True, but I bet it's something in the deal with CBS that gives them veto over any crossovers with shows on other networks. They might not exercise the veto (for the reasons you stated, as well as the...

Yeah, but I don't think they're going to want a Captain Mar-Vell going around when they're working on a movie about a Captain Marvel who may or may not be related to him. And, yeah, Carol's origin is...

Yeah, I don't buy this. I seriously doubt Marvel would let Gunn run wild with it while they were still trying to figure out how to make the Captain Marvel movie work.

My personal theory is that...

Plus, for a line-wide relaunch, most books look an awful lot like they did before Secret Wars. A huge number of creative teams are staying place as-is, and in other cases the writer is staying...

It's far enough out they haven't figured out who's doing the art for it yet. So, pretty far out—March at the earliest, I would guess. So, that gives everyone time to get through a 5-6 issue arc first.

Yeah, without work having even started on a script (something Marvel said they need to have in hand before they hire a director or star) makes it pretty clear that the original release date probably...

Yeah. It's just frustrating when it becomes clear that they care more about the release slot than about the project attached to it. *sigh*

I know I'm being defensive about Captain Marvel here,...

I'd put it slightly differently: Carol has an addictive personality and doesn't know when to stop. She takes unnecessary risks. She drinks a lot. She tries to save everyone. Basically, she thinks she...

A-Force #5 - Might be my last issue of this, unless it wows me. I've been underwhelmed by the Secret Wars mini and too much other stuff competing for my $
Ms Marvel #19
New Avengers #1
Spider-Gwen...

I'm probably in the minority that would have preferred it to be called "Gwen-Stacy: Spider-Woman" or some variation there-on. Ooh, we could combine and get "Gwen Stacy: The Radioactive Spider-Woman"....

Yeah, at least it's not February. *hides from angry Black Panther fans*

YES. And the delays keep moving it into worse time slots. The initial date was in July—it was a huge sign that Marvel had faith in the property, enough that it could fight off whatever other big...

Nah, one surely got away and is currently floating through space until it meets up with the Phalanx to conquer the universe in the inevitable Guardians of the Galaxy: Annihilation.

Kurt Busiek.

I'm so in. One of my top wants from post-Secret Wars Marvel was an All-New Guardians book by Abnett.

Like a lot of other people, though, I'm definitely going to have to rework my pull list. So...

Peter David's first X-Factor run started right around when I was getting into comics, and I absolutely adored it. It was so funny and had such a great cast of characters that elsewhere just would...

Hmm, fair point. And Doctor Who actually has a pretty decent budget, from what I understand, and it's ratings are probably significantly higher than what FF could hope for (I think in the 6-8million...

On the TV front—maybe I'm wrong, but for some reason I was thinking Marvel retained TV rights for the Fantastic Four. So, they could in theory just go ahead an do their own TV show, Fox be damned. ...

It's kinda weird, though—the overall consensus is that it's bad, hence the low percent, but most of the reviews are actually more mixed, like "there's the hint of a good movie in here, but they...

I'm wondering if Fables also appeared on the floppies chart, since it was a weird combo issue #150 and trade vol 22. I'm not surprised it's in he top slot, since it would be caught by people's pull...

Image has also been extremely good about making it easy to jump on. Not just the trades that come out before or at the same time as the first issue of the next arc (vital if you want to get people...

I get what you're saying, but I was actually one of those people buying that first volume of Captain Marvel digital only, so my purchases weren't being represented in the sales numbers. I switched to...

It helps if they're also timely with the trades. Marvel seems to either print trades immediately or make you wait nine months for them, without any real logic to it. I much prefer the Image (trade...

Thanks, that definitely explains a lot of it. I still get the impression that Brevoort sort of thinks Diamond literally makes up some of the numbers, though. I'd ask him through his Formspring to...

An unrelated question, that I thought I might get an answer for here. I've now seen Marvel's Tom Brevoort state several times that the Diamond sales numbers are practically worthless and have little...
