    Out of all the new Marvel books, I'm probably just going to stick with Ms. and Captain Marvel and She-Hulk

    Daniel Way's Ghost Rider forever soured me on buying Ghost Rider monthly (and I dropped Iron Fist to read it!) and I might drop Daredevil since relaunching a 3 dollar book into a 4 dollar book strikes me as a fairly naked attempt to goose sales figures

    Do not have a cow, mortal.

    Wait, so did you miss Jason Aaron on Ghost Rider after Daniel Way left?

    Nah, I picked the omnibus up after numerous recommendations

    That's why I specified I was soured on buying it monthly

    That...doesn't make sense?

    One of the most mediocre writers in comics wrote Ghost Rider so you won't pick up entirely different creative teams books in singles?

    Its like saying because Chuck Austen wrote Uncanny X-Men years ago you won't pick up any monthly X-Books.

    Has Marvel issued a statement about what they are going to do about digital comics if e company goes out of business/shut down the store? I like the Steam/Valve model that they've got going with the digital comic store but it feels like I'm leasing the books instead of owning them if Marvel doesn't have to do anything if they shut down the store.

    Valve doesn't have to do anything, either. They've just said they would.

    The possibility of Marvel going out of business, especially now when they arethe most prominent and successful they have ever been, is so non-existent I bet they haven't given it much thought.

    I mean Disney would have to shutter them and Marvel is basically a license for them to print money.

    I'll probably check out the first trade of Ms Marvel. I'm curious to see how it is, but I've never followed any of the Capt/Mr/Ms Marvels before, so if it's too steeped in the mythology it may not grab me.

    Of course, I kind of doubt it will be, aside from the main character being a bit of a fangirl, which would be fine to me.

    so
    last month there was a huge leak of hasbro's transformers and gi joe online cataloging online stuff
    among the other incredible leaks for the transformers generations line, which spoils stuff for dark cybertron and its aftermath pretty heavily via character appearances and other stuff, there was something hidden within listings that no one knew about, or at least cared about

    Preventing Marvel/Disney from getting it for free and turning it into their next billion dollar blockbuster?

    Nah, I am pretty sure that was a fan theory.

    Cause:
    Wraith is the son of Kree scientist Sim-Del, who created a power source sufficient to "light an entire galaxy." Kree society banished him, but he continued his work, using the power source to turn the barren planetoid he inhabited into a paradise. The Kree then simply destroyed him and all trace of his work. However, his son was sent off in an escape ship.

    Keyword is "normally."

    Persona 4 has great uses of yellow, too.

    I'm fine with this because I like Charles Soule a bunch

    but that dude is A) working like a maniac and B) doing the most prolific example of working for both DC and Marvel at the same time I have ever seen

    At DC he's writing Superman/Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing and Red Lanterns.

    At Marvel he's writing Thunderbolts, She-Hulk and now Inhuman.

    And he's got a creator-owned thing at Oni Press called Letter 44.

    and he is a fucking lawyer

    I really wonder why Fraction is off though. Focusing on his creator-owned stuff maybe?

    Could be!

    I honestly think it just wasn't working for him story-wise.

    We got like 2 panel Q and As and one interview about the book between July and now, and never saw a single preview page. That seems like more of a problem with the book's story than Fraction deciding he'd rather focus on creator stuff.

    that'd be the only way to do it, it'd kill Aja to try to ship Hawkguyany faster. Hawkeye with Annie Wu, Hawkguy with Aja, Fraction writing both, go
