Actually, my point was just that I don't care about the classic characters, and the stuff that's exciting me is the stuff that's been going on for the past 3 or 4 years. The slow increase in...
As someone who's said on numerous occasions that nostalgia is legitimately dangerous, I will note that Kelly Thompson has made me care about Rogue and Gambit for the first time in my life.
Question: Why would Hulkling actually even have any particular reason to care about Mar-Vell's Legacy? Yes, Mar-Vell's his father, but it's not like he ever knew the guy. He never knew either of his...
Well, yeah, I'm not saying they should steamroll alien menaces. Of course they should be tough fights. But in superhero comics, these organizations are always shown failing, to the point where...
WAIT! Wait a minute! Idea!
A big problem with organizations like Alpha Flight and SWORD before it is that we seldom get to see them actually fend off an alien attack. So, my idea for a nemesis: An...
I wouldn't say it's analogous. Psylocke's always been pretty OK with having an Asian body. Some identity crisis stuff early on, but mostly, she's fine with how she looks, and has never made any great...
Abso-goddamn-lutely. I think it's time to add a trans mutant to the X-Men. And not a shape-shifter or a body-swap victim or any crap like that, either. A character who was assigned one gender at...

Probably the most famous Vision moment ever. His entire history has been an exploration of his emotions.
Synthezoids have emotions. They have since the start.
I mean, you're not wrong, per se. But Moonstone could definitely be a threat. Moonstone's main motivation is self-benefit. She does what it takes to get ahead. And when written well, she's...
I kinda like Mercury with Bling!. They're both shiny! And they seemed to be pretty happy together in Generation X.
Laura and Illyana? Hmmmm.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Certainly be interesting for Laura to be the more emotionally-healthy partner in a relationship. But I don't know. I'm reluctant to support that ship...
I didn't say to get rid of the characters. I said I don't care about them, and that I prefer newer characters. The things that are working for me are the things that have been happening for the past...
Clearly, synthezoids have emotions. Which is not a new development.
You know, if you don't like Marvel, it's entirely fine to just not read it. Wishing for it to shut down is just idiotically petty.
Very little has actually changed for me. I like that more women and POC are getting to write bigger titles. Coates on Captain America is a big deal, they've got women and POC doing all sorts of...
I'm slightly bitter about Karma not being on that teaser. But hey, definitely looks like Bunn's declaration of Eye-Boy being dead is being totally ignored.
Anyway, The Week In Gay. It's another...
Wilson's writing Wonder Woman, so even though she's said she's going to keep working on Ms. Marvel for a long time to come, it's got people speculating more than usual about what'll happen when she...
Clearly, they need to set up Lady Stilt-Man as her archnemesis.
And it's hard not to love, honestly. It is so incredibly crazy that it becomes amazing.
It kinda cycles, a bit. Paranoid fantasies notwithstanding, Marvel never really pushed aside the X-Men, though they have spent the past decade or so pushing the Avengers a bit more. (The X-Men still...
Actually, he left because Stan Lee didn't want Roy Thomas adding new team members to the X-Men. Thomas was going to have the X-Men traveling around and recruiting new mutants, but Lee said no, so...
I'm inclined to doubt it, actually. Ms. Marvel is an optimistic character, and an optimistic book, and that's part of the appeal. I think Marvel will want to keep that positive tone even after Wilson...
Because they're still Silver Age comics, and the X-Men franchise is huge. Comics that old aren't for reading, they're for preserving, because there are relatively few of them left.

Read it and reviewed it on my blog!
Silver Age X-Men isn't great. There are a handful of good issues here and there, but mostly, it's bland and forgettable, and sometimes downright bad....
I oppose absolute monarchies. No one person should have absolute say. So I prefer when monarchies move towards democratic reforms. I'm fine with monarchs in a ceremonial role. I'll even accept them...
