    Mark Millar's MK: Spider-Man turning into Sensational count?

    It might not have been a cancellation, but fuck was it a bad transition.

    I'm sorta sad that FN: SM is getting canceled.

    But then I heard there was going to be more Amazing.

    I want The Boys to be canceled. Reading it pissed me off, and I want blood. On top of being as pointless and gratuitous as a 6th grade stream of gay jokes, it just isn't funny.

    Worse yet, it reinforces so many horrible stereotypes about superheroes and homosexuals that I think it's actually harmful.

    Sadly, its the only book on like it after Team Achilles got canned... one side you´ve got gratitious violence, the other a book that seemed like GIJOE if the writers actually new how being a soldier was... man, just the fact that The Boys can hit 20,000+ and Stormwatch:TA ended with less than 9,000 shows that swear words and extra violence does sell a book.


    If you want to see what real pwnage of superherroes is like, just read the team Achilles vs Authority, fucking good stuff.

    I would say that the writers of GI Joe actually knew more about being a soldier and whatnot and military technology, extrapolated or not; than Wright ever pretended to. I read some of Stormwatch: TA after the fraud fell apart, but even from the first issue, there were signs. Either this army ranger knows dick-all about guns and cartridges, despite his life depending on them and supposedly being well versed in firearms, or something else is happening...

    For example, there was a pistol (the sex-pistol?) that was supposedly chambered in 30.06 Springfield with two barrels and all of this other crap that just screamed this guy is just making this shit up and dropping terms to try and sound intelligent.

    Stormwatch TA deserved its cancellation. It was a shitty book written by a fraud.

    I really wish Morrison had kept writing Marvel Boy. Sadly Marvel and the current events of the time kind of conspired against the book. The months after 9-11 were not the place for a city-smashing alien super-soldier to wage space-jihad on humanity.
