why are such shit d-list characters like foolkiller, solo, prowler, etc. getting ongoings?
>>84450167
Prowler deserves some spotlight.
The others idk. Maybe they need to show that they're using the names so they can keep the trademark?
>>84450167
Because without X-titles and Fantastic Four titles and Avengers sales so low they have no one else to turn to.
>>84450167
Deadpools mercs are separating so it makes sense in a fourth wall way that they get solo series.
>>84450224
yea but still foolkiller just does not seem like that interesting of a character
>>84450209
This. They need more shit for the MCU
Foolkiller was a great character, but just when Steve Gerber was writing him
Also sometimes it's nice to see characters who aren't A and B listers. Usually those are the times when the creative team has less editorial over sight because no one cares
>>84450167
Because most a b and c list hero's at Marvel are un sellable
>>84450167
>>84450239
Steve Gerber's Foolkiller mini is one of the best things Marvel ever published.
>>84450243
I love Gerber's Foolkiller so much, I'm super wary on this
>>84450410
this anon knows where it is
>>84450167
Looking for the next breakout success, since they have to feed the MCU more characters. Also >>84450243
they want to get a lol so random superstar like Deadpool with movie rights they would own.
Gwenpool is also like this.
Fuck why couldn't sleepwalker have been one of the mercs? Then I'd have a sleepwalker series. And he's such a cool unique character he deserves one
>>84450540
You understand that's not what Foolkiller is, right?
>>84450453
>>84450243
Is Gerbers Foolkiller worth a read?
>>84450651
Very much, he's in Man Thing too
>>84450167
>they are going to ruin this GOAT character piece by having him murder republicans and trump supporters
Make it stop
>>84450656
That was original, who was just one-off religious fanatic villain.
>>84450715
Nope, he's going to try to use his psychiatry degree to reform criminals.
>>84450715
He'll be a new guy presumably. Foolkiller IV. Gerber did three different Foolkillers in his various series.
>>84450564
give it time, next Marvel NOW! "season" will probably feature exciting titles such as
>All-New Nomad
>Sleepwalker
>All-New, All-Different Secret Defenders
>Spider-Women
>Doctor Voodoo
>All-New Maverick
>All-New, All-Different Agent X
>>84450736
I thought Salinger shows up late in the run?
>>84450778
No, it's Salinger. He's currently in the Deadpool book.
>>84450778
This is the Greg Salinger Foolkiller. He wasn't created by Steve Gerber.
>>84450167
well, if from the house that think that a retarded Spider Man with a longue tongue and a foaming mouth deserves an ongoing
>>84450167
"Ongoing" is a relative term now. Marvel basically does things in 6 issue chunks and know by like the second issue of an arc whether to keep going or not.
>>84450795
Looking it up, nope. In fact, doesn't look like any of the Foolkillers besides the original had any run-ins with Man-Thing.
>>84450715
It's by Max Bemis, the man who infamously used Crossed as an "SJW" tract, so that... is an actual possibility.
>>84450934
issue links? i don't trust /co/ about crossed outside of crossed threads that actually discuss the comic and aren't loledgy
>>84450934
Wait, Bemis is the one who gave us this? It's like Marvel wants me to not buy their books.
>>84450958
well guess WHAT i'm outside of a crossed thread and I'm telling you to avoid anything that isn't written by Moore, Ennis, or Spurrier
>>84450804
>>84450819
I was under the apparently wrong assumption, that this was Kurt Gerhardt? If this is Salinger, where is Gerhardt?
>>84450958

>>84451072
you've passed the first test of "Isn't spouting memeshit about Crossed"
also I feel like Spurrier would do a great Foolkiller
>>84451084
I think he last showed up in Agent Venom.
Before that he was in Way's Deadpool, which is why a lot of people thought that the Foolkiller that joined the Mercs was him instead of Salinger.
>>84451124
gratzi
>>84451084
I think he was in Ways Deadpool run. The arc in the mental hospital I believe.
>>84451154
>>84451163
Thanks. That is why I thought this was still Gerhardt. Now I know. Thanks, /b/ros. Wish they would continue the saga of Gerhardt. I really loved Gerber's 10 issue mini.
>>84451124
>ANTI-CROSSED
>skinless except for a Cross on his face
this is hilarious
>>84450564
Someday
>>84450239
Anything can be interesting with the right team attached.
>>84450167
Throw enough shit onto a wall and something is bound to stick.
>>84451072
I just put the shit down after five issues and called it a day. Not a thing about it interested me personally.
>>84451343
This is true.
Cept with gambitcos gambits a fag
>>84451124
>>84451065
Sorry y'all, that was pretty good. It does lose a ton of points for not having a proper Crossed ending
>all the 90's rejects getting solos
>no Cardiac solo
>>84450209
But...they CAN use X-Men and F4.
>>84451572
>No Nightwatch ongoing
That's it. I quit!
>>84450167
flood the market to make up for faltering sales
>>84451621
They can but they're dumb so they won't
>>84451572
Cardiac had a semi-big part in Superior so he wasn't totally left behind.
>>84450167
They are going to be cancelled before issue #13
>>84450167
>why are such shit d-list characters like foolkiller, solo, prowler, etc. getting ongoings?
I don't know but I fucking love it. Sure they'll only last 6-12 issues, but a solid 12 issue run is good enough for me when it comes to d-listers.
>>84451920
You're generous.
>>84450167
>Prolwer
>Shit
Don't you have an MCU movie to watch?
>>84450167
Marvel is trying to do their own DCYOU, but this time people will suck their dick because it's Marvel
>>84452455
Tumblr doesn't care about literally whos, tumblr only knows what's popular.
>>84450819
Ah, apparently he was created by Gerber. The issue he debuted in was written by Roger Stern so I thought he created him.
>>84450167
They're going to be in the mcu obviously
>>84450564
What's Sleepwalker deal? It sounds interesting.
>>84454211
I feel like Prowler wouldn't work in the MCU but I have no idea why.
Marvel is trying to make a character like Deadpool to replace Deadpool cause FOX owns Deadpool
>>Solo
>>Foolkiller
>>Slapstick
They all are similar to Deadpool
>>84452455
>I've never read a Spider-Man comic.jpg
>>84454510
>you g genious gets fired from yet another job, gets fed up with everyones shit
>gathers gear together and decides to become a burgler, his first target is the last place that fired him
>comes back home after a successful job but is suddenly filled bad thoughts like "what if I got caught", "what was I thinking", etc
>turns the shit in, gets a reward
>decides that he should just keep doing that: robbing as the Prowler and returning as Hobbie
Maybe not in the movies, but I think he could definitely be a character on AoS or a Netflix show. Don't really know the feel of the Spider-Man movies to tell if he would fit there
>>84450242
This MCU conspiracy shit is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. As if Kevin Fiege takes cues from the comic division.
>>84454469
>The Sleepwalkers were dream police. In that capacity, they apprehended any beings that invaded the sleeping minds of humans. Sleepwalker was tricked by his long time foe known as Cob Web (who like Sleepwalker had a real name that is unpronounceable by human language) into entering the mind of one individual (a New York college student named Rick Sheridan) and became trapped.
http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Sleepwalker_(Earth-616)
In case you are doubting in Bemis writing skills, he also gave us the worst x-men mini which was good.
>>84452455
>implying tumblr even knows any comic book characters beyond what is shown in the movies and brief wikipedia searching
>>84454510
>>84454680
I want to see the MCU concept artists work on Prowler's costume. They could make it so badass.
He can absolutely work in the MCU if done right.
>never heard of Max Bemis
>read those two Crossed issues posted above
>look him up on wikipedia
>He said he considers himself "a Jew who is also a Christian."[29] He again identified as Jewish in an online fan chat during The Bamboozle fest in 2010.
Batroc ongoing when?
>d-listers solo ongoings
>no d-listers TEAM ongoings
Is it me or Marvel doesn't know how to pull a Doom Patrol?
>>84455343
One can only hope that Marvel has a Batroc the Leaper ongoing on their to do list, but we're just as likely to get ongoings for Forge and Wood God before then.
>>84450784
Does that line-up not sound awesome to you?
>>84455459
But Batroc was in the movies. That already makes him more likely than Forge and Woodgod.
>>84455577
Didn't MCU Batroc die?
>>84455412
Champions
>>84455596
No.
>>84455633
>Cyclops, Spider-Man, Ms Marvel, and Hulk
>D-List
>>84455596
No, just backflip/summersault drop-kicked in the face.
>>84455633
They aren't d-listers tho.
D-listers are completely obscure characters that haven't appeared since the early 90.
>>84455596
The last time we saw him he was captured by SHIELD and interrogated.
Because they don't have to rely on 4 Batman titles and 4 Harley Quinn titles to carry their sales
>>84455832
>tfw those 4 Batman titles are better than the 95% of Marvel ongoings and sell more
>>84455781
Pretty sure they were referring to the OG Champions from 70s. I think they were more in the vein of Doom Patrol.
>>84450167
>Ambush Bug is not having a good day
>>84455875
>doesn't say anything about the 4 Harley Quinn titles
>>84456439
Those are just retarded silly books to gain more shekels, just like Civil War II for Marvel.
>>84456439
There's only two and one is a mini series
>>84456513
I like how even two and a mini series is acceptable for a secondary character like Harley
>>84450167
Who's the other dude, Anti-Foolkiller?
>>84450881
Newsarama made a commentary on this: http://www.newsarama.com/30093-does-marvel-really-publish-ongoing-series-anymore.html
>>84450784
I would be OK with most of these as long as they have good creative teams
Fuck I don't know why /co/ is complaining about this. Not like Slapstick, Solo, etc have had much exposure in the past 10 years so them trying something new might actually be a good thing
>>84450167
Throw shit to the wall, see what sticks and can potentially be made a movie
>>84456838
Genius Granter
>>84450167
They're just trying to capitalize on successful properties by doing spin offs like usual. See Avengers getting bazillion satellite titles in the aftermath of New Avengers being a hit.
What's wrong with D-listers getting ongoings?
Why is /co/ so full of insufferable characterfags? The creative team is all that matters, not the character.
>>84455108
I recently read that and, barring the last issue, it's one of my favorite X-related reads in a long time. And Rags and Riches had cool power synergy.
>>84460667
>not giving all books a chance because of a writer's previous work
a blind squirrel sometimes finds an acorn
>>84450715
Good, Republicans and Trump are shit right now.
ITT: Another thread where /co/ has no hope or optimism for anything that isn't DC.
>>84450167
>ongoings
You mean, miniseries.
>>84456838
In the first issue Foolkiller meets some teen asshole that wants to be a "Young Avengers version of well-known supervillain".
And it appears that "well-known supervillain" is Crossbones.
>>84450167
I would much rather have these books than more spiderman. a-lister character have had their time, and most of the new ideas about them are shit.
So, when will Runaways get a new book?
>>84450167
>Marvel sells only big names and team titles
>hurr why don't lesser-known characters ever get a shot?
>Marvel gives lesser-known characters a shot
>hurr why are they wasting time on these d-listers nobody cares about?
>>84464390
You should know by now, Marvel can't win. /co/'s hateboner is too strong.
>>84450167
>Solo
>D-list
Maybe is considered Doctor Strange tier guys as A-list I suppose.
I'd extend that to Foolkiller as well if it weren't for the Gerber legacy connection.
Honestly my issue isn't that they're ridiculously obscure character,s but shitty bland DUDE VIGILANTISM LMAO ridiculously obscure characters.
Look no further than the other M4M. Slapstick's indeed worth unboxing. Terror would have been too, more than any of these three goobers. Even Stingray could've done sweet sea stuff.
If Duggan wanted to go 90s-diving he should've brought back Sleepwalker and Blackwulf instead. Those would be more likely to produce distinct, interesting ongoings.
>>84460667
Don't mean to console warz but it's always Marvelfags for some reason. Same with legacy characters.
DCfags love getting books for literally who's. I know becauseI am one
>>84450167
>All of these lesser known heroes finally getting their own solos
>It's in current shit Marvel
The Monkey's Paws never end.
>>84455412
>no d-listers TEAM ongoings
Did you miss the part where the Great Lakes Avengers are getting an ongoing?
>The big 2 just churn out the same shit over and over!
>Why did they give this D-Lister an ongoing? Who wants to read this shit?
>>84450934
He also wrote Worst X-Man ever, which was the best X-Book we've had since Aaron's WATXM.
