There are so many Funko Pops that are either from an R rated property and drenched or splattered in blood, there's no way that's a factor
So many goddamned Funko Pops....
But the figure isn't based on the Logan version of Laura. It's based on the comic book version, which is very different.
Who is named Wolverine when wearing that costume, not X-23
And my point is that the popularity of Logan will not cause more people to know that Laura is Wolverine. Only people who are reading her comics now will know that she's Wolverine. People who saw Logan will only know her as Laura. We have no idea if she's going to become Wolverine in the movies. For all we know, they might use her original superhero name "Talon."
I genuinely think that Iron Fist should be a top tier superhero
He's well above street level power and has been for years, he's incredibly trained, his role as an Immortal Weapon makes him a legit mystical defender of Earth etc
Justin Jordan is writing Moon Knight, intended to be a standalone mature readers standout ala Vision or Omega Men
Yay! Really like Justin Jordan, even if I found Team 7 terribly disappointing (mostly because he was talking about that series before on another forum and said all the right things in that. Then again DC editorial during early New52 was insane, so I can blame them.
Al Ewing is on Spirits of Vengeance, intended to be an "Annihilation" esque moment for Marvel's horror/magic corner.
Intrigued. Will have to see more to decide whether to get it, but a Magic/horror Annihilation has been in the talks for years. Hope it'll work out better than Mystic Arcana (which I actually quite enjoyed, but were some single bits stappled together).
G. Willow Wilson is taking over Captain Marvel
Cool, sticking with Captain Marvel for now.
They are bringing back the Ultimate branding for their teen heroes. Miles' book becomes Ultimate Spider-Man, X-Men Blue Ultimate X-Men, Riri Williams Ultimate Iron Man, Champions to Ultimates, etc. Amy Reeder will be taking over Ultimates.
I like Amy Reeder a lot and she definitely is better suited to a teenager title than Mark Waid. Will miss Ewing's Ultimates though.
Runaways is a stealth limited series.
Meh... honestly you'd need a lot to get me back into Runaways after the original series ended. Liked the series a lot, but it worked for me as a wrapped-up series.
Slott is off ASM but will still be writing Peter in a side book, Spencer on ASM.
Wasn't reading Spider-Man before, won't be reading it now.
X-Men Gold to become Uncanny X-Men, OML and Laura to combine books as Wolverine.
Not caring about the first, kinda apprehensive about the second, but I understood Tom Taylor is still on it? I've faith in Taylor.
Squirrel Girl wrapping up and transitioning to a New Warriors launch with Ryan North staying on.
Don't know if "New Warriors" is a title name that fits with the target audience for Squirrel Girl.
Royals and Secret Warriors will combine into a single Inhumans title by Rosenberg.
Still meh on everything Inhumans.
So overall, cautiously optimistic?
edit: me no tag good.

He's complainimg about something everyone else at his job had to deal with. He didn't.
Yeah he probably did
Dude was writing books starring major characters like Thor and Wolverine who were in like 5 other books at any given time and wrote a huge crossover event involving pretty much all the characters
Also you're throwing out definitive statements about what his work requirements were while at Marvel and unless you were an editor you don't know that at all

He had a few crossover issues to deal with, but by and large his content was self contained.
Now if he had to always fight tooth and nail to keep his work self contained, that's different but he didn't say that.

Having characters that star in their own books as well as are on other team books is, by nature, interconnected storytelling.

He clearly had to deal with it because he is complaining about it. Why would he be lying about this?
Why is everyone assuming he would lie about this?
Why is everybody leaping to defend marvel about a situation we have no real experience in?

Like, just because an issue doesn't say AGE OF ULTRON on the cover or whatever doesn't mean he didn't have to deal with the fact that Wolverine was in like 3 other books at the time, same with Cap, and Thor and Rogue were in 2. And that's just Uncanny Avengers.
We have no idea how editorial pressured, or did not, him about the interconnectedness of the characters and given that he seems to super resent it, as have other now Image creators in the past, I'm gonna hazard a guess that it's pretty stressful

Was he expecting something different?
I don't even get what your argument is here dude
Like
He is saying he did not enjoy his time working at Marvel and that it was a nightmare trying to juggle all of the balls in the air at any given moment
It being "part of the job" doesn't change that he hated it

Good thing I didn't defend Marvel
It sure sounds like you are.
At the very least when someone conplains about something and you tell them that they "should have just known better" you are implying they dont have a right to complain.

He can complain all he wants, it just rubs me the wrong way. Maybe he legit thought he'd have had more freedom but how could he not know what he was getting into.

Funko Pops are a fan product
They are making them for folks that already like the thing, so Wolverine Laura is for folks that already like her so it should be appropriately titled
Day before, had to be explained who Deadpool was.
my life is upside down.

It's going to turn out that Thanos spent too long in a boyband and can now only stand up for a key change

No no, he means the that guy that Spider-Man is currently ripping off.

Well
Rick Remender doesn't seem to have bitter feelings over his time with Marvel
Also, his Captain America and Uncanny Avengers were completely disconnected from any other books at the time.
I wish I could say I was surprised by the attitude.
Dude's allowed to vent
Shits perfectly valid and seemingly an attitude a lot of folks who have since gone creator owned share

i'm legit surprised that people are siding with the corporation here

Point out where I sided with Marvel.
I'm saying, if you willingly work for Marvel you're working for a giant corporation. Did he think he'd be exempt from their rules, shitty they may be?

I won't even say if it was good or bad in my view, I've never written for Marvel.
I'd rather not be banned from another thread
Thanks for clearing that up for me comic-book thread.
Doesn't make the job suck less
