    I think we need to define what constitutes harassment. Writing nasty email messages or going to a creator's social media account to be nasty to them is harassment and the creator should have the right to be nasty back. Creators should be willing to accept criticism on their social media accounts if they have such accounts, but only if said criticism doesn't cross the line. But writing something on a forum like CBR, even something nasty, shouldn't be considered harassment. Maybe if it's someone like Kurt Busiek who frequents these boards, but the majority will never see anything written about them here. I would tell a Spider-Man fan that attacking Joe Quesada on his social media pages or in person is wrong, but I'd never dream of telling a fan not to complain about Quesada for One More Day.

    I didn't mean "you" as in you specifically. I guess I should have used "people" instead of "you." Sorry my intent wasn't more clear.

    What's funny is literally almost everything in 2009 from marvel was proud of how dark it was. Dark avengers, Dark X-men, dang 2007-2012 in particular was bleak.

    Was that the period where everyone was posing against a red sky?

    Strongly disagree. In the time and in retrospect, I think the 2010s was a strong time for Marvel with plenty of great books and a willingness to go in new directions and branch out. The overabundance of events was exhausting but I think it did enough good things to cancel that out.
