    As for 'Solarus', the less said of them the better. That mini was just !@#$ing awful. I don't say that as someone who just 'didn't get what they want', but rather, it was just badly done every step of the way. The only bright spot is 'Solarus' choosing her own identity and path, but that really should have included making her own damn costume. Zero reason for her to use Sentry's from an in-world perspective. Just zero.
    I agreed and thought the story was just odd overall. Why make such an obvious move to erase him to make a new handicap hero? Just write a new book about a handicapped person that acquires powers. Sentry is a great character as is just get someone with the skills and guts to write him. Disagree with on Blue Marvel but for the same reason he's suffering from poor writers. Al Ewing made Brashear kind of cool in Mighty Avengers.

    Making the villain in a Sentry book just kind of a generic 'crazy guy' while several lines in the mini read as condescending towards the mentally ill over a character who's entire thematic structure and narrative is about the silent suffering of the invisibly disabled by mental illness and our failure to communicate ABOUT mental health effectively is just ... not ... good.

    She could have kept the S at least for the name she chose, but maybe she's willing to learn from the guy who used her current powers for much longer, assuming she keeps getting access to his memories. Beyond the fighty flashbacks she brought up the Void (she's not supposed to be into superheroes) and Ryan brought up Man of Two Worlds.

    I don't know, i haven't seen either version of candyman to judge it.

    Based on your post, I thought Kang's expierence on the Walking dead was a bad omen for Silk. Is it?

I expect Marvel to at least try to keep her around.

Right now he's a Thanos book on a team that's "Illuminati-lite" just got through leading a Defenders team.
    Ok.

    Oh, my bad. What I mean is than Marvel has have bad luck related to the name "Kang", lately.
    But even if the work of Kang in the Walking dead was extraordinary... the problem here is Sony. Their management of the Spider-Man related propierties has been... less than stellar, kindly speaking .

    Yeah they are considered "so bad it's good" territory.

    So my hopes are pretty low.
