Depending on how they mean this, this might be a good thing. If they mean " they will be no events, just series running their normal course", that would be perfect.

I stumbled across an article -- while looking for an article on reccomendations for indie superheroes -- where someone was saying that Marvel Legacy was the victory, well as they put it, "of the rational majority over the SJWs." Only read the headline as you can't pay me to read that article. Now, I I know Marvel CEO complained about some of the new heroes by claiming they were failing due to diversity or something like that. Sounds like rubbish to me, but he's the individual who gets the call the shots in the company. I like some of the new heroes, are they getting rid of them? Obviously, the articles exaggerating as most articles written like that do in their headlines (I swear, they're made intentionally to be obnoxious), but has there been some announcement that the new heroes are going away.

Edge & Christian posted:I mean, as of November solicitations (Month Three of Legacy), Steve Rogers is back as Captain America and Sam Wilson is back as Falcon. I mean, that'd be a pretty stupid decision. Even a lot of the conservative individuals I know loving hated Secret Empire for making Captain America Nazi and odinson a Nazi collaborator and such. So, I don't know if any white supremacy poo poo is going to be in there pipeline since they got so much poo poo for it, at least from the comments I saw. It's good to hear that the characters I like still have their own book and likely will. It is strange they're killing off the mighty Thor. I thought she was popular? I'm not surprised that Sam Wilson is back has the falcon. Having two Captain Americas was confusing and he's the Falcon in the movies right now so it fits. It seems like such a small yet insulting thing to go back to She-Hulk and I don't even know why. Its her original name but turning it back for no reason just feels like saying she's not worthy of the title for some reason. X-O posted:That was marketing saying that the newer heroes don't sell as well, not the CEO of Marvel. I'm not really surprised that new heroes don't sell as well as heroes that have been around decades and I'm sure nobody else is either. Oh, that's a lot better than I suppose. Better some marketing director than a CEO. And, no doubt. New characters always got it rough. Lurdiak posted:I doubt they're going to stuff America Chavez and Miss Marvel in a closet, but Marvel Legacy does seem to focus on bringing back "all your old favorites", which all happen to be white dudes. I don't think any of the new heroes are going to go away, but we're probably going to stop seeing a focused effort on creating new ones and they're less likely to keep a failing book about a new hero going because of critical praise. http://io9.gizmodo.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-marvels-legacy-projec-1797202223/amp I ran into this article while looking into one of my own. It looks like their real Focus officially is to balance the new Heroes and the old Heroes. Or more precisely they seem to think they lost fans and they want to see if they can get people back. So, it's probably exactly what you think. It seems like they are not stupid enough to just erase all the new Heroes and it seems like a lot of them keeping their own series and that they're going to do a thing now where the Legacy Heroes do team ups in their own specialized comics. They are saying that specifically not a a rejection of the diversification and modernization of comics. But that's just words. Guess actions will need to be seen. The list of new ideas worries me. I don't know why Spiderman always have to go back to being poor and working with the bugle. I really worried about Captain America doing a cross-country road trip to reconnect with America. That can be a shitstorm. And making Deadpool evil again just seems like a bad idea considering his recent success as a superhero movie with sequel coming soon. As an aside, apparently Marvel Legacy is having some trouble getting comic shops to buy it because they are demanding a high minimum of each issue from retailers. Seems like a bad idea considering the fact that they're trailing DC ever since rebirth.

It's taking a piss out of the negative reaction to Secret Empire. It's like Captain America does a twitter post saying "hail hydra", gets flooded with negative replies saying how terrible this is and how dumb he is for doing this, and, frightened, follows up with a "j/k" tweet.

Bringing back Moon Knight makes sense. Many view him as Marvel's Batman and literally every high selling comic in the last few months had Batman in it. Like, literally, the top 10 on average have been all Batman since well before Metal. So, perfect time to bring back what people who never read it view as Marvel's Batman.

I loved Spectacular Spider-Man and Mighty Thor. Reading Punisher now. I thought the Avengers cross-over is going good as well. I liked Loki Doctor Strange. So far a pretty good haul for my Marvel stuff. My only complaint: like a ton of poo poo on my pull list had to come out all the same time. Oh well, got a new job, but, still, RIP wallet.

That could mean that he quit, but, from experience, it could equally mean he was told to quit. I was told to accept mutually separated or be fired because they needed to cut people and I made 10,000 more than everyone else. So, I'm not saying he was fired, but he could have been fired.

http://www.comicsbeat.com/c-b-cebulskis-appointment-as-eic-signals-that-the-old-marvel-is-dead/ Comicbeat has an interesting article on this. They feel Marvel might be trying to grow its hold on international markets with this move in EIC. Apparently, Cebulski was head of a project to get a foothold in asian markets and there is some evidence they may have moved him to head due to this experience. There is certainly some resentment hidden in their view ("over the last 10 years, books have grown 60%, comics 30%" certainly gives away some feelings on the subject in their press release) over how little comics were growing in the US market so its possible Marvel's new solution is to to get a bunch of new markets opened up and grow through those means.

All-New Wolverine continues to be good. Not Brand Ech was mostly funny. Some jokes fell flat. I liked the Secret Empire recap, the final page, and the gwenpool short. I didn't realize Marvel had a brand of comics where they tell mature stories with their characters so, since I just have Punisher on my pool list, I was pleasantly surprised with Punisher: Platoon. What else do they publish as Max Comics? X-Men Gold had another okay issue. It's such an "X-Men" series, you know? I prefer Blue to Gold because of that. It's so...safe. It's not bad, but it's what a faceless corporation pursing the concept of X-Men would create: a perfectly safe X-Men series that hits all the right notes but never really crosses boundaries. Even the political commentary on deportation feels phoned-in. Also, it really doesn't loving make sense. Where would you deport Mutants to? They're American citizens, they can't be sent anywhere else. If you deport people without a place to put them, you're just de-naturalizing them and that's a loving human rights violation considering what that actually means. Edit: I prefer Blue to Gold because Blue isn't as "safe" as Gold. Generation X is less safe, as well, but I don't really care for Quietin Quire.

I super loved the first issue of Mark Wade Captain America for this very reason. It was a one issue story, get in get out, hit all the key points, and didn't make me feel like I was missing out if I didn't buy more. I don't know why they don't make comments like that anymore. It's a lot easier to read a book like that.

What's even the story here? So he used a pseudonym for a person of a different race? I mean, it's not that uncommon. I mean normally, it's a woman pretending to be a man to avoid prejudice or a non-white individual pretending to be white, I've actually done that one since I pass for white since it helps with the job hunt I found, but it's really not that big a deal. Like I said, I've pretended to be white before to help me get a job. I'm not exactly going to get angry at a guy who used a pseudonym. I guess it's a little hosed up with the power dynamics flipped, though. And it probably did cost of the actual Asian guy job. I guess I can actually see where the issues coming out. Since it is easier for a White Guy to get a job than an Asian guy.

Rhyno posted:With Legacy being a rolling turd they need to do something. Maybe it's time to truly reboot their universe. That's a bad idea. DC did that 6 years ago and it was a rolling turd that kept them depressed for 5 years until they basically put out a comic apologizing for the whole thing. All they really need is to promote their younger Talent more, let the writers write and put less editorial mandates, and stop doing gimmicks like events and relaunches and variant covers and other quick shots into your arm to boost sales in the short-term. If they just went back to basics and focused on quality across the entire line and not just in a few really good series, stop giving big names the run of the place like with Bendis where they can do anything and even the editors can't stop them, and stopped with the bad PR somehow, they'd be fine. It's like losing weight. If you keep looking for some miracle cure, it will never work. If you just regulate your diet, eat a little healthier and eat a little less, and exercise a bit, the basics, you actually lose weight.
