I haven't read this yet. Is there any compelling reason for the new wielder or is it just the usual writer wanting to do something "new" that is actually just lazy as anything and needless?

Considering that you're talking about people for whom "progressive" actually is an insult, this shouldn't surprise too much. Reactionary, small-minded, insecure bigots.
Does Marvel still have any part-involvement with this?

The UK Transformers comics used to have fun with the corner boxes. They had a run where it changed slightly each week to show Optimus Prime transforming, and then a few one-off special ones like the...
Since I mentioned Robocop, and we're talking properties that Marvel doesn't own here's a glimpse of Robocop #3, along with Marvel UK's The Real Ghostbusters #42, and Epic's Sleeze Brothers #5.

Here in the UK in 1991-1992 Marvel also printed some of their Epic tiles in a monthly anthology magazine-sized comic called Meltdown. This sadly only lasted 6 issues, and I was dismayed by it...
I loved the Epic line. It's true that there were misses as well as hits, but it felt exciting to me and there were some great things in there.
It was the collected Epic Akira books that...
I like the Blade Runner one too. I have this in the Super Special version and also in the UK Annual.

I also have these Roger Rabbit ones from the 80s MGN series. The first is an adaptation of the movie, the second is a sequel.

I have a few of these; the Gremlins, James Bond, Transformers ones. I quite like them to be honest. They're a mixed bag, but I'm fond of them. I didn't know there was a Time Bandits one - I really...
Good points. I'd like a spy agency again.
If Marvel feels the need to involve superheroes, maybe have SHIELD in charge of Initiative teams. Bring that back. And Secret Warriors while they're at...
Agree on this. Never really got it.
I think I'm the only person that doesn't actually love Davis' art! I can see it's good and all, but the faces all have the same eyes, and are often standing...
I just don't think Tini Howard is a good writer. This may be harsh butt she comes across as someone who has an idea of the story she wants to do and doesn't much care if it suits the character's she...
3) The one I'm saddest about.
The 1991 Death's Head new 4-issue series, written by Simon Furman and drawn by Geoff Senior. #1 was written/drawn and solicited in Advance Comics.
Death's Head...
2) The 1992 (?) Doctor Who/Doctor Strange Crossover. Andrew Cartmel would have written, with Lee Sullivan on art.

The Circuit Breaker stuff got me thinking about other Marvel UK stuff that almost got made but didn't.
1) The 1994 Death's Head II / Punisher mini series. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning were writers...
I agree with a lot of these, but some in particular jumped out, maybe because they came up less often but rung true.
Yep, agree with this heavily. Similar story to Constrictor. He was becoming...
It's still under wraps, unfortunately.

I know what I'd enjoy though.......
Why are these threads always Marvel vs DC?
I buy a lot of books, comics, music, etc. I don't see folk regularly comparing two smaller comics publishers. Or different book publishing houses, or how...
What was the name of the cosmic character, I think last seen during that whole church of universal truth / cancerverse period, who had razor-sharp skin or similar?
Agree with you on that, so many great stories.
That said, I had a soft spot for the 90s iteration too - particularly seeing as just mentioning UK reprints from my youth. I was sad that the Marvel...
You're on!
I've always loved a cyborg in Marvel comics. Every iteration of Deathlok, and, since we're talking obscure characters, I still remember being freaked out by Robert Saunders in the ASM...
Maybe Justice Peace could get into a Battleworld fight with BOSS CAGE?

There's been tons of great Marvel cosmic stuff in the 70s, 80s, and even into 90s. Thereafter I didn't read cosmic stuff for many years as I found it had gotten schlocky and poorly written.
Then...
I personally would never have guessed that this thread would go the way it did.
