image versus Big 2 hire are so whacked I'm surprised anyone writes for the bif 2 for more than a couple years to get established. I can't remember who, but someone like Hickman or Fraction said they make more money off a 10K selling Image comic than a 40K selling Marvel or DC book.

Onmi posted:So, to confirm, just cause I'm not seeing it there, the artist has either left of his own accord or been fired. I'm betting he got fired, I just wonder if it's gonna delay any future issues he's already completed while they go over the art with a fine tooth comb. Edit, naw they'll just play it safe and have Greg Land redraw everything so they can get it out in time. Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Apr 11, 2017 |

twistedmentat posted:Leth said Hellcat is ending on her terms. That could also mean they said "hey the books not selling, so wrap it up in X issues?" It's definitely that, she had a tweet about people saying to her "Hellcat's ending? I need to catch up on it" and her response being, "that's why it's ending."

rkajdi posted:Again, why? If I have a budget and can get X number of books, wouldn't it make sense to get the ones that are actually going somewhere? I'm not saying buy the most popular stuff, but if you're making a decision between say Ms. Marvel and Unstoppable Wasp, going with the latter just seems like a bad bet. You're attitude is why we won't have Hellcat anymore. Full disclosure, bought the first issue of Hellcat, loved it, then didn't buy anymore issues, for basically the same reason you don't buy Unstoppable Wasp.

Nick Spencer keeps trying to do an old school Vertigo comic where you set up a bazillion plot threads and let them play out over 70 issues or whatever, but doesn't remember to make the individual story arcs interesting.

Happy Hippo posted:I kind of used Secret Wars as a jumping off point for Marvel (money concerns) so I'm out of the loop. I saw something on Google earlier about yet another line-wide reboot or whatever and the original numbering being brought back..? There were several new books that got relaunched at number 1 right after Secret Wars. Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel has had 3 number ones, Howard the Duck got a new number 1 after five issues without any change in creative team or direction of the comic. Maybe your talking about Heroes Reborn in the 90s? Most of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four "died" then came back awhile later with new number 1's, some of those went back to the original numbering, usually at a fiftieth or hundredth milestone.

X-O posted:Besides his oh so brief time on a farm I'm not sure you can really qualify Thanos as ever being a full on good guy or really even halfway there. He was always on the side that eventually worked out best for him. Even in something like Infinity Abyss where he's fighting his evil clones or in Marvel: The End where he literally saves the entire universe and nobody knows about it. He did those things purely out of self interest. Starlin wrote him nuanced but never really on the side of good because it was the side of good. He was a good guy in that mini that I don't think was supposed to be a mini that predates and kinda leads into Annihilation.

X-O posted:Yeah Daredevil has been consistently good for like 15 years now. Given the high quality of his indie stuff I think he just batted heads with Marvel editorial too often. His best Marvel work is the stuff unconnected to ongoing plots but Marvel kept wanting him to be an "architect" of events. He quit Marvel in the middle of working on the first attempt to make Inhumans a thing.

I thought it was a pretty drat good run, especially considering he was stuck with the "fix it so Tony isn't a facist anymore" story beat. That was actually really great. They should probably bring him back to fix whatever the gently caress Nick Spencer is doing to Captain America.

Lobok posted:I'm reading old Thor comics and Len Wein and Walt Simonson just ended their run (Simonson comes back later obvs). In their place is Roy Thomas and John Buscema. Now, maybe it's the inking, but I never thought I would ever consider Buscema a downgrade. But it's true. Simonson's stuff was better. I haven't read it, but it might be Roy Thomas' fault. I think it's a bit easier to save bad art with good writing than it is to save bad writing with good art. I like Roy Thomas too, it's just Walt Simonson was firing on all cylinders.

Kai Tave posted:Just like most people who take issue with Secret War don't think Marvel's actually going to keep Captain America as a Nazi, most people who take issue with Secret War don't actually think that Marvel Editorial has a mandate to make Nazis cool and good, but "let's take an iconic character that represents freedom and justice and punching Hitler in the face, created by a couple of Jewish guys, and write a story where he gets magicked into always having been a Nazi" along with all the other dumb poo poo that springs forth from that decision, written by a guy who spends all his free time being a dickhead on Twitter, sure does have what the kids these days are calling "bad optics." Secret War was the good event (also several bad events and a non-event miniseries), this is Secret Empire the bad Captain America event (that was also a good Captain America storyline 40 years ago).
