I posted a similar question about Marvel villains a few days ago. It's been a long time, it seems to me, since a really good bad guy has been introduced.

One of the most popular explanations is...

Well, writers aren't allowed to post their scripts.

Art-folks could post away!

This is a very modern way of doing things, especially in a post-Lost world. Thanks for the look into your process.

A significant part of a story's journey, especially early on, has become learning...

Upon seeing you posting here, Redjack, I went and read Mosaic. I've seen you post a few times about the way his powers work--or don't--and I still don't really know "how" his powers work.

Do you...

When I was a young Undergraduate-Comics, I cooked up a villain team with a theme that would fit just perfectly like this that I called Horror Show.

Ended up being too much like Night Shift, which...

I didn't know this was a common mis-reading of that development.

Historically, Jean's been warned about using her mind reading powers in a way that invades the privacy of people unnecessarily. So her sudden use of her power to read a friend's mind actually fits...

I'm going to pretend you didn't just cut and paste all that, but took the time to type it all, because that's how dedicated you are.

You're right again. That would have made Jean terrible.

That's why this didn't happen.

What DID happen, and what caused an uproar among real fans of the X-Men (as opposed to "fans" who only see...

Man, you are so right.

Because of comic book weirdness, I can never be sure if Wolverine's bones are laced with a magic super metal, or maybe all his stories are happening in the mind of an...

You're all wrong.

The 90s weren't kind to superhero books in general, though most of what we think of when we criticize the 90s move to XTREME COMIXS! was over at Marvel.

I wasn't big into DC's superheroes in the...

Don't be too kind, though.

There were still a lot of characters with "Blood," "Wild," and "Fire" in their names, heavily-adorned with pouches, and somehow sporting Wolverine's hair.

And none of...

Ugh. Did that make you feel better?

As a longbeard (early 40s here), I remember the 90s as a time of lenticular covers and pinched noses.

While there was certainly some good work being done, in general, there's a lot of forgettable,...

You have a pretty good point here, though most creator-owned books are not the superhero-y sorts of books Marvel publishes.

So far, we have an executive, an award-winning writer, and three alternate versions of old characters.

Maybe we've identified one of Marvel's problems. . . .

The multiple Harvey and Eisner Award winner?

What, did he go tinkle in your corn flakes?

Would he count as "new?" Just an alternate Reed Richards, and that's nearly as old as you can get in Marvel's history.

Yeah, I should have said second best. My bad.

Hi, everyone.

As I sit here thinking about Marvel comics, I'm at a loss to think of a new villain introduced recently that seems to have any staying power.

Who's the most recent new Marvel...

Those covers are pretty.

I, too, would welcome some different villains, but I love me some goblins.

I've been hoping Slott would look to Mysterio. Or maybe even bring in some new villains.

Really nice art.

I am not a Blindspot fan, myself, so I don't LOVE having to deal with him for three issues, but it's good for what it is.

Probably a good idea to let the Supreme Court victory...

Maybe I vaguely remember that stuff now. . . .

He must mean Fenris, right? But, uh, didn't girl-Fenris get turned into a sword hilt? That was exceptionally well done and creepy. When did it get undone?
