I would pay literally an infinite amount of money if, in the final issue of Civil War II, Carol walks into a room, and Bruce Banner and James Rhodes are just sitting there, drinking some coffee. Carol is like "Okay, I'm SURE you two died."
And Rhodey shrugs. "Yeah, but we got better," and there is literally no further comment nor explanation on anyone's part.
It's how the event started, it's how it ought to end. It's what we call "Thematic consistency."

Doc Samson has always been a Fabio turbofaggot right?
Why is Carol Danvers pushed so fucking hard lately? She's more popular than Spiderman now
>>84487793
>Doc Samson has always been a Fabio turbofaggot right?
Back in the 1980s he was classified in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe as a turbofaggot, but later received an upgrade from The Leader which elevated him to Hyperassrammer, and despite various retcons and disregard for his continuity since then, I believe that this classification still stands today.
>>84487793
>Why is Carol Danvers pushed so fucking hard lately?
Because she is the token female that Marvel has to stick up the front with Cap, Stark etc
They used her instead of someone like She-Hulk or anything because there is a rabid fanbase called the Carol Corps which gives her an automatic fan foundation no matter what

Everyone's talking about how DC has BTFO'd Marvel, but I'm only seeing apathy about the vast majority of Rebirth titles. What's DC even putting out that's genuinely good or great?
Or is it just because Marvel is "muh diversity" and DC is "muh nostalgia"? Is Wally West showing up with none of his supporting cast really enough to make you guys go crawling back to DC?
>>84487261
Don't know where the hell you're getting the hate from mate, everywhere I go people are really supportive of Rebirth, other than the salty fucks who have a boner for EW52 Supes
>>84487298
Yes, people seem to "support" Rebirth, but I have yet to see anyone be actually enthusiastic about most of the actual titles themselves. The Bat-books, for example, seem to be getting "well, they're ALRIGHT, I guess".

Green Arrow is one of the best comics being published.
I thought you guys might want to see this.
>Recently, I was asked the simple question of “How would I fix Marvel?”. Rather than gloss over the question with a trademark dig like “fire Alonso”, I decided to do the reply justice and come up with a plan…. a long plan, that is. Seriously…this is really long, maybe the longest I have ever done here.
>Frankly, it’s a complicated issue, and I don’t want to gloss over it without substance.
>Today’s annnouncement of a god awful sounding “Champions” book only fueled my fire.
>A few caveats:
>#1 Believe it or not, I admit that I don’t know it all. I don’t have the “actual” sales figures, I don’t know a lot about how Marvel works or the actual particulars of its internal business …but these are my ideas laid to words none the less. I’m not an expert on the industry or Diamond and distribution…I’m just a fan with ideas. So…with that in mind, take this for what its worth.
>#2 We have no direct evidence Marvel is actually failing. In fact, far from it. The company’s comics have a large market share, the movies and Disney are a huge cash pot behind them allowing failure in the books to be “no big deal”. Truthfully, if the paper comics mine one potential movie property every 10 years that makes say “One billion dollars” … then they have made more than all the Marvel comic line makes in years. You could argue its some crazy halcyon days for Marvel. Yet we are far from max sales in the paper books. Why?
>#3 There are a couple problems with the sales of all paper comics that are industry related and not exactly just Marvel’s fault. I think the notion of direct only market is now a bad idea. Too many shops have closed and there is a snowball effect to a reduced availability to comics. These shops have a very flawed way of selling books and working within a skewed supply and demand model. The internet and digital age have not seemed to help. I wrote about the issues with comic sales here:
>https://richridernova.wordpress.com/2016/01/14/cbr-article-on-commic-industry-2015/
>Of course there are other things, macro issues, like folks reading less etc…that are all very real.
>Honestly though, when you extract Star Wars from the mix and factor in DC’s own shortcomings with the New 52 debacle, the market for superhero books is much closer…in fact with DC’s Rebirth picking up huge steam in sales and reorders, it appears the market share may be shifting more toward equal.
>That’s crazy …especially seeing as how the films Deadpool and Captain America: Civil War just banked nearly a billion dollars and DC’s bloated snoozefest Batman Versus Superman just put…well…. everyone to sleep. Marvel superhero comics should be selling at record paces…but they’re not of course. In fact, according to Diamond, unit sales are down or the same from even the period 10 years back. The Alonso era gains from the mini-crash of 2010 have worn off. (again most of this was Star Wars inspired) Now, actual gains could be called stagnant.
>#4 I love Marvel. Despite the angst and disagreement…I’m a huge fan. I want to buy this stuff again someday. I hope I will.
>So what can be done to fix Marvel?
>-The first matter is what I’ve talked about the most. Unify the sub-regions. (and mostly I’ve spoke of cosmic in this blog)
>-I’d stick with the old tried and true division of Marvel properties. (IE Cosmic, X men, Avengers, Spiderman/ Marvel Heroes) I’d just make them play together better. This system used to work. The fact smaller compartments of these properties ballooned into 10-15 titles is getting a bit ridiculous.
>-Get a central editor for cosmic and stuff like the X line and make it all tie in together. Preferably this editor is the kind of guy / gal who respects continuity, recognizes it as an asset… yet is not a slave to it. New ideas and experiments are OK but we also respect the past and use it to our advantage. This editor needs to be a guy who can tell big egos that they need to fix something or change this and that. Again also a guy who listens to fans, respects them…but, so too, is not a slave to them.
>These are the two active problems with how editors/writers are messing with continuity at Marvel:
>Books not matching up or disregarding past continuity. If the past is unimportant or brushed off it makes the repeated action of following, buying and reading serial fiction less required.
>Books not matching up to stuff that is going on concurrently within the Marvel universe. The “Rock Stars” are huge offenders here. Again, it makes following the whole line less required.
>Continuity is not some nerdy concept. Guys like Bendis would love for you to think that. Continuity is the quality control of the company’s history. It’s the summation of all the hard work of Marvel’s past. It should be a badge of honor.
>-Central editorship is a big one. Currently, I don’t think they are doing a good job. I’ve never seen a more disjointed and chaotic Marvel Universe than under Axel Alonso. Undertaking something like Secret Wars was foolish under such conditions. Look at how Age of Ultron or Original Sin turned out. Disjointed. Sloppy. Unimportant…always a rush to “what’s next”.
>-Support your bread and butter. X-men. Fantastic Four. Make X big again. Giant sized X men #1 saved Marvel. Make Fantastic Four a corner stone of your franchise that you support through thick and thin. Embrace your history. So what if sales dwindle lower than you like. Get folks to come up with solid story concepts like you’ve always done. FIX STUFF…don’t trash it.
>-Limit the amount of spin offs from properties to a reasonable level. “Avengers Everything” and “Spider Everything” at some point becomes a problem. This isn’t working anymore. Three or four spin offs are good enough.
>-Keep down extravagant retcons or character assassinations. They devalue the importance of stories, characters and followings and harm them more in the long run. You can’t make the history of your line floppy and unimportant. Stuff needs to matter.
>–Stop replacing core heroes as a stunt. Stop making these replacements noticeably agenda driven to force feed diversity or an international flare. Honestly, you can do this now and then. Diversity is great. Make it organic and reasonable…just not the onslaught “in your face” overflow we get today. Marvel has been a leader in this field for years. They never should have got so hyper–reactive. If Marvel wants to expand interest to other countries, they should create small lines marketed in these areas ala the old UK line.
>-On the current politics of Marvel: tone down the left leaning agenda. As mentioned, this includes the zealot-like drive for diversity and urge to replace core heroes for that sake. It’s gotten out of hand, and it turns me (and others) off. I really think this affirmative action comic engineering just goes to preserve a sort of “culture of enmity” and reminder of difference rather than help to uplift the culture of equality we all want. I don’t like to feel shitty about myself, and I sure as hell am not going to pay someone to make me feel shitty.

So lets get this right - Marvel has:
>Killed The Hulk
>Given the Hammer to Jane Foster
>Made Captain America a member of Hydra
>Turned Iron Man into a fifteen year old black girl
>Are planning on killing the X-Men
All at the same time. Does Marvel just not like their silver-age characters or something? Like any one of those things could be totally fine, but all the same fucking time?
You know what made Marvel a great comic book company? The creations of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. So why are they shitting all over the creations of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee?
