X-Men Gold Annual: Preview pages

[Meta jon]

So last week I was finally able to make it to the post office and sent my copy of the Xmen Gold Annual back to Mark Paniccia - this is the letter I included in the envelope

To Mr. Mark Paniccia
Senior Editor X-men Marvel comics
I have collected X-men for a very long time, my first issue #171 way back in
high school, I fell in love with the X-men and I have stayed a long time fan
through a lot of ups and downs.
As of X-men Gold Annual #1 I can truly say that this stands among the one of
the weakest and poorly written stories in my long standing run, from the poor
attempt at jokes to the absolutely wooden dialogue and terrible characterization, I
am astonished that I purchased it. If I could return it to my local comics shop (who
I have faithfully given my business to for more than 20 years) and get my money
back I would, but seeing as this isn’t that kind of business I cannot do that.
I have included it in this envelope back to you because I don’t care for this to
be in my collection at all, I’d rather demonstrate to you and Marvel that I just
wasted $5 on a book that is just so poorly executed and put together it just didn’t
come across that you and your team cared enough about the people who
purchase this book to put out something worthwhile and not just do this “cause
it’s X-men, it will sell” - and I’m not just talking about the main story, the back up
story was far from good too.
As of this book I have removed X-men entirely from my pull list at my LCS
and have no marvel books left on my pull list, after a very long time you finally
drove me away, I’d say congratulations but I don’t think this was your intention at
all.
I know this letter will make very little difference to you and your company, I’m
not stupid nor do I have grand ideas that this will change everything, I’m just sad
that it’s come to this. If you guys don’t seem to care about the fans and what your
publishing why should I as a singular fan care about it either.

I've given it some thought and I think I'm going to mail my copy back to the head editor in the X-Men office with a note telling him what a poor issue I wasted my money on.

Ill also mention to him that because of the obvious lack of care put into this issue and the men issues of late I will be dropping the x books off my pull list.
If they don't care why should I?
Congrats x-office job accomplished

Killer post!

Even more killer gif!
