"HEX Be a Lady!" Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff Appreciation 2021

[Writerblog]

I remember it was revealed that back in the Silver Age, writers were allowed to reuse the same stories every five years as it was believed that was the lifetime of a comic reader, so maybe Marvel now believe that.

For sure now 5 years isn't the lifetime of a comic reader. Silver age sold in millions, not the case now

They probably do because they tend to stick to things that they always did. But I think now their reader base is pretty much the same. Give or take a few scragglers. So it's easy for people to be jaded over stories repeating. And they also tuned this up way too much with repeated events and deaths. That was much more often than 5 years.

it's a aging fan-base, becaically static.

I thinkk Marvel go for buzz words and "things will never be the same"
