"Why, Wolverine? Why didn't they buy sum of dat Future Foundation? Why'd you mutants haveta take all of da bread?"

Not the final logo, I assume, since that's using the classic one instead of the current one like the previous one-shots.

I thought this was going to be set in the Marvel Noir universe for a second.

I don't. I'm fine with just the FF book. Of course I believe Marvel should only publish about 25 to 30 superhero titles....

Why aren't you working for Marvel? WTF is wrong with them?

Having options is not bad. I'd rather Marvel give readers a variety of books that they can read.

25 to 30 is a nice healthy selection that makes it easier for Marvel to still practice quality control.

I think all that will do is lose readers and it doesn't ensure quality.

[QUOTE=Crimz;4677053]I wish Sue and Johnny were written more like actual siblings. That they'd get into fights and arguments over something petty, have mean nicknames for each other, insult each other at times, joke around and stuff.
It's really sad that him and Ben feel more like siblings than him and Sue. The only times they have worthwhile interactions is whenever repeating Johnny's plot of having to grow up. She usually moans at him about it and the says she's proud or something when he grows up a little. Rinse and Repeat.
Their interactions could be so much more fun. I can't remember a time Johnny, the prankster, pranked Sue. That's his sister and she should be target number one for some of his pranks. I think it's one of the unfortunate side-effects of her being the "girl" of the team.[/QUOTE]
Well, there's that one time in ASM#657 where this happened in a flashback:

It looks like Johnny likes to annoy people to get a reaction, Sue is probably used to most of it at this point.
Still, she could always be the "straight man" of their interactions, or even sound serious while joking, because I don't think they should keep annoying each other, that's Ben's and Johnny's interactions, it's better to make her and Johnny stand out in a different way.

If Johnny pranks everyone, he looks like a jerk. If he and Ben go after each other and the level of success stays somewhat even, we can accept that as part of their friendship. Once Johnny starts going after Sue or Reed, the pranking gains a whole different flavor.

I didn't even say it should be pranks, just some bickering or joking around.
But a lot could be done, it's not because Johnny likes pranks that he should do it to anyone, him and Sue joking around could be done, sure, but people don't always act the same way around everyone, and Johnny certainly doesn't annoy everyone.
Whatever is done though, it has to be something that would be both in their characters, so if they start to joke around, can't go for something like MCU quipping for Sue, it'd be pushing it for her, and it'd sound somewhat weird for Johnny lol.
