I just took part in a lovely conversation in Champions Online where several people informed me Marvel was "circling the drain" and that the only way for them to be redeemed is if they fired everyone currently in charge because they were "pushing their cultural marxist agenda instead of telling stories" and people were tired of their "SJW horseshit".

One of my pet ideas for writing a Batman comic would be a Gotham-born superhero who doesn't think Batman's system works because it's too rigid on crime, and Batman having to deal with someone who isn't interested in his lectures and sees him as just as inefficient as he sees the GCPD.

Please don't steal my bad Batman idea.

Wikipedia posted:

G.I. Joe was Marvel's top-selling subscription title in 1985, and was receiving 1200 fan letters per week by 1987. The series has been credited with bringing in a new generation of comic book readers, since many children were introduced to the comic book medium through G.I. Joe, and later went on to read other comics.[3] The comic book has been re-printed several times, and also translated in multiple languages. In addition to direct spin-offs of the comic book, several revivals and reboots have been published throughout the 2000s.

They are approximately 500 times better than they have any right to be. Larry Hama on the GI Joe comics was like the 80s version of Tom Taylor on Injustice: He took a comic that only existed to tie into a product and put genuine love into it and wrote some memorable, badass, gripping, and even terrifying stories. The concept of GI Joe has never and will never be explored better.

Any guesses as to what publisher this is?

Well, there are endless stories of poo poo like this coming out of a major publisher after they were bought out by Disney and started treating their employees like complete garbage. Maybe you can work out which one I mean...

What the hell is the carbonadium synthesizer? It's mentioned like 4 times on Maverick's wiki page as something Omega Red has been looking for since the 60s. Is it just a macguffin?

It would keep him from having a *sigh* Death Factor. Or at least control it, depends who you ask.
